Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

My Garmin has stopped linking to Fetch. Apparently I don't have the plug in suddenly.
Click link ... Chrome doesn't support Garmin any more. Edge (the new IE) doesn't either and as I have windows 10 I don't have IE anymore which appears to be the only supported browser.
Any suggestions?!

I can still open up an IE browser on 10. You should have an option in Edge to do that if you go to the settings bar.

If you don't like Garmin Express and you have a Garmin with Bluetooth then there is Garmin Connect Mobile app for Android and iPhone

The browsers are all dropping support for various plugin technologies. Garmin started moving away from Communicator fairly early, so Express and Connect Mobile are getting mature (though I think Express is still a bit patchy for older watches).

Browser support for Java is going to go fairly soon too, which isn't going to affect anything Garmin-related, but there are a lot of websites out there using Java applets which are going to need updating to be usable at all.

if you have Windows 10 you should still have IE...simply start typing "Internet Explorer" in the Cortana/Search box. You can pin it to your task bar of start by simply 'right clicking' the IE icon and choosing the appropriate option.

I'm old fashioned, not putting Windows 10 in, but when I got my Garmin, the help people told me to use Firefox.
