Distance/turn limits when using turn notification navigation?

Every turn notification you get is a so called course point.

The maximum number of course points on my previous watch, a forerunner 935, was ridiculous low with 50 and I was hoping garmin had increased this.

But so far I only found this info: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=aisqGZTLwH5LvbExSdO6L6

This indicated that bike computers have a limit of 200 and all watches have a limit of 50. 

This is so stupid. 50 is way too low and you run into trouble with a simple long run or anything close to a decent bike ride. 

Like I said before, my new 965 is a replacement for my 935 but nowhere near an upgrade. In 6 years time garmin added a lot of bs to their watches and few useful things.

That is really annoying indeed. I don't see why it's such a low and artificial limit. I'd have thought that even the limited hardware of a watch would not have any issues with multiples of those limits.

I can only think of 2 reasons

1. gamin wants to buy more garmin devices and forces you into a bike computer. (Although any half decent long runs also suffers from this limit. 

2. Garmin doesn’t give a damn about usefulness of features. Only the quantity of features is important, not the quality  

Personally, I think 2. 

3. Garmin made some poor choices many years ago when 50 way-points sounded like more than enough, and wrote their code in a way that makes it hard to extend (e.g. by baking the 50 limit into the fit-file specification, which makes it *very* hard to change as so many people/tools/websites rely on being able to parse these).

But I agree that 50 is too low and I agree that this is a tech debt that they must address asap, even if it is hard.

Possible but unlikely, since the edge bike computers have a limit of 200.

There once might be a valid reason to limit it, probably  memory, but that isn’t valid anymore. Garmin just couldn’t be bothered changing this hard coded limit. 

I was not even cycling, just an ultra-run which I feel does fit in the target audience of this watch.

I'll have to learn to live with the limit for now, too bad. They really should get rid of silly artificial limits like that, that especially with newer hardware, do not make any sense anymore.
