Training with Your Edge
Courses
Courses allow you to train using a
previously recorded activity. You can
follow the course trying to match
or exceed previously set goals. For
example, if the original course was
completed in 30 minutes, you will
race against a Virtual Partner
®
trying
to complete the course in under 30
minutes.
Garmin recommends that you use
Garmin Connect or Garmin Training
Center (
page 8
) to create courses. You
can then transfer the courses to your
Edge (
page 33
).
Course Points
You must use Garmin Training
Center to add course points to any
course. You can add course points, or
places on your course that you want
to remember, such as water stops or
distance goals.
