Garmin Connect website: prepare to transfer Course to GPS device
Delete this fake Activity (option on "gear wheel"). Save as Course (option on "gear wheel") / else send-to-device on "gear wheel". rename the new Activity to something short (this will appear on the GPS device screen). Edit title (not too long: 15 chars shown on watch) and Save. "Import" (below Blue "Create Course" button). (new method, Nov19 (maybe the "Import" option was there before but I did not spot it !?))

(details may vary if Garmin update their website !) (not needed July18 / needed Oct19 / not needed Jan20).(if Connect Import fails may need to edit to 1 segment and/or fix timestamps: gpsbabel -i gpx -f in.gpx -x track,faketime=20100506060000+5 -o gpx -F out.gpx).
Check GPX file only has 1 trkseg tag, otherwise remove intermediate end/starts as 920XT will only use first one !. save as GPX: select the *Project* (not the route), R-click and save as GPX 1.1. (June20: see that DEM is disabled: when enabled can set DEM and Speed (use Sportive preset) OK (apply/gear buttons on RHS visable)). (July18: I could not get Speed to work). (not needed Oct19 when creating from existing GPX). (Nov19: not needed) add some fake timestamps (Edit, Change timestamp., set a fake start time and speed (use Obscure Timestamps, with a value). planned route out, now to add same return: R-click on track, Reverse Track, save to same Project, select orig + rev track and Combine Tracks (probably need to fix timestamps for return section). to extend existing route: save GPX from Strava or Connect, then load and edit in QMapShack (more reliable than loading FIT directly (Apr20)). (NOT Route (can't import routes directly to Garmon Connect)). load Vector map, right-click, Add Track, Ctrl-v (snap-to-vector), l-click to add next point, r-click to finish) (not the easiest tool to use, but *very* powerful once you have The Garmin Connect website but I found this limiting, so use But Garmin seem to have made it hard: you can use One reason for my choosing this device is that you can follow aīreadcrumb trail on it: useful for new routes, esp.
