Creating a running course and connecting it to the venu

How do I connect my garmin venu to a course or which is the best app/method to plan a course before my run?

    I like dwMap a lot.  It allows you to create maps and sync them to your watch.  It has data fields you can customize and a map screen as well as a step by step screen.  It also shows when you’re off route.

    Thank you. This works with your garmin venu? Does this only work with the paid version?

    I have the Venu SQ and it works great.  The paid version was $10 I think for a year and I don’t remember what extra it gave me but I thought it was worth it at the time.  The developer is very good at responding to questions also!  I mentioned that while on roads I couldn’t see the dots when I was off track (it shows bread crumb dots of where you’re off track) and he fixed it by changing them to black.  It shows up in your activities you select as dwMap and does count towards your day and zone minutes for the week.

    You can download the regular version and purchase the paid version if there is something extra you want that requires it.  It allows you to save multiple routes you have created and sync quickly from the mobile friendly app the new route (it only can hold one route at a time).

    There is a YouTube video out there on how to use it also.

    This is so helpful, thank you for your  detailed explanation.  I really appreciate it.

    I put this same question on the garmin UK Instagram page and they said it's not possible. 

    Thanks once again. 

    God bless
