Downloading
Anyone can download the ridewithgps route, no membership needed. (Paid members get a few more options, like advance warning of turns on the .tcx route.)
Every ridewithgps route page has an Export tab at the top right. I click the TCX Course link to save the file.
On my Garmin 720, I plug it in via USB, then the Garmin shows like a flash drive. I just copy the .tcx route file from my Downloads folder to the Garmin's Courses folder.
The 820 appears to use the NewFiles folder instead.
See the ridewithgps help for the 820 here.
Yes. I saw that I could have verbal turn by turn directions with the Ride With GPS upgrade. That's what I'm interested in having. Instead of $50 a year with Ride With GPS, I figure I'd purchase the Garmin and have all the extra features as well.
