## Description

The ultimate way to see your routes on all your devices - Mac, Phone and Watch, including Garmin. Integrates with other apps to share routes and convert between formats.

Sports watches and route planners speak different file formats: GPX, FIT, TCX, KML... and your Mac, iPhone and Watch open none of them well. 

This app fixes that, then goes one step further and puts routes ON your watch.

* Open any GPX, FIT, TCX or KML
* Map view, elevation, heart rate and pace charts, per-km splits, the device's own laps
* Press Space on any route and see it drawn, with headline stats
* Route thumbnails for FIT files, right on your Mac
* Works with Garmin exports, Strava bulk archives, AllTrails and Komoot downloads, coach emails
* One click makes it the default app 

Route Viewer Pro:

* Send to Watch
- USB mounted devices writes a ready-to-ride course onto any device that mounts as a USB drive (Edge bike computers, many older watches)
- Current Garmin watches: AirDrop the course to your iPhone or hand it straight to Garmin Connect in your browser; either way it syncs to the watch wirelessly
- Apple Watch: AirDrop to your iPhone; share to your watch from the app

* Route converter: any GPX, KML, TCX or FIT becomes a watch-ready FIT course, with turn-point cues and Virtual Partner timing
* GPX export: clean files for sharing, or AirDrop to iPhone watch apps

One purchase across all devices

* iPhone and iPad: open a route from anywhere via the share sheet, see it on the map, and share a course straight to Garmin Connect or AirDrop it to your Mac
* Apple Watch: send a route to your wrist and follow it. The route draws as a breadcrumb with your position on it, the distance you have left, and an arrow back to the line if you wander off it

Private by design; no cloud storage or interim steps.
