Course Points (not) supported in Fenix 5

nwillink

Does anyone know which course points are not supported on a Fenix5?

Apart from turn (sharp) Left/Right , bear left/right , Uturn, food, water, course completed  no other coursepoints out of the possible  25 , in my experience, are triggered,buzzed.

Their labels do appear on my Fenix map.

I have created variuous fit files containing course points like left/right fork,straight ahead,Danger,Firts Aid, but none of them are used it seems.

    After creating varous coursepoints along a narrow and fairly straight path and creating my own fit files  I'm getting better hits .

    I now realise that Fenix will show all 26 different coursepoints,:some are icons , some encircled with a letter or number, ie Sprint is a circle with a S in the middle,third category is an encircled 3.

    Correction. It ignores Start of Segment either as an instruction or a map caption, unlike End of Segment which is a F1 finish flag.

    Generic course points are also ignored,which is a shame as they would be ideally suited to mark  1/4,1/2 3/4 way points
