I ran into the silent 100 course limit again the other day I just want to rant about it (again) in the hopes that someone from Garmin might actually take notice.
This limit is perhaps one of the most egregiously lazy things I've ever seen in a device of this type.
-
The fact that a device with 32GB of storage has a 100 course limit is almost laughable. All 100 courses on my device take up 12.9MB of space. I'm 100% sure this is a constant somewhere in the code (probably COURSE_LIMIT = 100) that could be changed to 200 or 300 with likely zero impact. Not that I'm suggesting that as the long term fix, but 100 is just insanely low.
-
Even more amazing is that device makes no effort to show you the limit in any way. You don't get a 97/100 routes count at the top. No little red message or anything when you are close to filling it up. You don't get a message when you try to sync and you've hit the limit. Things just stop syncing with no explanation.
-
The device has no basic way to organize routes. Why can't I create at least one level of folders or possibly tags to make it easier to navigate the courses list? Honestly, this is probably why they set the limit to 100.
-
The fact that the routes only sync one way from Garmin Connect to the device means that everyone, eventually, will be in the situation where they have to delete the routes manually on the device if they don't have a computer and the knowhow to go into the courses folder. It baffles me that a route that synced from Garmin Connect isn't deleted when you remove it online. Or better yet, why not have a way to just flag the ones that you want on device at any given time, always leaving them in GC and letting you control which ones are on device at any given time.
I mean every single device seems to have a brand new UI (for no apparent reason).
Can we at least address the limits and route management at some point?
