All My Courses Just Got Made Public!

I've got over 300 courses that I've created in Garmin Connect, all of which start and end at my front door and all of which have got arbitrary, though still what I consider private, names. And now I discover that Garmin has decided to make all of these courses public. WTF Garmin? So I now need to go into each and every one of them and change them to private? And I need to remember to set every new course I make to private? Even the 'privacy zone' feature you've got hidden away in settings only works on activities and not courses.

Can you tell me what other of my personal stuff you're going to make accessible to the world and his dog without telling me in the near future?

If you've ever created a course in Garmin Connect, be aware that it'll now be viewable by anyone.

Did you change any settings to make this change? I'd love for all my courses to be private.

I feel like some of my courses have changed from being public to arbitrarily turning private, which is super annoying.

My typical use case for courses is to draft something and send to a friend to see what they think. There used to be a setting to make all courses public, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

It's super annoying sending a course to a friend only to have them say the course is private. I need to change the privacy settings (which has occasionally not-worked) and reply back. It's a huge waste of everyone's time.
