How To Download Routes To Coros Apex
The ability to navigate forth a route is one of the best features of a GPS sports/outdoor watch, at least if it works well. Here, how to get routes into the Coros app and how to transfer them to a Coros watch.
To Go Routes
Coros works via its app, so this is where you lot volition need to become routes. Meaning, yous need to get them onto your smartphone.
No Route Cosmos in the Coros App
The Coros app does non have any functionality for creating routes in the app, on any kind of map. Thus, you lot volition need to create routes or find and download them in another way.
Download Possibilities
Oftentimes, race organizers offer gpx tracks/routes for download. Diverse outdoors portals also take them e.g. for the hiking trails they present. Sometimes individuals also share them. And there are lots of tools which can be used, which I'll need to get to in a separate post (some time).
Detect or create a gpx, and download it to your smartphone. (On an iPhone it often seems to help to ship that file to yourself by e-mail; iOS tends to modify or piece of work with downloads in means that make things hard otherwise.)
On Android, a direct download works. Or a file transfer.
Importing GPX Into the Coros App
Use a files app to observe the gpx you want to apply, go into the downloads folder (or to the email where you take attached the gpx), click on the gpx, and your smartphone should offering you an options menu to "Open with…"
The Coros app should be shown in those options, and then only click on that and the gpx should automatically get opened as a new route in the app.
(Why all "should"? Some files apps do not show certain app options. In that case, it's easiest to simply utilise another ane. Sometimes, there are issues with the gpx files which make them incompatible.)
If the file was successfully imported (information technology was opened in the app, and the rail and data look right), don't forget to click "Save" in the upper right corner to actually salve this new route.
Using Recorded Tracks as Routes
If you have a track amid your recorded activities that y'all want to use as a route to navigate along (because y'all did a preview of a race course that does not have a gpx to download, went on a hike for which no one has shared the route, etc.), you lot tin but click the "share" push button on the page showing the details of this activity, then choose "Add to my route".
This will import this track into your library of routes.
"My Route"
New routes are saved in one's personal contour tab (the tertiary ane from the left that looks like a shield), which shows one's name and location (land) and summary, medals, 3rd party app connections… and "My Road"
This section of the Coros app is your library of routes. Hither, you can save withal many routes you want to (and can still handle sensibly).
Information technology shows the bones track, the length, the name you have given that road, and the file size.
Clicking on such a route tile, you become to the details with map view, full altitude, pinnacle data and profile. The "edit" button here allows you to change the name of the route; the "share" button to consign the gpx.
Routes here are non yet on the watch, though.
Transferring Routes to Watch
To transfer routes to your watch, you demand the watch tab of the app, the ane labeled "Device".
There, in the "Route" role, is the big "Import from Library" push button/line. Tapping on this opens a/the "My Route" screen on which routes to "add" to the routes on the watch can be selected.
When the adding was successful, the road's tile volition be shown on the "Road" page, of class.
The thing to know is that there can be upwards to 10 routes on the picket at a fourth dimension. Adding more than that number will non work – and that is why there are divide sections for "My Route" in one's profile – for 1'south full library of routes – and for the "Road" on the scout (page).
If you want to see how something of this works with a Coros Noon, here's an older video that shows some of it:
Might be time for an updated video…
Deleting Routes
If yous want to delete a route from the spotter, swipe left on it in the "Route" folio of the scout to open a "Delete" button (which deletes the route from the watch retention, on this screen, not from the route library).
To permanently delete a road, from your library, open "My Route" in your profile and swipe left in that location to open the same "Delete" button – but this 1, let me repeat, deletes the route from your library. So, you'd have to have a gpx of it somewhere to import that route again later.
