Import to watch as -FIT file to get rid of directions!FORUMS HOME SEARCH FORUMS

Has something changed here recently!?

I've been in the habit of just exporting my routes and copying them via a wire to NEWFILES on Garmin to retain directions etc.

BUT - today whilst creating an event/race on Garmin, I imported a route into Garmin Connect on Web, and noticed it had retained all my manual directions I added on Plotaroute. (the arrows became something generic, but the text labels were retained)...looking at the Map on my Watch after the event has synced, I can see the direction text labels are retained there after a sync too.

Does this mean we can now do a totally wireless sync of Plotaroute routes that INCLUDE our manual directions? 😊 (and just need to use manual copy to NEWFILES if we want the extra features of direction arrow and other pop-up icon support?).

Nothing has changed at our end Nigel, but maybe Garmin Connect has changed. As far as I know the Garmin's API that we use for our Garmin Sync process still doesn't support turn arrow coursepoints, so I think we exclude directions with this, but when you import a route to Garmin Connect it will presumably prcoess whatever coursepoints are in the file being imported. I wasn't aware that had changed. 

I do not have a settings page on my Garmin Connect. This is far too technical and a lot of hassle.

how do i move a bookmarked route to my routes to start the transfer to garmin
