in the instructions for segments for Garmin devices there is a bar with the option to enable or disable 20-30 popular segments nearby. However, neither on the website nor in the application is there a possibility to enable such an option. I bought a Garmin device so that I wouldn't have to think about constantly marking segments with a star, but could ride and see popular segments at the same time. Why can't I enable this option?

Don’t you see the “Popular Segments” option on the Strava website in your starred segments (URL would be https://www.strava.com/athlete/segments/starred) like in the screenshot?

 


I have a Premium account and I don't have this option. Neither in the Android app nor in any browser on Android or Windows. On my Garmin account connected to Strava I use Edge 1040.

 


I don't see this option from both the Android app and all browsers on Android and Windows. The Garmin account connected to Strava is assigned Edge 1040

 


no one has any idea what's going on?


I’d also like an answer.  I vaguely remember seeing that popular segment option a few years back.  But, not now.

Not sure what is happening.  I see the same thing ​@Jan_Mantau posted a screenshot of above.  There should be a section just under the “My Segments” heading.  


@odyniec Please check that Garmin is connected in https://www.strava.com/upload/device

 


Connected


Yes. See attached.

I just did a little test ride around the neighborhood, it loaded as expected.  The only thing different I now realize is that I’m now using a Edge Explore 2 which doesn’t have segments of any kind, live or popular.  Which means this is a moot point for me.   But nonetheless that shouldn’t affect what Strava displays on their web pages, as I could buy an Edge 840 tomorrow.  And the original poster is using a Edge 1040… which certainly has live segments.  What gives?   


In short, one big mess. One works, the other doesn't... I have the impression that Strava's programmers don't care about user feedback at all. For x years, the problem of the lack of segments on the Garmin course has not been solved, the current route planner loses segments after generating a route. Mess in the attic... Please help me what should I do to have the option to activate popular Garmin segments!!!
