I'm doing a ride where the route is going to be plotted on Garmin Connect and downloaded onto my own and another guy's Garmin devices.

We'll have a support team with us and they'd like to be able to download our route so they aren't puzzling over navigation.

As far as I know you cant download a route from the Connect site onto a normal car GPS device, but I wondered if they could put something on their phone that is compatible?

Anyone know of something suitable??

    Couldn't they just view the route on their phone using the Garmin Connect phone app ?

    If its android, mytracks can use gpx files as can osmand gpx reader will show the track on the inbuilt google maps as will my tracks. OSMand uses downloaded maps OpenStreetMap.

    My preference is GPX reader.

    I use viewranger - very good, with free OSM Cycle maps that you can cache on the device for offline viewing.

    You can put GPX routes on some Garmin car sat navs I think.
