Route Library
Keep planned routes separate from completed workouts
Saved route files are for courses, GPX routes, and planned paths that should not be forced into the activity history.
Store route-only files under Routes with route count, point count, waypoint count, activity type hints, and source-file metadata.
Keep the uploaded FIT course or GPX route file attached to the saved route so it can be downloaded later.
Starter includes up to 10 saved routes, Basic includes up to 100 saved routes, and Pro supports unlimited saved routes.
Formats
Use route files without pretending they are activities
Route parsing is separate from activity upload parsing, so course files can stay useful even when they have no workout recording.
Upload FIT route or course files exported from planning tools and devices when they describe a route instead of a completed workout.
Upload GPX route files and preserve route points, route summaries, waypoints, and source filename context.
Use the saved route list to download the original route file for device transfer, backup, or later reprocessing.
