Several badges have a requirement on the location. For example: Golden Week is a Japanese holiday and to be awared those badges you must change the country to Japan, Thanksgiving is a holiday in United States and therefor you must change the country to United States.
 
You change the setting in your Garmin account (not in Garmin Connect). Click this link or the link in the top menu.
Yes! If you did the required activity on the correct date but forgot to change the country before the activity you can get the badge afterwards. Change the country to the required one. Go to your activity and do a slight change. For example edit the name and save.
 
This trick can also be used for new badges that are added. If you have old activities that fulfill the requirements you can just do an edit and be awarded.
Check the country setting and then do a slight edit of our activity and see if that fixes it.
 
If that doesn't work you can go to Garmin Forums and discuss it.
 
The last resort is to contact Garmin support and ask them.
I'm thankful for all the help I can get. Send me an email.
 
I use MantisBT as bug tracker for my development of this web page. Check it out. You can see what I've planned for the future and what I'm working on. If you register an account you can add defects and feature requests.
First of all: This web page and I are not related to Garmin in any other way than that I use Garmin Devices to log my training at Garmin Connect
 
Check my training at Garmin Connect: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/profile/e7andy.
 
If you like to get to know me more you can browse to https://e7andy.se. It is a mix of English and Swedish at that page.
 
One of my primary drives for training is competitions and awards. I started to take the badges at Garmin Connect. After a while I saw a badge that I hadn't seen before in another users account and started to wonder how that worked. Since I'm also a programmer I began to investigate the code and found lots of badges that was hidden of different reasons. I then created this web page to keep track of them all. I usually do everything in public to force me to do better implementations and that is why I let you be a part of this and I get a lot of help from you by sending me emails with new info.
Go to the page Add your badges.
Enter the username and email address you used when you added your badges.
Write anything you like in the textarea "Input your badge data here" that can't be identified as a badge, for example "Delete" or "Test".
Click Submit and all your data at my site is removed: badges, username and email address.
 
All your data will also be deleted automatically after 12 months if you don't update your badges.
