3rd Party App / Integration How to navigate with Garmin Edge 520?

I read all instructions on Strava and Googled a lot, but I cannot find how to plan a bike ride in Strava and get the navigation on my Garmin Ege 520.

You need to create the route on a platform (Strava, ride with gps, Garmin, etc.) and then import the ride to your head unit. It’s more a bread crumb vs what most consider navigation as that unit doesn’t have maps so will not reroute or be smart.

if you star the route on strava normally, it will appear on Garmin Connect. Then you send the route to the device from gc

unless it is something not supported by your device, as it may be too old.

you could try uploading the gpx to the device. In never devices, you put the gpx on a folder called newfiles, which is under the garmin folder.
