Ok! Thank You!
ReplyDeleteAndy, is there someway to know how many likes received by a review or a picture review that I've posted? Thank you so much for your help :)
ReplyDeleteIs it for the badges? Then check the progress for the badges.
DeleteOtherwise I guess you can go to your reviews and check.
Yes, for the badges. If the progress is still 0 but I checked the review and I've 1 like, why is it possible?
DeleteThank you so much
I haven't written any reviews so I can't check how they work. With just one like I would just wait until there are more likes.
DeleteThere is a nice function to get more likes here https://www.badgehero.io/trails-reviews/
Under your profile (https://connect.garmin.com/app/trails/my-trail-reviews), you can at least see how many reviews you've written, as well as the total number of votes and photo likes you've received. However, there is currently no dedicated overview page that provides a detailed breakdown of these statistics.
DeleteThank you both! I don't know why, but yesterday I won the park ranger badge (5 review likes) and now I can see the progress of the rest related badges in the app. However I still don't see the progress of the pictures review likes badge (point of view and the others). It's very strange.
DeleteIs it possible to get garmin race running bagdes? I tried to export my 5k/10k run on race day and convert it to track location of race and time of race, didn't get badge, but I see some members here can do it?
ReplyDeleteI earned the Committed Athlete badge in june - but I have only done 1 or 2 workouts in a Garmin Coach plan
ReplyDeleteIt seems bugged - I keep getting it every time I finish a workout in my Garmin Coach plan.
DeleteI dont see committed athlete badge at all
ReplyDeleteIl est sous Garmin connect entre deux badges de golf
DeleteAre there country restrictions for the therabody challenge? Someone said it's USA/Italy on a reddit post from last year's challenge
ReplyDeleteWe will see when the challenge comes. It is a good guess that it got the same restrictions as the badge in 2024.
Deletehttps://garminbadges.com/badges/2218
Their discount offer only applies to "qualifying orders shipped within the U.S., Canada, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, Ireland, Switzerland, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, UK, Australia and New Zealand." so I would think those countries, at least, can get the challenge.
DeleteThe new badge, Committed Athlete, replaces the old Runner Graduate, which is no longer valid. It was valid until 24.06.2026. The Networking badge is no longer valid either; it was quietly abandoned by Garmin on 07.04.2024. Of course, this change of the badges from unlimited to limited ones without any notice from Garmin side is not fair, but who cares what the users think of that.
ReplyDeleteI meant 07.04.2026, not 2024. Sorry for the typo.
DeleteThank you. I've updated both.
DeleteRunner Graduate and Networking are now considered to be outdated badges.
What badges have gone from unlimited to limited?
ReplyDeleteRunner Graduate and Networking
DeleteNp, I got that those are "not valid" (i.e. discontinued) and I was reading that the unlimited/limited was referring to some other badges.
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteIs Google calendar update stopped? Unfortunately, for July it isn't updated.
Have you switched to the new calendars? The old ones are now removed.
DeleteGo here: https://garminbadges.com/calendar
I've updated the old calendars with a pretty annoying event telling the users to switch to the new calendars. Thank you for letting me know.
DeleteMy pleasure!
DeletePersonalised API key for calenders aren't working. Am I doing anything wrong?
Hard to say. Send me an email with some more imfo so can I check it out. info@garminbadges.com
Delete"Committed Athlete" Badge... Do I need to create a workout plan or can I just follow my daily workouts? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe description is "Complete 10 workouts in a Garmin Coach training plan." so yes, you must follow a training plan.
DeleteThanks, Andy. I have a question about this. Today, Garmin Coach wants me to run 88 minutes. If I ran for half an hour because it's 93 degrees, would that be valid?
DeleteI can't tell for sure without testing it, but that worked with the previous coach badge.
DeleteI think I just pressed lap button to get to skip the last workout steps when I wanted to end it. I didn't stop in the middle of the workout.
Das Abzeichen Therabody sehe ich leider nicht
ReplyDeleteYou have to be in the correct country. Connect+ global badges is not used for this one. The challenge is likely full by now. It has a limit for the number of participants.
DeleteHave anyone earned the Poland triathlon badge by just switching their account to Poland and doing a triathlon outside of Poland?
