The collections list allows you to quickly find all data related to any trip — making it easy to sort and locate the route or location you’re looking for.

CLOUD STORAGE
The routes you’ve created will automatically sync to your Garmin Explore web account when you’re within cellular or Wi-Fi range, preserving your activity data with cloud storage3.
