- How To Transfer A Course To A Garmin Cycling Computer Using The Garmin Connect App.
Did you know that the Garmin Connect Smartphone app has some cool hidden features?
For many of us, Garmin Connect is a little app that sits on our smartphones and is simply the way we wirelessly transfer our ride data from our Garmin cycling computers to Strava.
Garmin Connect is actually a pretty useful app in its own right and has loads of cool features. One of the best is the ability to create and transfer routes to your Garmin cycling computer wirelessly.
This is particularly useful if you are away from home and need to work out a cycling or running route on roads that you don't know.
Not only is the Garmin connect smartphone app able to create running and cycling routes and transfer them to your cycling computer, it can also display running and cycling routes created by other people. Once you have selected a route you are interested in, you can transfer that you your cycling computer as well.
All in all, I think that The Garmin Connect smartphone app is pretty underrated.

I wish I saw this video first. The first 2 minutes of it steered me correctly. Thankyou.
AAAAAWESOME!!!! Thanks a lot mate! I feel like a proper new bee... been using garmin edge for ages and only discover this option! thanks a lot for this video!
Very good video Thanks
Wow! I never had an inkling that this was available! What a great find & what a clear explanation video! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Leonard, a useful option which I didn't know was available. These smart phones get more useful by the day, no wonder people are glued to them!
Indeed!
Used you tutorial and had success first time! TY!!
Glad to help.
I didn't think Garmin routes were comparable or transferable to Strava, very useful thanks Leonard.
I don’t know if that is possible or not but this is showing you how to transfer a course from Garmin connect to a Garmin cycling computer.
@@jollygoodvelo I thought you said the star symbol dd the route to Strava@ 3.45
I did but it just adds it to your Strava routes so that Strava can use it a bit like a personal segment. I’m not sure you can use it to navigate via Strava.
@@jollygoodvelo Thank Leonard will try it out when I get to my bike and computer next week.
thank you!!
Hi I need help in the same. I have a Garmin 1080 device which connects to my phone and gives me notifications while riding. However for the last 10 rides it refuses to transfer rides onto the Garmin connect app & I can’t find the history of the ride in the device. Can you kindly advice me on to what should I do next.
Thank you.
Thanks Leonard, I've learn a lot from you just watching your youtube
Glad to help.
thanks. alot
Hi Leonard. I agree with your comments and those if your viewers that if is inflexible to a point of making the precise route you wish, that is without the need to start up a desktop,
Hopefully Garmin will work in this as a future feature and allow us to go from chosen points in order to create our ideal course.
I think it is sort of useful at a push. Several times I have been in situations where I have been away from home and not known the roads. Having something that could produce a simple no nonsense route would have been kind of useful. it would have been even better if I could have edited that route, though.
Hello. I've just downloaded this app as just bought the Garmin edge 520. The app on my phone doesn't have "more" at the bottom right hand corner.
They may have altered/updated the app - or im being a bit blonde!
Brilliant. Thank you.
Very helpful thanks
Glad you liked it.
Thanks 👍
Fantastic video just what I wanted
Glad to help.
Thanks for the great video! I'm looking at getting the Garmin Edge 530. Once a course is uploaded to the Edge 530 and I start the course this would provide me with turn by turn directions, correct? Or would I have to continually look at the map on the device?
Very useful, easy to follow.
Glad to help.
Leonard, thanks for sharing. I had no idea this functionality existed.
Glad you liked it.
clear video. Efficient communication, well done !
Once the app has calculated your route, if you press the options button (bottom right) blue circle with 3 lines, you have the ability to add course points, view details, change map view and -re route if you're not happy with it.-
also this is available straight from your head unit on an edge 820.
Edit: re route only works from the app if you change the direction.
I did look in to that while I was making the film but all the course points do is add a point of interest, it doesn't allow you to edit the route.
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
First! 😉
Just got my 1st cycling computer,
Edge 1000.
What i want to know is Audax permanent rides.
When the organiser sends you the route, presume into my gmail.
How to get into Garmin Connect & Edge?
I would imagine it would come in the form of a .fit file. You’ll need to add it to your routes in Garmin Connect on a computer. (Not on a smartphone)
I got one problem..when to sent map to device,my garmin edge 520 plus…the garmin connect said my device not compatible..how to solve it?thanks
Garmin map is garbage, my edge 1030 always takes me onto the freeways instead of dedicated cycling paths (that runs parallel to the main roads but about 50m from these freeways)
Greetings Leonard there is not courses on my app, now what?
Hello Stan. Odd. Sadly, it’s a little difficult to say without seeing it first hand.
Wow, that sounds fairly pointless - not your video obviously @Leonard, but the route creation via Garmin! "Your" route created doesn't keep to the length you specified AND you can't even edit it?! WTF. So, choosing or creating your tour via Komoot and Co and then transferring it to the Garmin seems the only practical solution.
Thanks for the info though! Good to know for when I finally get a Garmin Edge 1030 or a Wahoo Element...
Planning a route via Garmin on the Desktop also offers all options that you would need for planning an individual route. Route planning on the smartphone itself is truly a rather 'gimmicky' feature...
HI Steph, I kind of agree with you, it is a bit pointless. I travel a fair bit and go to places that I don't know but knowing that I have this app that can give me a route straight away is slightly useful. Its better than nothing, anyway. When I have used the routes created by other people I have had to navigate to their starting points which has been a bit of a pain.
