App: routeCourse

Following on from the success of the dwMap app on the watches, I've just released routeCourse for Garmin Edge and also for Rino/Oregon.

This uses the new PersistedContent and Intents features of Connect IQ V2.2.1 to download and start routes/courses on the Edge/Rino/Oregon.

It builds on the easy watch-to-web-account linking system I've been using for dwMap, together with the mobile-friendly route planner. Using the new Connect IQ features, you can browse your dynamicWatch routes right on the Edge, and then download/launch them using the normal built-in map and activity recorder feature.

This means that routes can be easily created and downloaded ONLY USING A PHONE and its web browser! There's no awkward syncing needed from Garmin Connect laptop-Garmin Express-Garmin Connect Mobile, nor any need for a computer. A computer browser is of course fully supported too when you want to plan on the bigger screen.

Routes can also be brought in from Strava, Garmin Connect, Ride With GPS, MapMyRun/Ride (although their API seems to be playing up right now) and GPX files.

The app and web site are fully functional though I am finishing up the routeCourse-specific help guides: https://dynamic.watch/

Hopefully the new 2.2.1 firmware features are ready for prime-time. As always, contact me at [email][email protected][/email] if you see any problems.

  • New Chrome Toolbar to save routes directly from websites

    If you use Chrome as the web browser on your computer we have a new Chrome Extension (https://is.gd/dwchrome) that adds a button to your toolbar to save routes directly from Garmin Connect, Strava, Ride with GPS and MapMyRun! It's now incredibly easy to browse the wealth of awesome routes on those sites, then send them to your Garmin Edge, Oregon or Rino.

    The routes are added to your account at dynamic.watch, and are automatically available in the routeCourse app on your GPS.
