Expedition navigation - course vs routes?

Can anyone discuss the differences or pro/con of courses vs routes?

What I know so far is that I can create or import courses through Garmin Connect on my PC and the courses can sync to the watch. I also have an InReach and on the Map page of the InReach website I can import a GPX file and save it as a route, which can also be sync'd to the watch via the Garmin Explore app on my phone. What I don't know is what's the difference between these two and when would it be useful to use one vs the other?
