About

• All features described here are available FOR FREE • Payment is ONLY required to enable advanced features in "dynamicWatch Premium" paragraph below routeCourse lets you download routes to your Garmin Edge, Fenix or Forerunner directly from Strava, Ride with GPS, Google Maps, MapMyRide or Garmin Connect, or create a route in seconds in our phone-friendly Planner. Designed for cyclists, runners and hikers, just install the routeCourse app on your Garmin, and use the mobile-friendly web page https://dynamic.watch/ (https://is.gd/dywtch) to create a route, or link and automatically import routes and courses from websites and from GPX/TCX/KML/FIT files. In 2015 we created dwMap, the immensely popular map route app for Garmin watches (and Garmin's "Best Wearable Smart App" winner). Since the Edge cycling computers and the Fenix 5/6/7/8 watches already have good mapping features built-in, dwMap isn't needed there, but we realized that the route Planner and importer that we had created is BY FAR the easiest way of sending a route for your rides and races to these Garmin models. Our responsive web site lets you create routes with just a few screen taps, and manage your created and imported routes in the cloud, right from your phone. When you start the routeCourse app on your GPS it will automatically get your list of the routes from the web site, and you can tap right on the GPS screen to download a route and launch it in the built-in map and ride recorder, just like any other route/course. By joining together the dynamicWatch mobile website with the Garmin's built-in maps you can create and download routes JUST using your phone's web browser, no laptop required (though you can also use your computer if you'd prefer). routeCourse and dynamicWatch support Strava, Garmin Connect, Ride with GPS, Google Maps, Trailforks, MTB Project, Trail Project, MapMyRide, MapMyRun, Bikemap, Openrunner and many other popular route websites. If you have other Garmin watch models such as Venu, Vivoactive, Fenix 3, get the dwMap route map app at https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/2750f280-82f4-4f21-a32c-57acc7ce4870 If you use Chrome as the web browser on your computer we have a free Chrome Extension (https://is.gd/dwchrome) that adds a button to your toolbar to save routes directly from Strava, Ride with GPS, Trailforks, etc. It's now incredibly easy to browse the wealth of awesome routes on those sites, then send them to your Garmin Edge or watch with one click. All features described above are available FOR FREE. A dynamicWatch Premium subscription enables • preview routes before downloading them, including elevation profiles • Plan routes using UK Ordnance Survey, French IGN, SwissTopo and other additional map types • 3D route previews One Premium subscription enables the optional advanced features of ALL of our Connect IQ apps (dwMap, routeCourse, mapField, Rain & Wind) and the advanced route planning and management features of our website. Premium is just US$9.99/year or a one-time payment of $29.99. See https://is.gd/dwpremium • Please email [email protected] if you have a support question. This is a far better method of contact that putting a question in a review here. • Detailed support is available in our Help Center https://is.gd/dwrainwind Follow https://twitter.com/dynamicwatch and https://www.facebook.com/dynamicwatch for the latest news, tips, and updates.
