What is the maximum size of a course name (number of digits?)

What is the maximum length (number of digits) that a course name can be to properly load if pinned in Garmin Connect.

I have found that Ride with GPS Courses with long titles will not show up in my in my Edge Explorer 2 "Last Course Added" when pinned in Garmin Connect.

Example:

Stonelick Lake Beach to Mount Orab‘s country Inn restaurant. will not show up in when pinned in Garmin Connect

When the course name is changed to: Stonelick SP to Mt Orab+Country Inn it WILL show up when pinned in Garmin Connect

So including spaces this course name has a few chacteres more than quantity 50. Stonelick Lake Beach to Mount Orab‘s country Inn restaurant.

I'll try to get my "wordy" friends to keep this in mind the next time they title a course in RWGPS.

Hoping this is the fix.

Thanks
