Courses

You can send a course from your Garmin Connect account to
your device. After it is saved to your device, you can navigate
the course on your device. You can also create and save a
custom course directly on your device.
You can follow a saved course simply because it is a good
route. For example, you can save and follow a bike-friendly
commute to work.
