Garmin has added  5 new badges for GroupRides.  Let’s Ride , Record your first GroupRide cycling activity. Together We Ride , Record 10 GroupRide cycling activities. Group Effort , Record 25 GroupRide cycling activities. Cyclo Squad , Record 100 GroupRide cycling activities. In the Peloton , Record 200 GroupRide cycling activities. You need an Edge 540, 840, 1040, 1050 or Explore 2. I believe you can do the GroupRides on your own so you don't have to actually ride in a group. Just start the GroupRide and it will count for the badges. I currently don't see any workaround for devices that don't support the GroupRide feature.

Goal Countdown Datafield Let me introduce you to a data field one of our community members,  Gavriel  created:  Goal Data Field It was inspired by  garminbadges.com  and I made it for myself but I thought it can be useful for others in this community. Goal Countdown DF displays your progress towards the goals you set and optionally alerts when you reach it. The current version works with 2 manually set goals. If there will be positive feedback and interest then I'm planning to add the badges, challenges as well. Description Supported goal measures: activity time, activity distance, activity ascent, activity calories, daily active minutes, daily distance, daily ascent (elevation gain), daily calories, daily steps, daily floors climbed, daily pushes, daily push distance, weekly active minutes. To enable  alert screen  (the green screen with the star   or trophy   icon): 1.  From the device enter the activity: Start/Select - choose your activity 2.  Up/Menu - {activity} settings - Ale

   The badge Saulkrastu Stirnu Buks 2024 This post will be about cheating or hacking the system to get a badge. I don't promote cheating so what you do with this information is up to you. I don't do it. I just hack the system to understand how it works. I will be using my test account to get the badge. My main account will not have this badge. The badge  Saulkrastu Stirnu Buks 2024 is a typical race badge. You had to do a race at the correct location at the right date and time. Description: " Complete at least a 5-km run in the Stirnu buks event in Saulkrastu, Latvia, on March 23, 2024." Start by investigating the description to get the requirements. Distance: At least 5 km (so any distance longer than 5 km) Activity: Running Course:  Saulkrastu Stirnu Buks event Location: Saulkrastu, Latvia Date: March 23, 2024 You need to find the race course.

The jump rope badges are now available! There are 5 new badges. If you don't have jump rope as an activity on your watch then just log it as cardio and after save and sync edit the activity and change it to jump rope in Garmin Connect. The activity type is found in the Gym & Fitness Equipment section. All new models (except Instinct 2 models) got Jump Rope in a beta release: Forerunner 255/265/955/965, Venu 3, Vivoactive 5 and all models of Fenix 7. Lily 2 doesn't have a beta program so we don't know when/if it will get Jump Rope. Either you install the beta or just wait until it goes into a production release. Note that if you install the beta you can't uninstall it. You will have to wait for the production release. How to get Jump to It badge that requires 15,000 rep counts? I don't know yet. If you add a Jump Rope activity there is a field for the Reps in the overview but it isn't  possible to edit that field and add your rep count. Maybe it will be poss
