The Problem with Phone-Only Tracking
Pulling out your phone with frozen gloves on a sled or while skiing is impractical and dangerous.
Phone GPS drains battery faster and is less reliable than dedicated GPS watch hardware.
Missing the start of a run because you fumbled with your phone means losing valuable training data.
Your Watch, Your Training Hub
MushingPlan connects with your Garmin watch to give you hands-free control over your training sessions.
One-Tap Session Start
Start and stop GPS tracking directly from your Garmin watch with a single button press. No phone interaction needed — perfect for cold weather and active sports.
Live Session Metrics
View real-time speed, distance, duration, and heart rate on your watch face during training. Stay informed without breaking stride.
Automatic Data Sync
When your session ends, all watch data — GPS track, heart rate, and activity metrics — syncs automatically to MushingPlan. No cables, no manual uploads.
Dual Recording Backup
Run GPS on both your watch and phone for redundancy. If one device runs out of battery, the other keeps recording. Never lose a training session.
Watch Integration — FAQ
Which Garmin watches are supported?
MushingPlan supports Garmin watches with Connect IQ compatibility, including Fenix, Forerunner, Enduro, and Instinct series. The full compatibility list is available in the app settings.
Will Apple Watch be supported?
Apple Watch support is on the roadmap and planned for a future release. Garmin was prioritized because it's the most popular watch brand among mushers due to its GPS accuracy and extreme weather durability.
Can I use the watch without my phone nearby?
Yes. Your Garmin watch records GPS data independently. The session will sync to MushingPlan when your watch and phone are back in Bluetooth range. This is ideal for leaving your phone in the sled bag.
Does the watch integration work offline?
Yes. The Garmin watch records all data locally, and MushingPlan syncs it when a connection is available. No internet is needed at any point during the training session.
