GPX/TCX files on third party app or as a file on iPhone, will not load into the iphone Connect app, but will load into all other apps. I get an 'Ooops! Something went wrong loading your course.' I've deleted and renewed the app. How can I fix t

I want to be able to plot a route or accept one from else where when I'm not at home.

I want to be able to load a GPX file from my iPhone onto the iPhone Connect app, so that I then can use it on my Edge device.

I have tried the GPX and TCX files stored in Notes, Email and Files. They all work on a number of other mapping/fitness apps on my iPhone,

but not on Connect.

It immediately tells me 'Oops! Something went wrong loading your course.'

I've watched YouTube tutorials that show the process working. So I know that I'm not missing any steps in the 'process'.

I have nothing else to try...

Can anyone help?

Store your .gpx file in `Downloads on your iPhone, open files and go to Downloads, select the .gpx file and choose the share button and choose Connect, that works fine for me. Good luck

thanks for the replies... but unfortunately your instructions and similar processes of storing and opening the gpx have not worked. What you have confirmed though, is that I was doing the process correctly before I posted this qu. My search goes on.

I don’t understand, this procedure works wilth all our iPhones and the iPhones of our friends! I assume there is something wrong with thee configuration of your iPhone, maybe do a factory reset and start from scratch.

Use Garmin Connect Web to add the course if it doesn't work in the app.

Hi, If I used the web based Garmin, then the gpx works. I can then see it on my iPhone... but the whole point of this was to be able to produce a map and put it onto my headunit, without using a computer when away from home..

No need to use a computer to use Garmin Connect Web. It works in the web browser on your phone.
