I'll create a GPX tracks for my watch (Suunto Vertical) anytime I'm running in a new area/new trails. Part of the reason is so that I can gain a more accurate distance measure (and elevation gain) along with on map navigation. For Suunto, you can create a GPX map directly in the app and once saved, it'll default to syncing on the watch. Then, just before I start an activity, I can select my navigation route and go! Nice long run at Buffalo Creak. Looked like a a great time despite the lack of energy for the last 4 miles.

Can 165 create courses ?
