I would be really interested in an article or FAQ that explains how the X2 can receive data from a Garmin device (I cycle and use an Edge 1030 Plus, not a watch). This appears to indicate that there is no need to connect the X2 to the phone app prior to starting an outdoor activity.
Is GPS data really received from the Garmin device “into” the X2 itself?
I raised a support call about not getting GPS data when uploading outdoor rides and it was because I was not connected to the phone app during the activity despite recording HR data on the connected Garmin Device.-

Hi Kevin,
If youve integrated your Garmin Connect account with your Frontier X App, you should receive GPS data recorded on your Frontier X App as long as you have logged simultaneous workouts on both.( Even if your Frontier X was used without pairing to the Frontier X app)
Could reset the Garmin integration in settings? Please reach out to support@fourthfrontier.com if you continue to have issues

EXCELLENT – I hadn’t realised that the Garmin Connect integration was a two-way communication, I had assumed it was simply an activity transfer to Garmin and I didn’t want that.
I now have both a GPS map from Garmin and the FF App because I had to start the device from the app. A double button press wouldn’t activate the device when I tried, it normally does so I had to initiate the activity from the phone.
There seemed to be a delay such that it was not until this morning a map was Garmin sourced map was attached to the activity – I nearly updated this thread with it failed, so there must be some delay in comms, so I will have to be more patient in future.
Thanks again – great help.

Sorry, no items found.
When using your Frontier X2 with your mobile phone during your activity, the GPS data is picked up. We also integrate GPS data from compatible Garmin devices.
