Hope that helps. You should be able to find a You Tube video and/or a User Manual online that you can download.

When you get on the rally find someone with a Garmin to show you how to operate it to guide you round the course. Martin Green is better at this than me as I don’t use mine very often and usually forget what to do until I have practised a couple of times.

When you have the files in Garmin connect open each gpx file (called “courses” in Garmin terminology. You will find the list of courses hidden in the “More” menu (three dots) and then in “Training and Planning” then “Courses”. Open each in turn (each will show a small scale map) and click the Send to Garmin icon which is a small blue arrow pointinf at a watch. Then you need to connect your Garmin to the PC by bluetooth or cable. It will show connected in the home menu of the Connect app. Then you just need to activate the “Synch”. On my iPad it takes a while and looks like nothing is happening but eventually the “courses” will appear on the Garmin.

You need the “Garmin Connect” application on your laptop. Drag and drop each gpx file onto the Garmin Connect app. Or find some way of getting the files to the app. I am not sure with a PC because I use a Mac or iPad but you should find help on You Tube.

I have added many of the routes from the International Rallies to Rides, so if you fancy a fixed based centre in Europe and want a selection of good routes from the campsite, here they are. There are 11 sets at the moment and will increae as I find more sets. For an example see https://tandem-club.org.uk/rides?group=tci2022

The classification 1-5 relates to the quality of the information within the route. So 1 is just the GPX, 2 is the GPX and a bit of description, 5 is everything, a route sheet, pictures, description and GPX. It was set up this way so that you can filter these. There is a filter for Easy, Average or H more ...
