Creating ROUTES and COURSES with Garmin Connect

When you are on a hike, especially off track or in a remote area, navigation is KEY. Now while you must ALWAYS take a map and compass (and know how to use them) I love, where possible to be able to easily see where I am at on a map at all times

Here we are looking at ONE of the methods I use to create routes and upload them into my Garmin Fenix Watch. Using Garmin Connect. We'll be following this up in the next video with another method using gpx.studio.
