Cannot sync course with course points to GPSMAP H1

Interesting issue with Garmin Explore iOS (version 4.11) and my GPSMAP H1 (with firmware 7.07).

When I create a course in Garmin Explore app, add named course points to that course and then sync, the created course does not show up on the H1 in the Saved Data app.

If I instead try to navigate the course (by selecting the course and pressing the Navigate button with by H1 paired), a message appears that the course is synced to the device. But after a couple of seconds an error message appears in Explore that synchronization has failed.

When I create a course without named course points, the course shows up on the H1 after a sync of my library.

Anyone else seeing this as well?

I could only get the course to sync after changing its name. Just changing the name or icons of course points didn't work.

That happens to me too. But when you change the icon and the name of the course point, the course syncs without a problem. It also syncs without a problem, when there are already other course points in the course, which are made from waypoints or poi from the map.

Have you removed the Explore app and reinstalled it to see if that changes anything?

Hi Garmin - SP , thanks for your reply.

I did a new test after removing the Explore app and reinstalling it. I created a course and changed the name and icon of two course points while creating the course, and this course synced correctly. I also created a second course and changed the name and icon of two course points after saving the course in Explore app, and this also synced correctly.

So unsure now what caused the original issue. I've encountered it a couple of times in the past, but not sure what exact sequence of actions triggers the issue. Not really looking forward to uninstall and reinstalling every time I encounter issues like this, does not seem really confidence inspiring.
