Courses
Another way you can use the 
Edge for custom training is to 
create and edit courses based 
on a previously recorded activity. 
You can follow the course trying 
to match or exceed previously set 
goals. You can also race against 
the Virtual Partner when training 
with courses. To turn on Virtual 
Partner, see 
Creating Courses
Garmin recommends that you 
use the Garmin Training Center 
software to create courses and 
course points. Then you can 
transfer them to your Edge. For 
more information, see the Garmin 
Training Center Help system.
You can also create a course 
(without course points) on your 
Edge. 
To create a course on your 
Edge:
1.  Press 
mode to access the 
Main Menu
2.  Select 
Training Courses > 
<Create New>.
3.  From the History page, select 
a previous ride on which to 
base your course.
4.  Enter a descriptive course 
name in the top field (for 
example, 
10KFLAT).
5.  Press 
mode to exit.
