Send Route to dwMap

NOTE this optional Companion phone app has fewer features than the https://dynamic.watch website, which is fully mobile-enabled and works great on your phone. dwMap connects directly to the website.  However the phone app is a handy way of doing some everyday interactions with dwMap, and allows you to store routes on your phone to later send to dwMap when you are offline.

A key feature of the dwMap Companion Phone App is that you can send routes directly to dwMap running on your Garmin watch, and this works whether your phone has an Internet connection or not.  See Keep for Offline Use on Route List.

• The first time you use the app on the phone, select Find connected Garmin devices on the  main menu. This will connect to the Garmin Connect Mobile app on your phone to get a list of the Garmin devices that you have setup in it.

• To send a route, tap on it in the routes list to see its preview, then on the preview's  menu you should see an option Send to dwMap on [your watch name]. Tap on that option and the app will use Garmin Connect Mobile to send the route to the dwMap app running on that watch.

• The dwMap app can be running or not on the watch when you send the route. If it is running, it will say Received on the watch face. It it is not running, it will receive and use the sent route when you next start it.
• Vivoactive 3 users report that you must start the dwMap app before sending the route, otherwise the watch may lock-up (and need to be powered-off). We have not heard of this happening on any other watch.
