Send trail routes straight to your Garmin—no more GPX file hassle!

Sending trail routes to Garmin Connect

3rd February 2025

If you have a Garmin Connect account (which you likely do if you own a Garmin running watch), you can now send trails from our directory straight to your Garmin as courses—ready for navigation and mapping on your device.

It's as easy as this 👇

1️⃣ Go to your chosen trail page in the directory, like this epic loop I ran last weekend.
2️⃣ Scroll down to the Garmin Course section (just above the Trailhead Photo).
3️⃣ Tap the orange Send to Garmin button.

That’s it! No need to download a GPX file or manually upload anything—it’s all seamless.
