Garmin GPS

Gadgetbridge supports some handheld GPS devices, listed below.

It's very likely that other devices are supported, you can try to use Pairing unsupported gadgets to pair an unsupported Garmin gadget. If it works, please open an issue or reach out on Matrix so we can enable official support for it.

See the Garmin devices page for a list of features and issues common to all Garmin devices.

Warning

  • We have noticed that in some cases the Bluetooth traffic contains some bits of information (oauth_token, oauth_consumer_key, oauth_signature, ...) that might (potentially, we did not test) grant access to the user's garmin account. Therefore we warn all the users to mind this information when sharing the logs.
  • User data/configuration is unmanaged, which means that whatever was set in the official app will remain untouched, no matter what is set in Gadgetbridge.
