Google earth paths to garmin course

Former Member over 13 years ago

I'm going on a 6 day tour and created 6 paths in Google Earth that I would like to download in to my Garmin Edge 305.

I have seen notes about going from Google Maps to course, but not Google Earth.

Can anyone tell me how to convert the Google Earth paths to courses?

Thanks for reading this and thanks in advance for your advice,

Billy.

In Google Earth save your path as a .kmz file - Rigth click on the path name under places, then select "save place as."
Go to http://www.gpsies.com/convert.do
Click the Browse button and locate the kmz file you just saved
Click the "convert to track" option, then selct "Garmin Course TCX"
Click the convet button then save the .tcx file
Open Garmin Training Center
Click File > Import to Current User Account > Courses...
Find the .tcx file you just converted and double click on it
Click the "Send to Device" button to send the course to your Edge 305
Enjoy your tour
