Garmin 810 creating/amending routes on the go

[NEvans]

For my Garmin Edge 810 it is very easy to create and download from the Garmin Connect website multi-day rides. But I want the ability to amend routes while out. So at lunchtime change points to go via, or on multiple days out, create route points and/or from - to route create for the next day. If out for a week don't want to be carrying a laptop or tablet with me.
Thanks

Garmin have their own forums so might be worth asking on there too?

You need to be able to access the Garmin Connect site via the internet through a web browser. You can do this on a compatible phone/ipad etc. You CAN alter the route this way. Then you have to open the Garmin connect app, link to the 810 via bluetooth, and then it will synchronise the new route to the Garmin with your changes. Did make use of that when my wife did her E2E, enabled us to make changes on the fly.

Yes its frustrating that you can't edit in the Garmin Connect App itself - so its a bit round the houses - but it will work if you are only carrying a smartphone.

So:

Edit on Garmin Connect website (edit then save) > Open Connect App > Connect to Garmin and sync

Been trying to talk the wife into the LE2JOG next spring (fingers crossed, sounds like it will happen), and this ability to amend sounds a useful/important option on have.
