How are you loading courses on to your GPS?

I've previously used plotaroute.com to create a tcx file and dropped it on to the GPS when plugged into laptop. This is no longer working... It could be plotaroute causing the problem I suppose, so if so what sites are you using to create the route? Cheers

Assuming its the same process for the 520 as my 510, I create a .gpx, then convert in www.gpsies.convert.do on my PC; then open Garmin Connect & import *.crs and bluetooth it to the Edge.

It's easier if you are following mapped tracks the whole way to create the course on a PC in Garmin Connect course builder as it snaps to the track.

The first way works but is such a faff thatI've largely given up navigating from the Garmin and I use an old phone on the bars with the Viewranger maps app running.
