Plotaroute has now used the exact-same abilities in the Garmin Connect platform that were used by KOMOOT & STRAVA to let their routes be sync’d through to Connect and onward to your device ready for your day’s adventures. As another example, Wahoo has had similar integrations for several years now. These are two of the key trends in linking up sports and activity platforms that will continue for a few more years to come.
Thus we’ve recently seen the like of TRAINING PEAKS and Final Surge let Garmin pull structured workouts from their coaching platforms and we’ve recently seen KOMOOT and STRAVA let Garmin pull routesfrom their routing platforms. It just so happens that some 3rd party platforms like STRAVA want it both ways, they want completed workouts sending TO them AND they want courses/routes PULLing back from them…fine, that just confuses the picture of who is giving and who is taking in some people’s understanding. Garmin has taken the integration of our sports and activities to a new level over the last year or so and now the next levels of integration are to link your Garmin Forerunner/Fenix/Edge/Handheld to 3rd party route platforms and 3rd party coaching platforms and PULL stuff from them rather than sending completed workouts TO them, as has been the case historically. I’m sure you’ll agree that is not news any more. Garmin 3rd Party Routing and 3rd Party Workouts/Training PlansĪ few years ago it was ‘big’ news when one activity/sports platform linked up to STRAVA to share workout data after you had completed your activity.

If you do NOT like the clunky way you currently get routes to your Garmin from your favourite 3rd party routing app then plotaroute (and STRAVA and KOMOOT) offer a smoother, more seamless experience.Įven my limited route plotting needs have sometimes found technology lacking…I still recoil with horror at the thought of a long evening a few years ago – my inability to split a large route into two and then to combine one part of the split route with a 3rd route still lives with me to this day – I gave in. If you want to plot and share simple routes for your Garmin then there are 1001 solutions out there to do that, the most obvious being Garmin Connect! However, if you are the route-meister general in your walking, hiking, cycling or running group if you are the one who slaves away on Saturday night to create that perfect route for an early morning Sunday group adventure then plotaroute might just be something to help you. This time it’s the uber-advanced route plotting tool plotaroute that is now fully linked up to Garmin Connect and onwards to your Edge, Fenix, Forerunner or other Garmin navigation device. Today’s announcement sees another 3rd party linkup supporting Garmin’s COURSES API. Garmin – Advanced Plotting Support, Now Integrated to plotaroute
