Garmin sync via iPad?

[Joffey]

Is this possible? As in plug a cable into the bottom of an iPad and connect your Garmin uploading it to Strava / Garmin Connect?

No, this is not possible. It would not be recognised by the iPad and there is no method of installing anything further to get it to recognise it either.

Sorry fella.

It is possible if your garmin is one that uses the ANT agent to transmit the data, if its done by USB like the Edge 800 then you are out of luck.. A great tutorial can be found on DC Rainmakers site http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/06/garmin-ipad-android-surface.html

Wahoo ANT+ device required, and limited number of supported devices presently. Looks promising for the future though.

Doesn't the Garmin 510 sync with the ipad through the garmin connect app?

I use the Edge 810 bluetooth and Iphone (will work with any Bluetooth phone) to upload to Garmin Connect because it is simply more convenient

The Ipad then syncs with Garmin Connect when on WiFi ... if you wish you can cut out the Iphone and link direct to the Ipad via Bluetooth

Unfortunately there is no possible way to connect a non Bluetooth Garmin to an IPad without using a third party, whether this be software or hardware.

You will need to download to a computer and then upload to software (choose one from many) and then again the Ipad can sync to that account
