RE: POIs Automatically Reassigned to Primary Collection on GPSMAP 66r After Restart

No, I am referring to POI's. In the explorer app I load a gpx file with a track an POI's (points of interest in the area of the track). That collection is given a name in the app and synced with my GPSMAP 66sr. So far all good. I close the app and switch off the device only after checking if all is synced well. At a certain point I would have 10-15 collections in the app and they all have their own POIs. The next time when I switch on the device and/or open the app 90% of those POIs are reassigned to the primary collection (I do not use the sync all, but only sync designated collections, hence the use of a primary collection is necessary). In the app I can see the number of POIs in a collection go down and the number of POIs in the primary collection go up. There is no action from my site in this except switching on the device and/or the app. I do not want to reassign POIs (although I know how to) but is simply happens.
See the file: The primary collection (AAPrimair) has 200 POI's, which were originally uploaded in one of the other collections by gpx file.

There is no functionality in the Garmin Explore app for assigning POIs to collections. Are you referring to waypoints?

We have not been able to reproduce the issue you are describing. Are we understanding you correctly to say that you are using the Garmin Explore app to reassign waypoints from one collection to another but that, after closing and re-opening the app, the waypoints are no longer in the new collection but have reappeared in the original collection? If so, could you give the exact steps you are taking to reassign the waypoints from one collection to another?
