Gpx sync between EXPORER 4 and GPSMAP 66 ST fails.

Gpx sync from new Explorer version 4 to GPSMAP 66 st fails. With the new Explorer version 4, a gpx track sync from Explorer to device fails, the waypoints are synced however. General Sync status is ok, so the connection between Ipad mini 5 and GPSMAP 66 st over Bluetooth is working. Only when an imported track into Explorer is synced to the 66 st, the sync status in Explorer will show fail (in red). Is this a bug in Explorer or do I need to do something??

How was the track created? By default, tracks created in the field will not sync to other devices or the Garmin Explore app. Tracks can be converted if they need to be synced to other devices. For more information…

While it's unlikely that your track exceeds this limitation, please also be aware that there is a limitation of 20,000 points per track. User Data Limitations of the GPSMAP 66 Series

The tracks were downloaded from a hiking website. Just by coincidence I picked a gpx file that did not sync to the 66st. It is the first time this ever happened. Today an other gpx did sync from the Ipad /explore to my 66st. This proves that there is nothing wrong with Explorer on IOS. Thanks for the answer!
