Engadget<\/em> reports<\/a> that Garmin\u2019s services are starting to come back online after last week\u2019s ransomware attack<\/a>:<\/p>\n

[I]t looks like things are slowly but surely coming back to life. Yesterday, activity-tracking app Strava confirmed that it was again able to send workout data to Garmin\u2019s Connect service. […] But a quick look at Garmin\u2019s system status<\/a> page shows there are still plenty of issues across its platform.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Garmin\u2019s relative lack of communication around these issues means we still don\u2019t know exactly what went wrong or when users can expect things to be back to normal. A few other key services, like registering a new device, are also back up and running, but if you\u2019re still experiencing oddities with your Garmin devices, you\u2019ll have to keep being patient.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Garmin\u2019s FAQ on the outage<\/a> is not particularly forthcoming.<\/p>\n
