About this app
The dynamicWatch Companion for Android lets you sync your dynamicWatch routes and settings to your phone, and then later send routes to the dwMap navigation app on your Garmin watch without needing an Internet connection. Perfect for that backcountry hike, ultra-run or long distance bike ride!
The dwMap Connect IQ app on your Garmin GPS watch lets you explore new routes while you run, bike and hike, and already offers fast, wireless sync'ing with the dynamicWatch website. Normally the watch app downloads routes directly from the web site and you do not need this Companion app. However if you sometimes change the dwMap route when you don't have an Internet connection, the Companion app lets you take your dynamicWatch routes offline, and change the route on the watch at any time. The Companion app will sync your routes down to the phone whenever you open it, and the routes will be available even if the phone is later offline.
You can import GPX route files saved on your phone or shared by other maps and routes app, and send them directly to dwMap on your watch. You can also change popular dwMap app settings, such as activity type, on the fly, and search for new destinations and create new "Quick Route" from your current location. Premium users can also browse their Strava and Ride with GPS routes, and their dynamicWatch Collections directly within the app, and send them to dwMap on their watch.
The dwMap Connect IQ app to use on your Garmin watch is available from the Garmin App Store at https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/2750f280-82f4-4f21-a32c-57acc7ce4870

The overall service and functionality of the website and the ConnectIQ app is fantastic. The best of all the options I tried. I can fairly easily transfer routes in my email to my garmin while straddling my bike at the meetup using my phone and the ConnectIQ app. Worth the subscription. The Android companion app leaves a bit to be desired. Clunky, somewhat hard to navigate and doesn't have all of the functionality of the website. Just going to the website on your phone gives you a much better experience with more functionality.

Hi Kento, thanks for the feedback. Using the dwMap Garmin watch app directly with the (mobile-friendly) website IS the recommended and most common way that dwMap is used. The Android app is primarily designed to solve the issue of taking your routes with you on the phone when you are going offline in the backcountry.

I've used dwMap free for about 7 years now.. and it's been BY FAR the best way of plotting my routes of any app I've used. I pay for Strava and use Garmin Connect, and they are AWFUL at making routes.. dwMaps maps is so seamless in comparison. Its long overdue time I gave back and got the paid version!! The £22 lifetime fee is a bargain for the ability to export/share .gpx and see elevation. *P.S you pay for the web interface functionality.. the app is useless.. which I am cool with!* Thanks :)

Thank you Martyn! I think some users see this phone app, and do not realize that this phone app is limited in features and entirely optional. dwMap on the Garmin watch works directly with our website, which is mobile-friendly and far more fully-featured than this phone app.

I made a lifetime purchase at a very reasonable cost. This is a great app for route planning. There is a choice of various map formats ie open street map, British Ordnance Survey 1:25000. There is a learning curve but you will be rewarded with the ability to plan routes on the fly,open with Garmin Connect and sync with your compatible devices.
