Issue with the python upload script garminbadges-updater.py

The python upload script garminbadges-updater.py found here is currently not working. Garmin changed something on their side which breaks Garth (the python package that handles communication with Garmin Connect).

The issue is being discussed here: https://github.com/matin/garth/issues/73

Until it is fixed in Garth, released and the user updates the package there is a fix that works.

Locate the garth package on your computer. On my Windows machine it is found at this path:
C:\Users\[my user]\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python312\site-packages\garth

Open the file http.py in a text editor.

Locate this code:

USER_AGENT = {
    "User-Agent": (
        "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 16_5 like Mac OS X) "
        "AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/15E148"
    ),
}

And change it to:

USER_AGENT = {
    "User-Agent": ("GCM-iOS-5.7.2.1"),
}

Save the file and everything should work again.

Dance Fitness has arrived

Image
Five new badges are here. Garmin accidentally added them in September but they were quickly removed. In September there were 13 badges so we will probably soon see even more badges added. Garmin has added a new activity type "Dance Fitness" in the Gym & Fitness Equipment category so you can switch to that for all your dance fitness activities. I don't see the new type in Garmin Connect app on Android so it will need to come in an update. In the web it is already there. To add songs for the Mixtape badge you press the lap button. Each lap will add another song. Until we get Dance Fitness on the watches you can log with Cardio and press lap for each song. After save and sync you switch activity type in Garmin Connect to Dance Fitness. Garmin Badge Database Garmin Connect Change country setting
