The Garmin Explore App, available for Android and iOS, is a mobile application that can stand on its own or be used in conjunction with a compatible Garmin device. The application allows for downloading maps to a mobile device, sort data into collections, and create waypoints, routes, and tracks.

The Explore application will sync the following from the Explore website:

Collections
Routes
Tracks
Waypoints

The following will sync between the Explore application to a compatible Garmin device:

Routes
Tracks
Waypoints

When the mobile phone or tablet has a cellular data connection, activities can be synced to Garmin Connect, and other data can be synced with the Garmin Explore website. The Garmin Explore App will sync and store data from compatible Garmin devices in the field without a cellular data connection.

Note: Activities that do not have GPS information saved to them will not sync with the Explore App but should sync to Garmin Connect through the Garmin Connect Mobile App.
