What is GPX?

GPX files are essentially files that give your watch the GPS coordinates of your course. In themselves, they aren’t very useful – they are only a GPS map of your route.

For uploading GPX files to Garmin devices, you will need a few things. Firstly, and obviously, you need a GPS-enabled Garmin device. You also need the Garmin Connect app on your smartphone. There are ways to do it without Garmin Connect, but using Connect is definitely worth it, and it gives your watch many more features.
