Ride your Garmin Connect route indoors

Export your Garmin Connect route as GPX, load it into rampida and ride it in 3D with real terrain on your smart trainer. Takes two minutes.

1. Get the file from Garmin Connect

OpenOpen connect.garmin.com in a browser and pick the course under “Training & Planning” → “Courses”.
ExportIn the detail pane ⋯ → “Download (GPX)”. For an activity: open it, gear icon → “Export to GPX” or “Export Original”.
Tip“Export Original” gives a ZIP file – unpack it and load the .fit file.

Open rampidaOpen rampida.com/app.html in Chrome or Edge and create a free account.
Load the fileTap “Load GPX / FIT” on the home screen or simply drop the file onto the window. rampida snaps it to real roads and loads terrain, forests and buildings.
RidePair your smart trainer and start. The trainer sets the gradient of the route, climbs are timed.

Straight from the bike computer (Edge via USB) works too: rides sit there as .fit files in the “Activity” folder.
Garmin changes the web interface from time to time. If you cannot find the option, save the activity as a course and export the course.
Too long or a detour in it? Trim start and end or delete outliers in the route editor.

Garmin Connect is a trademark of its owner. rampida is independent. Menu labels at Garmin Connect may change.

Does this work with Wahoo or Hammerhead?

Yes. Export the ride as a FIT or GPX file from the manufacturer’s app or via Strava and load it into rampida.

Does rampida read FIT files?

Yes: .gpx, .fit and .fit.gz. Unpack ZIP files first.

Do I need a smart trainer?

To ride, yes – any trainer with Bluetooth FTMS or a basic trainer with a power meter. Viewing and editing works without one.
