Connecting your Garmin device to RidePal

If you record with a Garmin Edge, Forerunner, or similar device, you can connect Garmin Connect to RidePal so new activities can flow into your RidePal account.

iOS (RidePal for iPhone)

Link Garmin Connect

  1. Open the Profile tab, then open Settings.
  2. Scroll to the Health & Fitness section (same area as Apple Health Sync).
  3. Tap Connect Garmin (or use Disconnect if you are already connected and want to remove the link).
  4. Sign in on the Garmin website and authorize RidePal. When finished, you return to RidePal.

After you connect

New activities from Garmin Connect typically appear in RidePal within a short time after the activity finishes syncing to Garmin. Exact timing depends on Garmin’s services and your connection.

Disconnect

In the same Health & Fitness section, when Garmin shows as connected, use Disconnect to revoke the link in the app.

Android (RidePal for Android)

The Garmin Connect authorization flow is built into RidePal for iOS today. The Android app does not yet include a Settings screen option to connect or disconnect Garmin.

If you use the same RidePal account on iPhone and Android:

  • Link Garmin on iPhone as above. Imported Garmin activities are tied to your account, so they can show up in your feed and ride history on Android once they exist in your account.

If you only use Android, check the app periodically for updates, or link Garmin from RidePal on iPhone with the same account.
