How do I send my Garmin activities to Hikingbook?

Connect Garmin Connect Account

Link your Garmin Connect account in Hikingbook to upload your Garmin activities from the past 90 days (optional) and automatically upload new activities. Here's how:

  1. Make sure your app is updated to: iOS app v17.3 or later, Android app v16.2 or later.
  2. Open Hikingbook app, go to "Me" tab, tap the gear icon in the top right to enter "Settings."
  3. Tap "Connect device," select Garmin, then tap "Connect."
  4. On the Garmin Connect page, sign in with your Garmin account credentials.
  5. Ensure "Data shared from Garmin to the Hikingbook app Activities" is enabled, then tap "Save."
  6. On the next confirmation page, tap "Agree."
  7. When you see the success page, tap "Done" or "X" to close the page.

Back in the app, you can choose to sync "only future Garmin activities" or "all activities from Garmin within 90 days."

Note: Activities synced from Garmin to Hikingbook will be uploaded to Hikingbook servers with privacy settings based on your membership status: Free members' activities are set to "Public" by default; Pro members' activities are set to "Link" by default. To modify default privacy settings, go to "Settings" > "Uploaded activity privacy."

After setup, you should see a checkmark next to Garmin under "Connect device or service."

Syncing from Garmin may be delayed, especially during peak upload times. If activities haven't uploaded after 24 hours, contact support: support@hikingbook.net

To disconnect your Garmin Connect account, tap Garmin under "Connect device or service" and confirm disconnection.
