Import tracks

There's a possibility to import more than one track  written in GPX format?

If the application does't consent to import more tracks, there's any api that can do these?

Thanks.

    You can upload multiple files one by one. If you want to do it in bulk, then you could upload the courses directly to the device. Though not all devices support the GPX format. You may need to convert them to Garmin's native FIT format first. For example Plotaroute.com can export courses in FIT format.

    Otherwise an API for Courses is available here: Courses API | Garmin Connect Developer Program | Garmin Developers

    Thanks for your response. I can't import a lot of tracks in any format in my device (Edge 540) the ram is limited.

    I think that the application Garmin Connect (web) can load more tracks in one shot but there's no possibility.

    The (Courses API) is only for approved Business Developer.

    What is it you are trying to do?

    How many courses are you trying to import?

    Edge 540 got a limit of 100 courses on the device. I don't know about any limit in Garmin Connect, but it is a good idea to only keep the ones you actually use.

    There is no other Courses API than that, but if you are not a professional developer, you could use existing 3rd party services having the access. For example Komoot offers big collections of courses that you can sync with Garmin.

    Or just drop those GPC files to Garmin Connect one by one. It is rather easy and quick, and you could import in this way even rather big numbers of courses without losing too much time. I would probably open multiple tabs or windows with the Course Import page, and then drag & drop the files in batches.

    Another possibility is using the phone app, where you can import a course by simply opening the GPX file with the app, so it could be potentially even faster, or could be perhaps automated in some advanced file manager apps.
