With today's Garmin Connect update, navigation on bike lanes, running and hiking trails, and walking paths just got a whole lot easier. Gone are the days when you'd have to stop during your best trail run, epic hike or cycling adventure to take out your paper trail map and double check that you are headed down the right path. Now you can use our Course Creator - and with a few simple mouse clicks you can draw your route using Google maps, save it and send it directly to your compatible Garmin device. With Google maps, you can even show your local bike lanes in Kona, HI, jogging paths through Central Park, and even hiking trails in Whistler, BC to name a few great destinations!

Once your course is saved, you can allow it to be stored publicly for users around the world to view and they can send to their devices so they can experience your favorite route as well. This feature, we call Explore, is great when travelling to a new city, away on business or for those who want to break their same old routine and try a new route.

You'll also notice an improved ability to zoom on our number of detailed graphs when analyzing your most recent adventure.

So get started on your next adventure and get up, get out and Explore!!
