Up Ahead shows only last 3 points.

Last Saturday I tried to use the "Up Ahead" feature for the first time on my F7 Pro. I started an "Ultra Run" activity with a course loaded. A dedicated data screen with "Up Ahead" shows up, just as expected, but this data screen shows only last 3 points (including finish), no matter where I am on the course. Am I doing something wrong? Is the list scrollable somehow? Shouldn't it show nearest upcomming points?

It sound almost like the GC GPX bug thats been around for a while. It was a couple of months since I heard about it and I don't know if it's solved.

When importing a precreated GPX to Garmin Connect, GC put all course points in the beginning of the file resulting in that all course points got passed immediately when starting the course.

Did you import a GPX to GC?

Yes, the course was imported from a gpx file. The original gpx file contained some course points, but later I added some more manually in garmin connect., and edited the names of the original course points.

Yup, it's clear now where the problem is, and fortunately there seems to be a feasible workaround. Thanks.
