You have to import the gpx as an activity in Connect then create a course from that activity, then delete the activity. The course can then be sent to the watch (I presume, I don't own a 235)

The 235 as supplied by Garmin has no navigation facility, apart from the very basic Return to Start which just shows distance and direction back to start of activity. Which app do you have, and do you recommend it ?

You plan the route on the website and then save it to the watch. Open up the app when you want to run the route and there is a line you can follow on the route map. Search for dwmap in the connectIQ store.
