Bypassing the maximum number of courses (30) with activities

I am planning a trip that has 42+ segments. The F5 being limited to 30 courses, I was wondering if it is possible to save/edit a course as an activity that would then be navigated?

I am able to push .FIT from my Connect to the F5. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to trick Garmin into thinking that a converted gpx/kml file is an activity.

Pointers greatly appreciated.

Can you just combine some of the segments, such as Monday+Tuesday? If you are using coursepoints then you'll run out of the 50 max sooner. If you'll have a phone with you then you might see about storing the courses on your phone in 2 different collections (first 21, second 21+) and then switch collections halfway through. if you want to continue the Activity path, then you'll at least need to have timestamps on the trackpoints and convert to FIT, this is a tool that would do that https://gotoes.org/strava/Add_Timestamps_To_GPX.php but to export the GPX as FIT is a premium feature.

Thanks for your input.

Yes, the simpler solution is to have (extra) courses stored on my phone and to push them on the watch as needed.
