This is a bug not really a feature request i think.
Intended behaviour : Courses Created in GCM or GC, either via import from GPX or hand drawn and later sprinkled with coursepoints to transfer to the watch (wirelessly via bluetooth) to have the coursepoints listed and available for navigation. (fields like Wpt next / ETE to Next / Dist to Next works properly)
Actual Behaviour : Courses w/ coursepoints gets transferred to Watch but the navigational fields are empty.
Findings :
1) Courses created in GC or GCM and have been added Coursepoints does not show up on watch once transferred wirelessly
2) Said courses exported out into GPX file, upon viewing, the coursepoints are indeed in the file.
2.1) The GPX file placed into NEWFILES, will have the coursepoints get interpreted by the watch (F5x+) as POIs and are present on the watch as "saved locations"
2.2) Upon using that course for routing, the map will show the POIs on the watch map.
2.3) Dist to Next / Wpt Next continues to be Blank
3) Said course exported into FIT file, upon viewing (fit to csv) does show the coursepoints are in the file
3.1) The FIT file is placed into NEWFILES will have the coursepoints interpreted as it should be. (these coursepoints will not be present as "saved locations" on the watch)
3.2) Upon using the course for routing, the map will show the coursepoints on the watch map
3.3) Dist to Next / Wpt Next Works as it is intended to be
Somehow the key to get coursepoints to work on the garmin (in this case, the F5x+) is to export the file and then paste them into NEWFILES
Transferring wirelessly does not work. _why_?
