User reviews

Garbage

No detailed instructions completely incomprehensible app

Map route to Garmin Vivoactive 3

This is a useful and easy to set up tool to add a route to your Garmin watch. It takes a couple of goes to get used to all the options but this app helps you stay on course without the need to get your map out.

Revolutionary

Easy to use app which enables me to transfer routes to my Garmin 235. Who needs a more expensive watch?

Works great for years now

No issues and working great!

Decent app for syncing runs to garmin watch

Really need an ability to create a route though.

Response from developer

Yes: even though we've added a lot of new features in this V2 to help you find and use existing routes, the mobile-friendly website is still the place to create new routes, for now.

The dynamicWatch Companion app is designed for iPhone and iPad. The dwMap Connect IQ app, which is used on the Garmin watch, is available from the Garmin App Store.

What are the main use cases for this app?

It's ideal for users who want to ensure they have their routes accessible offline, import routes from other sources, or manage their watch settings without needing an internet connection.
