question re: getting ridewithgps course from desktop site to Garmin 1040

[eddief]

Seems to me I used to be able to do this wirelessly from my desktop to my 1040 via the ridewithgps app in Connect IQ on my Garmin. I could pin the route to the 1040, find it in pinned routes in IQ, then download it for use all wirelessly. Seems something has changed and now the only way to do this is via usb cable and copying and pasting the actual course into new files after downloading to my desktop files.

Know what I mean?

Download route file from rwgps. Then go to Garmin connect, upload course in route planner. Save and send to 1040.

This works with my 830, no USB cable needed. https://support.ridewithgps.com/hc/e...Garmin-Connect

Similar process to sync with Strava.

if I pin it from my ridewithgps desktop and I'm patient enough it will transfer directly to saved courses on the Garmin. just gotta wait a bit for the wireless file to go over the air.

Yep, this is what I do as well. Super simple and works

I use the rwgps app on my phone and the IQ app on my garmin. Pin the route on rwgps (unpin it later). Last time I did that at burger king. Also did it in France in an airbnb.

In RWGPS, assuming your Garmin has been aurjorized to sync, you merely need to “pin” the route (in the save route menu) and the route will be added to your edge when you sync via WiFi or the Garmin Connect app.
