    Would it be possible to introduce a toggle to remove Garmin Connect + badges and those pesky Marvel badges from the badge database overview? Or better yet introduce a toggle to show only badges you can earn with your selected device.

      It is possible. Not likely to come very soon. Quickest now is to use a userscript with Tampermonkey to remove they badges you don't want to see. Just edit the DOM in the way you like.

    Very disappointing there's no new badges for September, only regional ones, and it's been like that for a few months, maybe invest in your regular clusters too.

    I'm trying to get the Let's ride (record your 1st group ride) badge. Yesterday I created a group ride with the course we rode with my son, but I didn't get the badge. His watch doesn't support group rides, but if I remember correctly someone wrote here a few months ago that it's enough to be a group of your own. What do I need to do to get it? I never rode in a group so it might be that I clicked something wrong on the Edge Explore 2, but I thought it was ok, as I did have the group ride page between my main screen and the map screen.

      Did you follow the instruction for how to start the group ride: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-E67DE53E-5B08-4903-9767-F58973BC1829/EN-US/GUID-D759FBB3-E345-4562-9645-873EC5800CD9.html
      I can't test how it works since I only got an Edge 1030.

      Yes, up-to #11. So maybe it only gives a badge if at least 2 people join? I thought people here managed to get the badge alone.

      No, you definitely need 2 Edges! But you can take a group trip with someone anywhere in the world.

    At least 2 riders make a Group ride AND both must have Group capable devices. 1 rider is not a group. It doesn't matter if it's your own group or someone elses.

    I have my own group, but I have an 830, a couple of the other members have Group capable Edges. They send codes I think and since I have an 830 I don't get the code to join the ride.

    A marketing ploy to get us to buy new devices. Nope, my 830 suits my needs.

    Good morning, I was trying to upload a .TCX file to GC and an “An error occurred. Try later” appeared. Then I downloaded one of my activities to a .TCX file and try to upload it (changing id within the file) and the same error occurred.
    Any idea what’s going on?
    Thank you!

      what happens when you try it with a fit file?

      There is currently an issue with uploading files if you use Firefox and Safari. If you use Chrome or Edge it works.

    The same as other formats, i think there is a problem with upload service on garmin site

    It doesn't even work on chrome and edge.
