Hi all,
I have an Edge 705 with lots of saved courses on my PC. They all seem to load onto the Garmin device, but I can't view all of them from the device course menu...
My old 205 used to ask me which courses I wanted on the device. Am I doing something wrong?
Cheers for any help.
I must have posted this too late last night 😉
Any help would be much appreciated - I can't find anything about it online!
Cheers
what software are you using?
make sure you are saving them as a course not a track or a route
also, you can just copy and paste them into the correct folder on the device assuming they are on your PC in .tcx format
Google frank kinlan and check his pages
My 705 can be a nightmare had it over a year and still learning how it works
Thanks for the help guys. I'm using the Garmin Training Centre software. According the device (when viewing through the PC) all the courses are there (.tcx) but when trying to "do course" on the device the last courses aren't displayed.
I'll check out those pages.
Cheers
Have you upgraded to the latest firmware? I found in January that the 2010 rides weren't visible but when I upgraded they came back.
Anyway, you want to store courses as .crs files. Google for the gpx2crs.exe converter.
I find turn by turn directions a bit pants for MTBing so all I wanted was to see the route trace on the map so I could follow it. In the end this is the way I found to do it (from memory so forgive me if I get some details wrong);
I don't use any of the course stuff (.tcx, .crs), I convert to .GPX files using [url= http://www.teambikeolympo.it/TCXConverter/ ]this software[/url] and then copy/paste to the Garmin. Shows up in "saved rides". Select the ride you want to follow and (iirc) click the "map setup" button. You can then choose to display the route on your background map in a number of colours. Chose a colour, click "show on map" and back out of the menu system to the map view. Voila, your route is marked on your map in red/yellow/whatever colour) for you to follow
Following a course on the 705 is easy and foolproof.
Have you actually GOT a "Courses" folder on the 705 under the "Garmin" folder? Mine didn't have one by default and I had to make one myself when connected to a PC. Without this folder on the 705 you can't see "Courses" in the "Training" options... HTH
Go to courses on the device
if it's a ride you have done, click create new it will ask you where from
Click on History select from there press enter the device will do it for you
Or select the history on TC and send to device and do the same
I think
