FAQ

I do not see the trail I just uploaded to Garmin Connect on Wikiloc

Synchronization between Garmin Connect and Wikiloc can take anywhere from around a few seconds up to a few minutes. Usually, your trail will appear on your Wikiloc profile in under 5 minutes.

The trail on Wikiloc appears as private

In Wikiloc we respect and maintain the privacy that you have selected in Garmin Connect for your trail. It's common to share the routes as public on Wikiloc, and to do so you have two options: Change the privacy in Garmin Connect or edit the trails once posted in Wikiloc and make them public. While editing your trails, it is a good opportunity to help out other Wikiloc members by adding a description in the trail as well as photos.

Stop syncing trails between Garmin Connect and Wikiloc

At any time you can unpair your Garmin Connect and Wikiloc accounts and stop synchronizing the trails you upload to Garmin Connect. To do this, you must access your profile settings and, in the Garmin section, click on “Unpair account” where it says “Automatically upload routes from your Garmin to Wikiloc
