Garmin RWGPS Download
Several people have said they have difficulty in downloading routes from RWGPS to their Garmin so for those with later generation ( i think from 810 onwards but stand corrected ) I set out pictorial help, using bluetooth connection. You do not need anything other than the free RWGPS account to do this. You do need to first pair your smartphone with your Garmin and make sure you follow the instructions to pair using the Garmin Connect App that you can download for free.
1. From the RWGPS link on the FB page open on your phone.
2 Open the menu on top right hand side and hit the "pin this" option.
3. Open your RWGPS app, go to routes "pinned" to make sure it shows.
4 Open your Garmin, open IQ apps and choose the routeCourse app.
5 With phone and Garmin paired refresh "routeCourse" and all the pinned routes will appear on the screen, on RH side of the route you require hit the download symbol.
6 You get 2 options, hit the "download only" button.
7 When downloaded you get a blank white square as per photo.
8 Close the IQ app and open "Courses" on the Garmin to check the route is there.
If all else fails you can of course download using USB lead from a laptop.
