Route to a Garmin watch
How to load a GPX into Garmin Connect and follow it straight from your watch.
Garmin watches can guide you turn by turn. All you need is to get the GPX onto them as a course.
On a computer
- Download the Route GPX from Sketch by Runity.
- Open Garmin Connect and go to Training & Planning → Courses.
- Choose Import, pick the file and the activity type (running, cycling…).
- Save the course and click Send to device.
On a phone
- Open the downloaded GPX in the Garmin Connect app (share → Garmin Connect).
- Save it as a course and send it to your watch.
On the watch
Start an activity, open Navigation → Courses and pick your route. The watch shows the line and alerts you at every turn.
Tip: turn on off-course alerts. They help with sharp corners.
Your first routes are free. No card needed.
