Courses
You can send a course from your Garmin Connect account to
your device. After it is saved to your device, you can navigate
the course on your device.
You can follow a saved course simply because it is a good
route. For example, you can save and follow a bike friendly
commute to work. You can also follow a saved course, trying to
match or exceed previously set performance goals.

The heart rate monitor may cause chafing when used for long
periods of time. To alleviate this issue, apply an anti-friction
lubricant or gel to the center of the module where it contacts

electrodes. Do not use gels or lubricants that contain sunscreen.
You should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, just
below your sternum. It should be snug enough to stay in place
during your activity.
