FAQ

Which Garmin devices does it work with?

Any Garmin that accepts a standard GPX course file — Edge cycling computers, fenix, Forerunner, and most others released in the last decade.

Does the app need an internet connection?

It needs a connection to fetch the route geometry from a shared Google Maps link. Once the GPX is generated, transferring it to your Garmin is offline.

Is my route data shared with anyone?

No. Routes are processed for the conversion and not stored or sent anywhere by us.

What route types are supported?

Cycling and driving directions from Google Maps work best. Walking and transit are not the intended use case.
