*SEE THE NOTES BELOW BEFORE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE APP*</p><p></p><p>Imagine you are on the go and want to upload a course to your Garmin device to follow the track. As of now, this involves uploading the gpx file to the Garmin web site, somehow create a course from it and then select "Export to device" in the mobile app.</p><p></p><p>Here comes gimporter. Simply download your FIT and GPX files with "gimporter" from the "Download" folder of your Android device. GPX will be automatically converted to a FIT course.</p>
</p><p>Notes:</p><p>* Since 2019 the Garmin Connect App just refuses the connection from gimporter to gexporter, if the phone has no internet access (although none is needed).</p><p> Please bug Garmin with reports about: "`makeWebRequest` not working to `localhost`, if the phone has no internet access."* Keep the Android App open and on top</p><p>* On some devices you have to disable WiFi on the Garmin device to get a connection to the phone app.</p>

Great job! Looking for the next step: getting a fit file from the activities folder on the device and generate a gpx file on the smartphone ;-)

This app reduces the time required to upload a gpx file to the watch tremendously. It is really sad that it does not work when the phone has no internet access, but otherwise it fills a big usability gap. To be honest, Garmin connect should work like this out of the box!
