How Do I Download A Strava Route To My Garmin _BEST

Garmin offers the ability to sync routes from Strava to your Garmin device through Garmin Connect. Once you've enabled this feature, you can star your favorite routes in your Strava account and they will be sent to your Garmin device the next time you sync.

So, I thought I'd remove a bit of bloat off of my Garmin Edge 830 and remove Strava routes app until I need it again since I use komoot atm. However, it seems that there's no way to install it again. It's completely missing from the Garmin IQ store and I can't install it via Garmin Express either. Does anyone know what's up with that? Is the app obsolete? Or did I mess up my 830, now inevitably by removing the app? I'm still within the return window, so I'm thinking about getting it replaced with a new one.

Somewhere on the web I found someone telling "I uninstalled strava routes and re installed it and it worked", so I uninstalled it and...strava routes is nowhere to be found: on my android smartphone or on my windows pc I can't find it to get it back.

It adds a waypoint every time I click on the map. But if I plan a route on a complicated trail network and want to get the route exactly the way I want I need to click on the map a lot. That isn't different from how the route planning worked before. But now it inserts waypoint at every point I clicked at the map. But what's next?

Hey @Silentvoyager thanks for all the feedback on this! Really appreciate it! You are correct that the first version of these waypoints function more like control points than garmin waypoints / coursepoints. BUT, we're actually working on all of the features you've requested and will ship them soon.

- Waypoint names will begin sticking sometime in July

- Waypoint sync to garmin is planned work for late this summer.

We'll let you know when this stuff is launched! Main point: we hear you, we agree with you, and we're working on everything you've requested!! Thanks for taking the time to write all of this out!

Hey @Silentvoyager thanks for all this additional detail! We've been thinking a lot about exactly what you're discussing. Another way to say it is, every "course point" is a waypoint, but not every waypoint is a "course point." We are building the feature to account for this.

Only the waypoints that you indicate (imagine a "send to device" toggle or check box) will be sent to your Garmin as "course points" that appear in the "up ahead menu."

Thanks also for mentioning the course points that are on both the out and the back sections of a route. This is definitely not an easy problem to solve because there are two strings of GPS data that sit on top of one another but are separate. We can do some thinking about that as we build the nitty gritty parts of the feature.

Really appreciate your thorough responses. The feature is on it's way!

Hi - thanks for writing in and sorry for the frustrating experience. I'm not sure I understand what you mean. In order for custom waypoints to flow through to your device, you have to create the custom waypoints. If you'd prefer the waypoints don't go to your device, simply create a route which contains no custom waypoints. Am I misunderstanding the nature of the issue?

Hey @Silentvoyager @Atoz @sebastianlee thanks for your patience on this feature. Custom waypoints are now available for you to try. Click any waypoint, customize it, it will be visible on the web route page and will sync to Garmin connect if you use garmin devices. Please give the feature a try and let us know what you think. We'll be improving it and would love to incorporate your feedback. Happy route building.

It is unfortunately a known issue that some live segments may not appear when following a route on Garmin devices. We recommend unstarring the old segments, resyncing your Garmin to Garmin Connect, then starring them again and resyncing one more time. For more information please see our article on Strava Live Segments on your Garmin. Let me know if this helps!

Seems to work.. some of the times. But then again, could be because it's cumbersome and related to syncing times.

Still hoping for a better fix, where creating a route and starring segments just works: riding the route and seeing the starred segments pop up

Strava, the subscription platform at the center of connected fitness, today announced a new feature, custom waypoints, empowering subscribers to curate their own points of interest onto a route, as part of the web routebuilder tool.

The latest addition enhances the platform's suite of tools dedicated to adventure planning and outdoor exploration. This feature is advantageous for planning, allowing subscribers to tailor their routes to accommodate personal preferences, such as marking aid stations, restrooms, and other crucial information along their chosen path.

I have a similar issue. I have a Garmin 810 with an sd card installed and there appears to be a max of 99 routes that can be downloaded at one time. Space on the card does not matter. If I attempt to add another route it will not show in courses unless I remove routes to get the number below 99. Seems like an easy fix that has not been addressed.

great BUT, when following a garmin route, Strava segments do not show up on the Garmin, you have to follow a Strava route.

Does this new method allows you to follow a route, and still have segments flash on your head unit?

Thanks Ray

Thanks Ray, Would you know by any chance if there was a way to sync while the activities is already started? I would love to be able to do a quick route from strava (insrtead of using garmin 1030 feature) while I am lost to get somewhere else and not have to stop the acitivity, sync and select it and start a new activity.

In my case it saved my ass during a spontaneous replanning of the route to avoid a thunderstorm while following a structured workout with a group. You have to somehow get the new route into Garmin Connect, set it to public and figure out the course number by e.g. looking at the URL. You can then load it to the device without stopping the workout, stop the current course and start the new one.

Generally speaking, this is a major annoyance in the garmin software. If I knew it, I would have opted without question for the Wahoo. I have the edge now though and since there is a workaround, I will wait for the next upgrade.

Will this result in turn-by-turn navigation in compatible Edge units such as the 530/830/1030? I am considering swapping by Elemnt Bolt for one of those and I cannot figure out if I can sync a route from Strava to the edge device and get turn-by-turn navigations. With the Bolt I had to use RidewithGPS for that.

Course creation for use on the later garmins is a minefield. Waypoints vs course points, cue sheets, turn by turn etc etc.

I use plotaroute to create a course, export to FIT and then push that to garmin and the various course points seem to work ok (for example, distance to next if I put in the aid stations for an utra, for example).

Does strava support this ? Hopefully others such as RWGPS and plotaroute will come along and use this too.

Since the concept behind this is so similar to the training plan/workout sync rolled out at the CIQ summit last year, I am a bit surprised it has taken a year to add this functionality for courses. Anyway, it is a great feature and looking forward to it rolling out to other 3rd party route planning sites. Generally RideWithGPS and Garmin Connect courses have been my primary route planning tools.

As the owner of an older garmin I always had to manually export the gpx file from strava and import it on garmin. This saves time and even more important it will no longer be a problem when you forget the manual step and only find out when you want to start the ride.

Not working for me.

I created a course in strava, enabled course sharing, restarted everything. No luck.

Would i be correct thinking the route will appear in garmin connect? It does not.

And of course nothing appears on the device, an 810.

Update: i managed to beat it into submission. Download the .gpx file then fight with connect.garmin.com to uploaded it because there are two different ways to do it and only one will actually let you do it on an ipad. Then multiple restarts of the garmin 810. But after about two hours it finally made it up there although it lost the ride name.

On second attempt it work perfectly.

after some testing, i end up with 1 course in gc but without its original in komoot, so no way to delete it in gc. plus the fact that it only works if you purchased the komoot region where the course is located brings no value to me. My girl creates routes in fietsknoop (bike paths are numbered here), so i export that gpx and import directly into gc.

What I would like to see now from Garmin is the ability to be able to sync new routes to a Garmin edge device when you have already started an activity. Current the only time it syncs is before an activity has started and after an activity has finished. This is what the wahoo users can do and it is brilliant.

Strava routes imported the old way via the Strava ConnectIQ app show up as Strava routes (white ^v on an orange background, btw what the heck is that even supposed to be?), obviously bypassing Garmin Connect and importing directly from the Strava ConnectIQ app to the device. 17dc91bb1f
