Garmin Edge Devices

Most Garmin Edge units will connect to your computer as an auxiliary device, requiring you to download route files then drag selections to Garmin > NewFiles. Once your selected routes are successfully displaying within NewFiles, eject your device from the computer, turn it on, and the route will be ready to navigate under your Garmin’s Courses menu.
