Schedule Courses in Garmin Connect calendar

Former Member over 6 years ago

Can anyone describe or point to me a guide on how to schedule a Course to your Garmin Connect Calendar?

I know how to schedule workouts, and I know how to set up and run a course but it's the scheduling it for an actual day I can’t find anything on it. It seems so simple, but I can’t find it anywhere. I've searched all the forums and El Google has been of no help.

The example I'm doing is I'm planning out a training regime with a number of runs I've converted to Courses. I'd prefer to simply schedule them in on the day and then they will just pop up when I go running. The only workarounds I can think of is to schedule a workout for the distance but when I go to do it just go to Navigation and then a Course I want to use, the work out is then more of a reminder. I use a Garmin 645.

Thanks in advance if anyone can point me in the right direction or has another way to do it
:D

I never tested it physically, but I do see the possibility to schedule a course in Garmin Connect Web. Is there anything wrong with it?

Yep. You cannot schedule courses. Your solution is easy if not as easy as you would like. There might be other solutions, but I certainly cannot think of any.

Funny thing is if you if you add an event in the Calendar on Garmin Connect and then select "More" there is a drop down to select a Course. But it does nothing... It's almost as if someone thought this would be a good feature and built it into the Garmin Connect Calendar but forgot to tell the guys building the device software about it.

Go to the Calendar and click the day you want to schedule the course
Select Event from the Add menu
In the menu on the right side of the screen, in the dropdown menu Course select your course (you may need to expand the menu by clicking the link More). If desired, check the Race checkbox, and fill in the name, time, site, or notes
Click the blue button Add to Calendar

How is this useful? Is is purely a reminder or does it automatically load the route on that day?

No idea. I never needed it, just suggested because people here asked for it. Try it, and let us know.

I tested this out today- adding an event to the calendar with a course in it. It worked. Even on an old Edge 500. Hopefully- the course then goes away and doesn't clutter up my already long list of courses in my Fenix 6. We'll see how it goes. It would be nice to just have it there when you need it.

Hi, I have tried to upload my Course, but the dropdown box always remains empty ...
Is there a trick to view my courses in the dropdown ? Thanks !

I am having the same issue. My courses drop down is empty.
