Created a route on Garmin connect, can see the course using the app on my iPhone but won't transfer to my 810 unit...any ideas?!?!

    Don't use Garmin software, its cr@p

    I use ridewithgps, download the gpx file then copy to garmin. Job done.

    Not sure why garmin software is deemed crap, but just select the course and click 'send to device'
    Sync using garmin express

    Using Garmin Connect is easier than that.

    Not for me it isn't. Ridewithgps is very easy to plot a route without any additional software or plugins installed. Downloading and copying the gpx file takes seconds.

    Tried to press the button top right on the course screen on my iPhone, then nothing on the unit...all using bluetooth

    Do you get the sync message or just nothing once you've clicked done?

    The button went blue and then nothing at all (ie no sync message). I have an SD card in the 810 with OSM maps on it - not sure if that matters?

    Yes, I used to do that.

    I'm at work, plotted a course for a longer ride back home but our PC's are locked down so can't use USB, hence trying to Bluetooth over from phone instead....otherwise I'd just copy it over locally

    Have you tried turning Bluetooth off and on again on the device to force it to reconnect? I don't know anything about the iPhone app, so can't help on that side. Can you force that to close completely and restart?

    I'd guess that the garmin isn't paired then as i get the blue bar saying 'syncing'

    Without plugging the garmin via USB?
