![]() ![]() But these days they do support it on a few units – so we’ll start with that today, and then on Friday I’ll give you the refreshed version for the Garmin Edge Series. Back then Garmin didn’t have any wearables that could do maps. ![]() ![]() However, for the sake of cleaning things up (and search optimization), I’m going to refresh both of those posts. Somewhat astoundingly for a tech-specific post, everything I wrote in that post all those years back is still actually correct in terms of steps. Garmin now includes maps for the region you bought it in (such as North America if bought in the US, or Europe if bought within Europe), but they still don’t include any way to freely download maps for other regions (such as going for a trip from the US to Europe). ![]() Back then, Garmin didn’t include any meaningfully detailed maps for any Edge devices, you had to buy those separately – often costing $50-$100 per map/region. I couldn't get any gpx routes onto 'Garmin Connect' via their 'manual upload', I simply couldn't get that feature to work successfully, I tried many routes from and similar sites with no luck, I tried renaming with no underscores if they had them but that didn't seem to do anything either, all I got was the repeated error messages stating "Some activities could not be created" which translated to nothing seemed to be happening at all!Īfter much Google searching I found that many had been experiencing the same frustrating issue, there were many work arounds people had tried but one that I also found worked for me was saving the '.GPX ' route from into a folder on my laptop, then selecting the Garmin 810 on my laptop via 'My Computer-Garmin 'F' drive', select the 'new files' folder and copy-paste the route into that folder, disconnect the Garmin 810 and power down, when you power it back up again the copied route then appears in 'courses' on the Garmin 810, although the courses didn't show on the 'Connect Garmin' site I had also seen what 'mtolhurst' had mentioned above so confess I haven't uploaded many yet just incase "it renders the Garmin Edge useless".Īt the moment anything I really wanted I intend to make my own version in the Garmin connect course planner.Some six years ago I did a post on how to add free maps to your Garmin Edge series device. ![]()
