Suunto Routes to Garmin Guide
Quantified Self can deliver Suunto routes already saved in your private route library to Garmin Connect as courses after both services are connected and Garmin course import permission is active.
Setup
The route-delivery toggle is explicit, destination-aware, and built around routes already saved in Quantified Self.
Connect Suunto so new and updated Suunto routes can be imported into the private Routes library.
Garmin must be connected with Course Import permission before Quantified Self can create or update Garmin courses.
Open Suunto Services and enable Suunto -> Garmin Course Delivery so future imported or updated Suunto routes can be delivered to Garmin.
Behavior
Route delivery is based on route records and original files already stored in Quantified Self, which keeps manual backfill predictable and auditable.
When Suunto route import saves a new revision in Quantified Self, the delivery route can queue a Garmin course create or update.
The Queue now action scans Suunto-sourced routes already saved in Quantified Self and queues missing Garmin course delivery jobs.
Manual route-delivery backfill does not fetch routes from Suunto or Garmin. Import or catch up Suunto routes first when the QS route library is missing a route.
Delivery
Quantified Self tracks provider-scoped delivery metadata so repeated sends for the same saved route and Garmin account can update the existing course.
If a saved route was already delivered to the same Garmin account, later delivery can update that Garmin course instead of creating a duplicate.
Disconnecting Suunto or Garmin disables related automatic route delivery settings until you reconnect and enable them again.
Automatic provider connections and route delivery require Pro. Manual saved-route uploads remain available according to route storage limits.
Steps
FAQ
Yes. Connect Suunto and Garmin, grant Garmin COURSE_IMPORT permission, and enable Suunto -> Garmin Course Delivery in Suunto Services. New and updated Suunto routes saved in Quantified Self can then be delivered to Garmin as courses.
No. Queue now scans Suunto-sourced routes already saved in Quantified Self. Use Suunto route import or route catch-up first when a route is not yet in the Quantified Self route library.
Quantified Self stores Garmin delivery metadata per saved route and Garmin account so later sends can update the same Garmin course when possible.
Garmin COURSE_IMPORT is required. If that permission is missing, reconnect Garmin and enable Course Import in Garmin Connect before enabling route delivery.
Next Step
Use Quantified Self as the private route library between Suunto route imports, manual route files, and Garmin Connect course delivery.
