When you are all done click “Send to Device”. Like if you are running for a specific time or want to define a pace strategy. Once it’s saved you can also play around with some of the other features if you wish. Like if it is a loop you can go clockwise or counter, if it isn’t a loop you can tell it to go to the end and back, or just to the end. Once the route/path/course - whatever you call it is imported, Connect will ask for some settings. For example, if I saved it as “Trail Running” I could still use it in a Bike activity… so maybe it isn’t too important what you choose. I checked and regardless of the “course type” I was able to access and use it in different activities. I’m not sure why this is important, but it probably has different available metrics. This will bring up a standard file upload window. Then way down low in little print click “Import”. On the left-hand pane click “Training” and “Courses”. Next you need to import that route into your Garmin watch. Now you have a GPX file with your planned route. Once the route is made, click the “Export” button, name the route, select “ GPX” format, and “Export route”. Like plan a drive route and import it into OSMAnd. You can use BRouter for other use-cases as well. In the example image below the flags are my waypoints and the pink line is the route. The web app will then route a path between the waypoints. To make a “route” or “path” you click the pencil icon and start click on the map at waypoints. I believe it stands for “Bike Router” but it has different settings to optimize the automatic routing. Again, several apps and websites offer this but the one I currently like is. Another option is to create your own custom path using a router. The pro-version of let you do this or I believe the paid-version of does as well. There are many places you can download a popular trail hike or run. The first item you need to complete this mission is a GPX file representing the desired path. Why do I want to do this? Say I have a specific run path I want to take or I’m hiking in a new area and want turn-by-turn directions on my wrist. This is nearly the opposite of my earlier post where I exported a path ( GPX Trace) out of the Garmin. In this post I am documenting how I imported a defined run path into my Garmin 245 watch.
