Trailforks

Same problem as Kevin below. Edge 830 and Pixel 4a. My Edge 830 is at 7.0 and Trailforks IQ app at 1.2.5. Every time I click on "My Routes" it asks me to authorize in the Connect app. The authorization opens in the Connect app, I enter credentials, and it states success. The IQ app then advances screens but no routes are available. Every time I go to the "My Routes" section, I have to re-login and then no maps are available. I tried factory rebooting the edge and deleting / re-installed the Connect app as well. The other options in the IQ app such as "Nearby Routes" does not display anything. Useless at this point.

Just received my new Garmin 530 directly from Garmin. No Trailforks maps are installed and cannot use any Trailforks functionality. Followed instructions just like other users but also stuck in authorization loop. Seems to accept my credentials but then does not download/allow access to the map. In Garmin Express, it appears that Trailforks map 2019.10 is installed but in looking on the 530, it is not on the list of maps. Very frustrating. Seems to be a common issue, is not sure why someone hasn't figured this out by now. Currently on hold with Garmin support...

Using on Fenix. Navigation is ok. Routes are ok (just boring as heck to draw on the computer). Wish I was able to just open trailforks map without having to draw a route. I use trailforks a lot when exploring new trails and would love to use the watch for that.

Same as a lot of people on here it won’t authorise and unlock the maps on my new 830 which I specifically bought the garmin for having to use Strava routing instead

Cannot authorize the app. How the f*** am I supposed to do that!? Stupid app asks me to authorize trailforks but HOW. By the way the message says „Open the connect the mobile app and authorize trailforks“ so obviously something is wrong or badly implemented already here („open the connect the“ !???) I then clicked through all options in the Garmin Connect App, the Garmin Connect IQ App and in my desperation even the Trailforks App. Can’t find a way to authorize anything. I closed the apps, restarted the garmin. Nothing. It really makes me wonder. How can I have completed a PhD and a master’s degree in computer science but I fail to install trailforks on my garmin? Maybe it is me, or maybe Garmin is just the worst when it comes to usability and user experience.

I really want this app to work, but it doesn't. Cannot download the track or ride log to my garmin watch. It keeps failing to download and either times out or gives me a IQ error. Have tried uninstallkng Garmin IQ, Trailforks, and resetting garmin device without any change. Basically renders Trailforks app useless.

now ridelog gpx can't no longer be downloaded, despite like other users I have been forced to pay for pro version. Very disappointing. I'm looking for an alternative app.

I successfully downloaded it to my Fenix 5, but could not get it to display a map. It requires that you have it connected to Garmin Connect in order to see your routes (not good if there's no wireless in the mountains), and specifically log in to Trailforks. I could see a list of the Trailforks routes, but selecting one of them did nothing except generate the message "Loading preview..." and the message never goes away. Perhaps incompatible with Fenix 5, but I could not get the app to work.

This app is all I dreamed for my fenix watch, works perfectly, THANK YOU!!! TIP: to enable turn by turn navigation to the course (supported watches only) configure your activity -> routing -> courses -> use map

Forerunner 935 on latest software. app downloads ok, authorises ok, can see my routes. download route and boom crashes leaving IQ!. bit like the route editing app, a bit half baked at present.

I’ve been waiting long to get the app for my Fenix 5plus and been little worried because of ratings, but it’s working without any issues. Even better after adding the base map.

Everytime I try to connect my Edge 830 after I Authorize, I get "Map Data cannot be unlocked". Totally useless at this point.

Does not work. Can't get the autorisation done in Connect. Bummer.
