So if I use the Navigate function of my Garmin to follow a course so that I can use the Climb Pro function, does it also track the whole ride that it downloads to strava that I did the course? Curious more than anything, and I can't find an answer anywhere. I normally don't use the Navigate function but saw the climb pro has to be used in Navigation function. Anyone know for sure?

Yes, it'll record the ride while navigating, as long as you start and stop your ride, per usual. You can also exit nav while recording a ride without affecting the ride. IOW, once you're done with your climbs, you can exit nav and finish the ride without having to listen to it beeping at you for every turn.

Navigation is separate from a ride track. You can start and stop recording any ride, save it to Connect, Strava, etc..... Navigation is a separate function and you can choose to only navigate a route (or Course as Garmin calls it) and not record the track of a ride.

As long as you start and end the ride, like normal, it'll record and go to Strava. You can start navigation before you start the ride, or at any point, if you do it before starting the ride it may look slightly different to normal. You'll also have more data pages than normal, but you can scroll through them as always. You can make sure it's recording by going to whatever page you have the ride time on and making sure that works as usual.

Climb Pro (I hate that feature name) requires you to be in navigation mode because otherwise it doesn't know what you're planning to do. 🙂

Recording the ride is separate from navigation.

Strava (or any thing else) just uses the file created when recording the ride.

Climbpro requires using a course file (or, using navigation, in other words).

Is Garmin Navigate a product or are you just saying when you use the navigation features of your Garmin device?

Knowing what you have might better help get you better information. Older Garmin devices don't automatically send their stuff to Garmin Connect to get transferred to Strava. And regardless, you have to specifically enable the transfer of your data to Strava and other places .

Everyone else was able to figure this out from the context.

I was trying to be more polite. Unlike you that seems to only want to mock other people that respond in ways you don't approve of.

The polite thing when a person is asking for information you don't have, is not to add confusion. You should try it!
