Garmin actually has a course planner on Garmin Connect. If you are going on a hike from this website, I have GPX files for every hike available for download in the maps section of a hike. It’s simple and it works more universally. I recommend converting it to a track and sending that. It works differently on different devices. Routes work like an automotive GPS, with alerts when you need to turn. After you finish, you can send the route to your Garmin. Here you can see my route coming together.
You might have to fool around with where you click and then drag points around manually to get it exactly how you want it. Just click on the trail and the route will be created automatically.

Drawing a track is a manual process, while choosing the route option will snap your track to the trails. You can either draw a track, or create a route. And voila! You can see the fidelity of the free topographic maps is very detailed. Note the very minimal free Garmin base map. After you installed your free maps, go to the Maps drop down and pick the maps that you want. Once your maps have been installed, you can access them in Garmin Basecamp.

Each source has it’s own install directions, make sure to read them carefully. My favorites are the Open Street Map topographic routable and the Open Street Map routable bicycle (it has trails). There are more and more options every week. Before you start, you need to install some free routable maps. You can also create a route directly in Garmin Basecamp, even if you didn’t buy their maps. Click on individual track points to manually create a hike in GPS Visualizer.Īfter you create your hike, download it as a GPX file. GPS Visualizer also has a ton of different maps available that you can create your track with. You have total control of the track and it’s points. It’s another free tool that let’s you create hike track points on it’s “draw on a map” tool. If you don’t want to automatically “snap” to trails, then try GPS Visualizer.

I use Gaia as an offline mapping tool on my smartphone too. This is an issue with certain browsers, not you. You might also have to convert your file too (see below).
If you’re on a Mac you might have to change the file name from to trackname.gpx (kill the xml part). Once you’re done creating a hike, you can go to the page for that route and download it as a GPX file. After you create your waypoints, GaiaGPS will automatically snap a track to the trail. You can find it here: Create a hike by specifying waypoints. They have a tool that allows you to specify waypoints, and then Gaia will automatically “snap” a route onto the appropriate hiking trail. My tool of preference for creating a hike is Gaia GPS. A GPX file is simply a text file with a list of lat/lon coordinates specifying a track. To start, you’ll need to plan your hike and create a track, which is saved as a GPX file. Leave a comment and I will do my best to respond.
