I'm travelling to Italy next week and as well as not having a laptop won't have always access to Internet.
Any suggestions on how to take pre mapped courses with me? I was thinking I could load them on to a flash drive and transfer them at an Internet cafe rather than using Connect. I've tried using connect in the past but you have to have the communicator installed.
Thanks

One thing I didn't think of was what to do with video from my Virb.
Does anyone know if it is possible to copy files from the sd card to an online storage without losing data? If so what is the best place to upload to?

Do you have a tablet or phone with an SD slot, or OTG capability?
Might be able to transfer from VIRB=>Phone/tablet=>hotel wifi=>google drive
Or just store it locally on the phone/tablet if you have sufficient space.
I'd avoid using normal mobile network, as those video files are monsters! (Takes a good few minutes per file using the wifi on my gopro to transfer to my PC, and that's a Gigabit network, and the camera ~10cm from the WiFi router!)
Network charges would be astronomic.

Just an iPhone. I do have access to Internet at a couple of Internet cafes so google drive may be the way ?

Sounds like it may well be an option, you can also do OTG on an iPhone. So if you have hotel wifi, that's another option.
Just need an adaptor.
Also, does the Virb app not allow you to transfer from Camera=>phone, then move the file to google drive manually?

What I do is I usually save the routes onto my Garmin Connect account, then just send it to the device when I'm going to ride (assuming you have one that can connect to your phone - 510/520/810/1000).
