Custom Course Points showing up during ride, but without the text!

Hi!

I've been adding a few Course Points to my courses from Garmin Connect Web, and during the rides they show up, but the associated texts are not displayed. I am pretty annoyed because in the web interface it is clearly possible to add a few characters text to the Course Points (such as "shortcut to the left" or "(water) behind the church"), but they don't appear during the ride (only the sound alert, the banner and the icon show up). Without the text, they are pretty much useless for me, though...

Is this a bug? Do you experience the same? How to fix? I haven't found anyone reporting this particular issue on the forum yet.

Thanks for your consideration!

It is a design limitation of the course point pop-up.

You could add distance to Next and Location at Next to a training page and then you will see how far away the next course point is and if it does have a description you will see it.

It's an unfortunate limitation then because there is clearly enough room on the banner to append a line of text without changing the size of it whatsoever. (I hope that a developer will read this and fix it!! I would be so grateful!)

You mean that the field "location at next" would contain the Course Point's text description?

Correct. If it has one.

Hi, how you did it? When I add Course Points in GC app and then export the Course to the device, it's not showing up in the device at all during rides...
