Manual course upload with .tcx file

In my opinion the best way to manage courses is through Garmin Connect, you have the option to import both .gpx and .tcx. Once the course is created just sync it to the device, no need to physically connect the watch to the computer. Garmin Connect Mobile will do the sync.

Thanks, TobiasLj.

Garmin Connect doesn't accept waypoints that I created for .TCX file through third party apps as course points on the 'Up Ahead' screen, so I had to make all over again in Garmin Connect. I don't think it's reasonable way to use this $1,000 device. Furthermore, Garmin sells various devices in South Korea but Garmin Connect doesn't show proper map to make long distance plan in South Korea. (Unfortunately, Google router is not supported in South Korea due to military security issue here.)

Thanks, RunR.

I'm a big fan of LocusMap, but I didn't know there was a function to export to FIT. I'll try it.

Meanwhile, I stayed up for 3 nights to find a solution and found a program that could convert and send .TCX to .FIT with no issues.

I've tried most converters available on the internet, but this is the only one that works with my Epix.
