Hi Plotaroute,

Very frequent Plotaroute user here. I love it and use it almost daily for plotting running and hiking routes around the Lake District.

I have an ultra race coming up and need to plot the feedstations so I know how far away the next one is.

Yesterday I was reading about the Up Ahead feature screen on my Garmin Epix: (https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=lQMibRoY2I5Y4pP8EXgxv7)

If I plot a route and add the feedstations manually & then sync it to my Garmin Connect, the course points disappear in GC. So I tried manually transferring it as a TCX and as a FIT file, but same result.

Any way these can be preserved? Or is it Garmin Connect which is removing them? I can manually re-add them again in GC but seems long winded.

Thanks,

Michael

It's a Garmin Connect limitation.

You need to copy the route as .fit and transfer it to watch in another way. Either connect the watch to computer with a cable and copy file to newfiles folder or if you are an Android user you can use the Garmin CIQ app gImporter or gRouteLoader to send it to watch wirelessly.

Hi Peter,

How come Strava cues goes through Connect? I'm on iOS so usb is my only PITA resource.

I rather pay a premium to Plotaroute than Strava...
