Import track file (GPX, TCX...) to Garmin Connect

Hello.

I know that there are earlier posts about this but I dont get it...

How to import/upload a track file (GPX, TCX...) to Garmin Connect? Is it posible? Would it be send to the Device on a synchronization?

I know how to upload a track to the GPS, thats not what Im asking.
I have read about "manual upload" I cannot locate it anywhere in Garmin Connect.

Thank you.

    It's possible

    If there's enough interest I can build a little script to convert your GPX from Basecamp into an activity then allowing you to upload it to Connect and then convert to a new Course.

    Training peaks allows the file to export *original file or *CSV file.

    Read this http://connect.garmin.com/en-US/help/how-to/ which explains how to import files amongst many other things about Connect


    Just need to import a file from training peaks. Training peaks allows the file to export *original file or *CSV file. Garmin only allows *.tcx *.gpx and *.fit files. So how do we get our files *i.e. CSV file to a Garmin accepted file? Need to know the how and all the details and not just a link that we have to search hours on hours to find our answer.

    I even tried Internet Explorer instead of Google Chrome and still no good. Strava doesn't provide an option to save courses as .fit.

    I am responding to old posts and Connect may have evolved but I experienced the problem of not being able to Import gpx files from third party applications. I eventually found I needed to access via 'Dashboard'. A large dotted outlined box appeared with a '+'. Selecting that brought a list up from the the left containing a selection including 'Courses'. That brings up another box titled 'COURSES' and on the right is a 'wheel symbol' that leads to a selection 'Go to Full Page'. There I found in large letters 'Create a Course' and under it 'Import'. Importing a gpx file here via either method was successful and lead to it being editable on a map. I originally attempted to use ACTIVITIES. That section is not for mapping but for fitness recording.

    I also had the same simple intention. To import GPX to Garmin Connect courses and then push it to my device. Why is that this hard really... Hugely disappointed.

    Disappointed by what? Did you try simply importing the course on the Courses page (https://connect.garmin.com/modern/courses)? (see the Import link at the bottom if the white box)

    Hey Trux, thank you for your answer.

    Actually, you have your right, I am disappointed by the general customer experience. Whether it is Garmin, Komoot, Ridewithgps, Strava or any other related app. I am having a real hard time planning something on-the-go on a mobile platform. Of course it is managable on PC with cables and stuff. I also found out that by saving that link you shared it is somewhat ok. But still, it should have been designed as a hassle free, entertaining process.

    Kind regards, Omur

    You can use the connect.garmin.com site. 

    1) Left menu bar > Training > Course

    2) Small red text saying upload

    3) Upload file > Save > Sync device

    As explained here support.garmin.com/.../
