How to discover and plan great new cycling routes with Garmin Connect and Garmin Edge 1030 Plus
Using Garmin Connect for planning new routes is a great way to keep your riding fresh and will help you discover new trails.
Garmin Connect software is a superb tool for route planning, offering several ways to easily map out a ride and upload it quickly to your head unit. A key feature is Garmin’s Popularity Routing, which provides a very useful insight into the area that you want to ride in, highlighting trails with colour-coding to show their popularity from all the data that has been uploaded by other riders. This is both an effective way to discover new trails/routes and also a means to be confident of getting a decent route. This video also takes a brief look at Garmin’s latest Edge 1030 Plus head unit, with many new features making it undeniably a market leading product.

Hi! Does the round trip work with the garmin edge 530 also? Br
The map avoids existing paved bike trails and instead puts you on roads without a bike lane. A really bad planning tool.
