Simple Button Request - Duplicate Course

Former Member
Former Member
This is a simple, but heartfelt request to the Garmin Connect Dev, give us a button in the Courses that allows us to duplicate the course.

This would allow us to take an existing course, which we like, then edit it and save it under a different name.

I could then add 10km, or whatever, to my favourite course without losing the original.

It's surely a very simple thing to achieve, but I'd really appreciate it. :)

    +1. Its ridiculous. Ironically once the course becomes an activity, you can create as many course as you like out of it. I used the post above about sending to decvice/exporting from GTC as GPX/ and then loading into an activity on Garmin Connect. It does not work with TCX. Then, I used that activity to create a few courses based on the work from the original. Its stupid. Duplicate, Save As..., Copy or something like that needs to be implemented.

    Theres a "relatively" easy way to achieve this, I've used it a few times.

    Create a second Garmin account (I do it using a different browser so I can have both accounts open at the same time)
    copy the url of the course "connect.garmin.com/.../8888888" and paste it in the second browser/account.
    Click "Save as", you now have a duplicate of the course on the second account.
    Alter the course as you see fit and save it.
    Then reverse the process, paste the new url into the original browser/account
    Hit "save as" and you are done.

    Its honestly a lot simpler than it sounds. Save the course to a second account, alter and save back on your real account.

    So here it is 2 whole years later, and Garmin still has not fixed this. This is absurd! How do you expect to remain in business Garmin with this blatant disregard of a simple feature requested by multiple users!

    To create course, I just use www.ridewithgps.com It easy to copy a course with save as new course and then transfer it to Garmin devices.
