Hello,

Last update 19.18 was great and add cool feature to garmin explore. Now i can create waypoint on my app and sent it directly to garmin 955. Next i have a question for choose the activity and garmin watch create a course to sended waypoint.

But, if i create course on my iphone 12 on explore app and try to send it to my gramin 955 i have  info: "Synchronization failed".  I try to repeat synchronization, but i still have the same info.

This feature is not implemented yet?

    I have the same experience using the Garmin Explore app on my Android phone. I can tap a point on the map in the Explore app and then tap 'Go' and then on the watch it will ask to select an activity type and then load the turn by turn navigation to the selected point.

    When I create a course in the Explore app and tap 'Go' it will say "Syncing Course to device" for a couple seconds and then "Sync failed".

    If I use 'Copy as Track' on that course in the Explore app and then tap 'Go' on that created track it will sync to the watch and the watch will ask to select an activity and then load that track as a course.

    Same here, I already reported this problem to product support.

    Same here, creating a course on the Explore app doesn't seem to sync them to the watch. In my case it's Android, running the latest version on the watch and on the phone. The course simply doesn't sync even though it says sync finished. Starting the course from the app also doesn't work.

    If I save the course as a track (Copy as Track) then it syncs and shows up as a course on the watch. Sounds like a bug.

    This is now working for me. I am on the beta 20.26 watch version and Explore app version is 3.13.2 on Android. 

    I can sync courses created in Explore to the watch and I can click 'Go' from a course in the Explore app and it will start an activity on the watch.

    Great news, will test it out once this beta cycle gets released as I'm not on the beta branch. Thanks for the heads up!
