I want to be able to create a custom course and upload to my Garmin Forerunner 955 and follow during a workout. However, I have not found any good solutions for doing this while meeting the following requirements below:
1) Created via an app (much more convenient than using a Desktop, or trying to use the web version on on a mobile device)
2) Must support "free-hand" mode. I can use Garmin Connect to create a course but I can't use "free-hand" mode on the app. So half of the trails near me are unusable because Garmin can't recognize how to cross the road and get on to the trail, it will just keep "snapping" to the nearest grid point along the road. This is super frustrating.
3) Must be free (no premium service required). As far as I can tell, the Footpath app supports this functionality, but in order to send the course to a device, you have to have a premium account.
So far none of the following options meet all 3 criteria above:
1) Garmin Connect app (no freehand)
2) Garmin Connect web version (terrible user experience on a mobile device)
3) Komoot (I've been trying for 3 weeks to sync to my device but it won't sync. Also doesn't appear to support freehand)
4) Footpath (premium service to send to device).
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you
