  Is this pdf what you are asking for? My cheat sheet:

  Fit File Course Point vs Plotaroute Symbols

  

• Patrick Renard Sunday 17 Mar 2024 17:49:54

  Hello Admins.

  Can you provide list of supported "Garmin coursepoints" (0 to 25 - list is just below) by plotaroute ?

  Thanks

  Hi admins,

  Three years on and I now see more matching symbol types between Plotaroute and Garmin Connect:

  • Information <-> Info
  • Toilets/Restroom <-> Toilet
  • Meeting Point <-> Meeting Spot
  • Viewpoint <-> Overview
  • Campsite <-> Campsite
  • Checkpoint <-> Checkpoint
  • Shop <-> Store
  • Information <-> Info
  • Marker <-> Distance Marker
  • Picnic site <-> Rest Area

  Is it possible to convert these symbols as well when syncing routes to Garmin Connect courses ?

  Thanks in advance!

  Great job of yours but I wish you have all ANTSDK course_points available.

  Great job of yours but I wish you have all ANTSDK course_points available.

  Also, my suggestion is Plotaroute to set which points would be a simple waypoint( when exporting as gpx and what would be a course_point(when exporting as .tcx or .fit) and not mix "Turn Arrow" and "Symbol" because if you use both the result is unpredictable. 

  That´s mainly because some devices like Fenix 5x only accepts 50 course_points. (to all: keep in mind that if you choose to set an advanced warning in a given distance that will double your actual number of cours_points in the file) so in my case I could only have 25.

   

  Type	Garmin	Plotaroute Symbol/Arrow
  generic	0	none	none
  summit	1	Mountain	none
  valley	2
  water	3	Drinking Water	none
  food	4	Food	none
  danger	5	Warning	none
  left	6	none	Left
  right	7	none	Right
  straight	8	None	Straight on
  first_aid	9	first_aid	none
  fourth_category	10
  third_category	11
  second_category	12
  first_category	13
  hors_category	14
  sprint	15	Runners	none
  left_fork	16
  right_fork	17

  Thanks John - such demonstrates also the useful suggestion by Rob Williams @ Tuesday 27 Aug 2019 13:37:41

  Thanks Willy - we'll look into this.

  Add a Waypoint precisely located on top of existing trackpoint by the Flag Icon. 

  @ tcx course export I expect the PointType "Generic". 

  But Plotaroute generates PointType "Straight". 

  (For manual adding a "Straight" = use turn Arrow Up).

  Thanks Rob, it might be something we can add in a future update.  My only concern is that flagging certain symbols in this way might cause confusion, as not everybody creates routes to download to TCX or FIT files.

  A belated "works well, thanks!"

  Can I flag again that it would be helpful if it was obvious from the symbol-picker popup which plotaroute symbols mapped to a valid coursepoint type? Either a different border, or an asterisk, or some kind of filter? 

  I know that's a very niche request, but so was this entire thread, so thought I'd chance my arm :)

  Tested this and it's working great. Thanks a lot.
