This should hopefully be a simple issue to solve, but when loading a GC created course on the 5+, I'm not seeing any of the waypoint data that was added to the route within GC. This obviously makes it a little hard to navigate to camp sites and water sources along the way.
Am I missing an obvious setting that I haven't been able to find in the docs, or is the way simply unable to render the waypoint data?
I also found out using https://eur.inreach.garmin.com/ and the Garmin Explore app did the same! I wondered about your terminology - but hey if it works!
GE doesn't snap to trails like GC does, plus you're building your course, turn by turn on a small screen. This can be horrendously tedious if you're trying to plot out a winding course of a decent length…
I've realised that I've made a mistake in the terminology, confusing course-points with way-points. The course created within GC had a number of water and camp locations that were defined as course points, and these were what was failing to display on the 5+'s map.
I've been able to import the course into Garmin Explore and add the waypoints which are now displaying on the watch - effectively satisfying my requirement. The process is a little convoluted, but it does work.
Create course in GC -> Sync to watch -> Sync watch Garmin Explore -> Add waypoints in Garmin Explore -> Sync Garmin Explore to watch
I'll leaving the deep-diving of the watches failure to display the GC created course points for another day.
