Garmin connect drops some waypoints from gpx

I have a gpx file made with Garmin mapsource. If I upload this gpx to Garmin Connect some of the waypoints are missing.

For example, this course misses some waypoints:

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/236135336

Waypoints 3N, 5B and 16A are missing and maybe some others. Problem can be seen in both the connect web version and android app.

original gpx-file is here:

https://hazor.iki.fi/2023/halloween/gpx.old/160km-halloween-hike-2023.gpx

I have a different version of the same gpx. This version has been stripped of symbols etc. and now it works:

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/236131998

and the gpx used for this course:

https://hazor.iki.fi/2023/halloween/gpx/160km-halloween-hike-2023.gpx

There seems to be a real bug here as the first gpx-file is just as legit as the last one. First is made with Garmin mapsource. Last one is my own modification of the first one.

  • actually even the better version breaks as the waypoint 5B is still missing there. This looks like a major bug. Same files work well in mapsource and basecamp and in my all other software.
