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
At Wikiloc we respect and maintain the privacy settings you have chosen in Garmin Connect for your routes. Usually, routes are shared as public on Wikiloc, and to do so you have two options: Change the privacy settings in Garmin Connect or edit the routes on Wikiloc and switch them from private to public. Editing your routes is also a great opportunity to stand out by adding a description as well as photos.
Regardless of the privacy you have chosen in Garmin Connect, if you want your routes to be automatically shared as public, check the option “Upload your routes as public to your Wikiloc profile” in the Settings section of the website.
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”
In case you want to upload only a specific set of routes, you can always do this by exporting the route in GPX or TCX format in Garmin Connect and upload it to Wikiloc, as explained in the following article - Upload a trail to Wikiloc from a Garmin device
