Once set up, automatic activity sync via Garmin Connect is a one-way process which uploads the recorded activity data from your Garmin device, syncs via Garmin Connect, and transfers those activities directly to your Ride with GPS account.

* NOTE: once signed in, Garmin will sync all activities logged within the last 5 years to your Ride with GPS account. This process is a one-way transaction, syncing Garmin Connect > Ride with GPS only.
