    Put it in the "newfiles" folder on the Garmin, then it will appear when you select the Courses feature.

    I thought that was for GPX/TCX files only?

    Just tried it, works for FIT files on the 800. :)

    I think it's the same for FIT files, though I haven't tried it. It would include all the track data, so it should be the same as loading a TCX/GPX?
