Your Garmin watch can plan running routes for you — here’s how to use Garmin’s round-trip course feature

Whether you’re bored with your regular running routes or you find yourself poring over maps on holiday trying to find a route to run, the answer might be far simpler than you think. I’ve been writing about the best Garmin watches for the past decade, and in my opinion, the brand’s round-trip course is one of the best features on board.

Round-trip course is available on Garmin’s higher-end devices that support mapping, including the Garmin Epix 2, Garmin Fenix 7 and Garmin Fenix 8, and the Garmin Forerunner 970. Most other Garmin watches allow you to create the route on your Garmin Connect app and load it onto your watch, but it won’t be as detailed or re-route if you go off course.
