[#8006154]

Just bought a 820 edge to explore more rides around the country plus local rides other people use, thought I'd simply log into Garmin connect and search other people's trails but I cant, I'm not brilliant with technology but thought it would be easier than this, any tips or information or better still a step by step guide that an ape could follow, thanks

No idea where the button is to take you there but after logging in go here:

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/courseExplore

Which is the page for searching other peoples' (public) courses/activities

Still much prefer Strava though for finding new stuff, especially off-road using the Segment Explore function

Main benefit of Strava Premium with the newer Garmins like the 820 is Live Segments which are great fun. Also I think you have to be a premium member to download other peoples' routes. You should be able to do a free trial to see if it's worth it for you.

Yes I've got 60 days premium account but I still can't get to explore courses in Garmin connect
