I want to plan decent bike routes road or off road on the ipad and then eventually load it on to my garmin. I'd like to be able to just draw the route on and then see the elevation etc. like you can on desktop versions

Any ideas?

I'm not even sure you can..
I don't think iPad supports Garmin.

But I'm more than willing to be proved wrong, as this would help me out, as I too want too be able to do this...

Yeah, not sure it does exist but wondering if anyone has discovered some kind of hack that would make it work...I can't see why an app couldn't be developed that spat out a gpx file that would work for garmins.

Kind of weird the garmin ipad app is so 'meh'

I use mapmyride, you can export a gpx file from there.
