Routable and non-routable gpx

Hello,

I love the super-easy way to send gpx files to the Fenix via Routecourse.
But I can't find out how to get turn by turn directions on all of them.

Used the search but can't find an easy explination. Can't believe it is not already there.
Anyone?

No, RouteCourse do not generate any turn dir, tbt, and you can't manually insert any either. At least when I used it.
You can try to let the watch calculate/generate tbt, by configure it with 'use map'-option.

Otherwise Plotaroute site together with Gimporter CIQ-app, is an effective mobile solution.

Glad you like our routeCourse app. Here is the info on how the Premium option for routeCourse includes cue sheet information from Ride with GPS direct import, and from TCX files, in the downloads: https://dynamicwatch.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007147772-TCX-and-Ride-with-GPS-Cue-Sheets

However, your Fenix 5X should be able to generate its own turn by turn info for any downloaded routes (free or Premium routeCourse, GPX or TCX files) using its internal maps. See "Turn by Turn Directions" on https://dynamicwatch.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007147752-Using-routeCourse-on-your-Fenix-5-series-or-Forerunner-645-645M-935

Thanks.

But somehow the map freezes with option 'use map' on after choosing the course.

(I see now that you can also download routes on your phone and get them on the Fenix via the Connect-app.)

Anyone any idea for an easy way to make a downloaded gpx routable (with less than 50 routepoints.)
