Addressing Data Migration Challenges After Atlas Closure
⚠️ Cannot access CatEye Atlas website
Cause: The CatEye Atlas website was officially closed on January 30, 2025.
Solution: The service is no longer operational. You will not be able to log in or access any data stored exclusively on CatEye Atlas. Focus on managing data through the CatEye Cycling™ app and integrated third-party services.
⚠️ Ride data not uploading to an online platform
Cause: Possible issues with app settings, internet connection, or third-party service integration.
Solution: We know data upload issues can be frustrating. First, ensure your CatEye Smart Computer is correctly paired with the CatEye Cycling™ app. Check your smartphone's internet connection. Within the CatEye Cycling™ app, go to Account settings and verify that your Strava™ or TrainingPeaks™ accounts are properly linked. Remember, direct uploads to CatEye Atlas are no longer supported.
⚠️ Lost historical data from CatEye Atlas
Cause: Data was likely deleted or became inaccessible upon the service closure.
Solution: Unfortunately, CatEye advised users to back up their data before the closure. Any data stored solely on the CatEye Atlas platform might no longer be recoverable. Always back up your ride data from the CatEye Cycling™ app to your phone or connected services regularly. The CatEye Cycling™ app also offers a backup function to cloud storage like iCloud Drive or Google Drive.
Maintaining Your Cycling Data Privacy Post-Atlas
- 🔒 Regularly update your CatEye Cycling™ app to ensure you have the latest security patches and features.
- 🔒 Use strong, unique passwords for any third-party cycling platforms like Strava™ or TrainingPeaks™ where you upload your data. Consider using a password manager.
- 🔒 Be mindful of the privacy settings on connected services (e.g., Strava™). Control who can see your ride data, maps, and personal information.
- 🔒 Do not log into third-party services via generalized Google logins within the CatEye Cycling™ app; instead, enter your email and password directly to maintain clearer authentication pathways.
- 🔒 Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on any integrated online platforms for an added layer of security.
