Sorry you are having this issue. I'm unable to reproduce. I have an Edge 530 with firmware 8.20 and 9.40 and login/auth works fine for me. Can you contact [email protected] letting us know your Edge firmware version and any other detailed info.

Mine reboots as well. I called support, and they couldn't figure it out. They stated that they'd have to continue troubleshooting via email. I haven't heard a peep out of them. Useless app. Useless support.

Just purchased the Edge 530 to use Trailforks to find and navigate trails in northern California; where I recently moved to. As other have said, every time I try to enable/login the Trailforks (either through Navigation or Connect IQ), the Edge 530 reboots. Is this part of the change to subscription based usage for Trailforks?

For some reason won't download green-trails. When I select download, after downloading it displays activity selection screen, if I go back then it looses the download data. This happens for routes also.

Everytime I try to connect it restarts my Edge 830. It works on my Fenix. I’m so disappointed.

Never had an issue with Garmin and trial forks. I like how easy it is to upload trails from trail forks to my Garmin device. I have a lot of favorite trails loaded to my Garmin device. I use trail forks and my device for hiking and cross country skiing.

Overall a good watch app. Does what it is supposed to. Just like Komoot, you need the ACTUAL Trailforks app on your phone or PC. Without your watch connected to your phone, I believe the app uses breadcrumb navigation. If you're connected to Connect, then real-time GPS is combined for accuracy. So far, have not been disappointed and everything tracks as it should.

I understand the comments from previous reviews as it is not a user friendly app. I own a Fenix for MTB primarily, so I still appreciate this app and its functions. I think more of the issue is with how the actual Traiforks app on your phone syncs to Connect. My process is to 1. Add route to my wishlist (On phone Trailforks App). 2. in Trailforks phone app, I swipe down forcing my wishlist to actually sync on the server side of Trailforks (THIS IS THE BUG). If you DONT go into your "My Wishlist" and swipe down to update, it for some reason will NOT show up in your "My Routes" on the Trailforks Garmin app! Weird! 3. Goto Trailforks app on Garmin (ensure Connect is open and connected between watch and phone). 4. Download your route from "My Routes" Trailforks should work on this, especially since they charge such a premium now for their service. Also since Outside bought them out, resources shouldn't be an excuse.

Doesn’t work. Crashes every time I try to download a route from my wishlist. It’s unusable, and I already paid for the pro version of Trailforks just to be able to use maps in my fénix 6s. Waste of money. Fix it!

Terrible. I should be able to just pull up to a trail system open up the app and view a map with the trails. Shouldn't have to search for routs or anything like that. Just want defined MTB trails showing up on my Garmin

This is out of scope to what is possible with these Garmin IQ apps. Certain Garmin devices like the Edge 530 and 830 come integrated with Trailforks maps. Or you can download custom made Garmin maps from Trailforks here https://www.trailforks.com/tools/garminmaps/

The concept is cool but the execution terrible. Many long-standing trails that have been on TrailForks for years simply don’t show up on Garmin. If any new trails are added they also don’t show up even after “updates”. Both TF and Garmin need to get it together. I’d buy another app and device that does better in a second.

Just got a Garmin 830. Can’t authorize Trailforks for some reason. I wanted this to help me navigate certain trails. What’s the deal?
