Courses is a feature included on newer Forerunner & Edge models that lets you create a course map that includes speed data from a past workout. You can directly compare your current workout with past performance as you travel along a saved course.
Because data from past workouts includes natural speed variations in response to turns and elevation changes, performance targets provided by the courses feature are more realistic than targets from Virtual Partner on Forerunner 201 / 301.
