Unable to import a KML as a Course in any way possible?

Most of the MTB Trails in my area provide a KML file that you can use as a reference when going on the trails. Is there no feature provided by Garmin to be able to import a KML File as a Course?

    Hey Neil, I know this post is very old, but I'll leave this for anybody in the future who comes to this post after a Google search. There is a workaround to import KML courses into your Garmin device. There's no way to import a KML file into Garmin Connect directly, but you can import it to your device by taking the following steps:

    1. Download KML file to your computer
    2. Install Garmin BaseCamp
    3. Import KML file into BaseCamp
    4. Connect Garmin Device
    5. Send route to Garmin device from BaseCamp

    Then once you have the route on your device, you can do the route, then save the track from that activity as a course into Garmin Connect, if you so desire.

    Hope this is helpful for you and for anybody else in the future.
