Getting all these to sync properly is a maddening exercise in frustration. I start with loading some tracks and waypoints to my Montana 700 using Basecamp. This then syncs to Garmin Connect on my phone. Don't get me started on the Connect Web or InReach. It starts off fine, but after a few syncs I end up with duplicate, triplicate and sometimes quadruplicate waypoints on both my Montana 700 and Garmin Connect android app. Some have their full names, some have truncated names. The tracks are even worse. I've tried to keep the track names within the length that the 700 can handle (looks like 35 characters?) and they show up fine on Garmin Connect at first, but after a few syncs they are truncated to 10 or 15 characters and looks like they are randomly renumbered. For instance I have a through hike labeled Through Hike Day 01 2023-09-10 10:15, Through Hike Day 02 2023-09-11 09:01, etc. When they show up in Connect, the last few characters are truncated, so there seems to be a difference between the maximum track name length in the 700 and Connect. However I can edit them in Connect and add the missing characters on the end? Why does that work if the full name can't sync? And then after a couple of syncs they end up being renamed Hike 1, Hike 2, etc. and the 1 and 2 don't even correspond to the original order. This messes up the names in both Garmin Connect and the Montana 700. So I have to delete them all and load them from Basecamp to the 700 again and sync all over.
What am I doing wrong, or is this whole sync process complete garbage between the Montana, Garmin Connect, etc.?
