Having problems syncing to Garmin Forerunner as well :(

Same problem as Brian John, my starred routes are not syncing to Garmin. This has been working for a couple years and stopped a couple days ago.

Hi there, My Plotaroute account will no longer sync with my Garmin connect app. I have disconneted them several times to try and fix it as per the instructions in the FAQs but this has not worked. What can I do next to try and fix this problem?

Hi Phill,

Indeed, there is a limitation on automatic synchronization with Garmin. This is intentional, as it allows for precise control over which routes one wants to sync to their Garmin device. Therefore, only "starred" routes in the "My Routes" tab are synced. We understand that this might feel limiting, but we also want to avoid unwanted or frustrating synchronizations.

However, we could work on a simpler process to create your own copy of an existing route. This would make it easier to copy any route into "My Routes", allowing for a quicker and smoother process to star it and then sync it.

As you may have read, Plotaroute has been acquired by Visorando. We are still in the process of familiarizing ourselves with the tool, but updates and improvements will be coming soon.

Thank you for your feedback

Hey Plotaroute folks,

It feels like there is a limitation around the sync to Garmin functionality, I have a few 'Bookmarked' routes in my profile, and the only way I see to sync them to my Garmin is to edit and create my version of the route, which if I'm honest seems a long-winded way of doing it. Is there any way to directly sync a bookmarked course, or have I missed something?

If there isn't a way to do this other than the above, could I perhaps put this as a feature request for consideration? So that when you sync from a bookmarked page it adds the route to 'My Routes' as a copy, therefore avoiding the possibility of a nasty 'surprise' when I'm out for my run/ride/hike and relying on my Garmin?

By no means a complaint of any sort, I feel this would be extremely useful for existing users to take out a step in the process that could be automated.

how do i move a bookmarked route to my routes to start the transfer to garmin

I do not have a settings page on my Garmin Connect. This is far too technical and a lot of hassle.

Nothing has changed at our end Nigel, but maybe Garmin Connect has changed. As far as I know the Garmin's API that we use for our Garmin Sync process still doesn't support turn arrow coursepoints, so I think we exclude directions with this, but when you import a route to Garmin Connect it will presumably prcoess whatever coursepoints are in the file being imported. I wasn't aware that had changed.
