[#11083460]

Is it possible to upload this to my Garmin for turn by turn navigation?

Yes.

I've just downloaded it to my Edge 520.

As to whether it gives TbT, I don't know as I'm about 300km away from that location.

On the page you linked to there's a "download to my device" button, click that and follow the instructions.

Yes, I've done the same. I think the process is:

There is a 'more' button, then I click 'Export as File' and choose tcx and save that somewhere.

Then open up Garmin Connect, select 'training' then 'courses' and then there is a little 'Import' button, select that and find the tcx file you saved earlier and then save the course - you should then be able to send it to your garmin.

I've only got a garmin edge 25 - other garmins might have a better process

Download the app to garmin and send ride directly from ridewithgps if subscribing for turn by turn.
I use a 1030

If it's a 1030, Nowad might mean put the ridewithgps IQ app on the Garmin, pin the route in RWGPS and then you can download the route from the Garmin when on wifi/bluetoothed to your phone. It's a bit of a revalation and works every time.

You need a more recent Garmin for that to work - here's a list: https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/compatible-devices/

Ah, mine is the antiquated 810 but I have managed to upload some sort of route which is nice.

I thought I'd try the IQ app since I've a supported device. Now I think I've everything set up correctly: pinned route in RWGPS (I've an account); entered account details in Garmin Express widget page; bluetooth enabled and connected to phone. I go to the widget, select direct download and pinned routes and get this error:

"Access failed. Account issue"

I've gone through the settings in RWGPS and can't see anything "wrong". Any clues?

Try emailing or tweeting their support, they're generally quite helpful.
