Getting better and better
It is very helpful to be able to open/modify and then upload some routes directly from my phone to my watch. Keep developing this Garmin ! I wish garmin would have its own database of routes like Outdooractive.

Description
Map, Track, Sync and Share Your Trek From Anywhere
For adventure seekers, explorers and outdoor enthusiasts, the Garmin Explore ecosystem offers a complete mobile navigation solution that — when paired with a compatible Garmin device¹ — lets you map, track and navigate your trek from anywhere with unlimited cloud storage.
Garmin Explore provides basic trip planning or viewing of maps you’ve preloaded on your device. Or you can use the mobile app to pair your smart device via BLUETOOTH®² technology with a compatible Garmin GPS device, so you can do and see even more.
Access Online Connectivity
Garmin Explore provides free online access to a wide range of additional capabilities. For example, you can download detailed topographic maps, color aerial imagery and other navigation aids directly to your mobile device. The maps and navigation data loaded onto your device can be used anywhere, anytime — even when you’re out beyond the reach of cellphone towers or internet connections.
Manage Your Collections, Tracks and Routes
Review and edit your waypoints, tracks, routes and activities in your library. Add them to a collection to keep all the recorded data from a certain trip together in one place. For example, if you’re taking a long trip, you can plan different waypoints, tracks and routes for each day of the trip and combine them into one collection.
Your Mobile Cloud Connection
The Garmin Explore app will send and store the waypoints, planned routes, GPS tracks and Garmin activities you've recorded in the cloud, allowing you to access and use that data on the Garmin Explore web site to plan or review your adventures. You can also sync your cloud-stored data with a compatible Garmin device. A Garmin account is needed to store your data in the cloud. Your activities (e.g., runs, walks, hikes, etc.) include data such as distance, pace, activity time, location, etc. that were recorded by your device.
More Off-grid Capability with inReach® Technology
Use Garmin Explore with your inReach enabled devices, such as the GPSMAP® 66i navigator and satellite communicator, to turn your mobile device into a true off-the-grid satellite companion. In an emergency, you can trigger an interactive SOS to the GEOS 24/7 emergency response team. Two-way messaging and LiveTrack location tracking via the 100% global Iridium® satellite network let you stay in contact globally. The Garmin Explore app allows you to access your phone’s contact list for easier messaging and sharing when connected.

• Unlimited map downloads; access topographic maps, USGS quad sheets and more

Poor map support for users outside US
European users are limited to the included TopoActive map. This map is not accurate enough for proper route planning or tracking for hiking in the wild.
GPX import not functional
GPX import does not support .gpx-files; quite a big minus.
Language changed to polish by itself. I don’t speak polish…
Language changed to polish by itself. I don’t speak polish… And it is impossible to change it back…
Ei yhdistä Alpha200i:hin
En one saanut paritettua Alpha 200i:n kanssa. Puhelimena iPhone SX.

Very useful!
I use this app with my fenix 6X Pro and eTrex 22x so I can design routes with garmin basecamp and sync routes with these two devices. I can also modify a track made with fenix 6 later in basecamp. This is awesome!
GPX import
I enjoy planning routes on my iPad and instantaneously uploading them to my beloved GPSMAP device. The functionality is not as sophisticated as in Komoot, but anyway thank you very much! :) What is certainly missing is GPX file import the way Komoot and Wikiloc do. I find interesting routes in other apps and want to import and edit in Garmin Explore which should be the destination for all my routes.
