GPSies helps you find tracks for all kinds of fitness activities around the world. You can also contribute to the community by uploading your own tracks.

With the Communicator Plugin, Garmin fitness users can download their tracks of interest directly to the device from the site. Here’s how:

First, find a track you’re interested in. You can find a track by region and also by type of fitness activity. Each track is represented by a bubble icon representing the kind of activity it is (bike, shoes, car, and others). Click the bubble icon once, and then click “View” to see the track laid out on the map:

Once you’ve found and displayed the track, select “Garmin Course TCX” from the drop-down menu, and then click “Export to Garmin GPS”, displayed below:

A transfer window will popup. Click the “Send GPSies file to Garmin GPS device…” button shown below:

Now you’re good to go! The track will appear in the Courses menu of your fitness device.
