For information, Fenix 6 can display a coursepoint name up to 15 characters max. Would it be possible for the fit generating library to take the coursepoint name form the <notes> field (truncated to 15 characters) instead of the <name> field when converting from tcx?

Interestingly, we can see from using the new Garmin API, that coursepoint names are truncated to 14 characters by Garmin when routes are transferred to Garmin Connect, so we could probably safely increase the length of coursepoint names in FIT files from the current 10 characters to 14 characters - we'll add this to our To Do list. It doesn't make any difference whether it comes from the name tag or the notes tag when converting from TCX though, as both are extracted from the directions text of your route.

Was out yesterday and noticed that this has been updated. Great stuff.
Think I've found a small bug though. It appears that if the coursepoint name has more than 1 space, it is being truncated to before the second space regardless of the amount of characters. Coursepoints with 1 or no spaces seem to display the full 14 characters.
https://www.plotaroute.com/route/997783 as an example.

The truncation happens because our download process tries to avoid splitting words if possible e.g. leaving one trailing character at the end. However, maybe it would be better to just simply use the full 14 characters - we'll have a look at changing this.

I think Strava Heat Maps deserves a mention on the Ten Great Route Planning Tools For Cyclists page. (I don't know why this comment is showing up on Label text into the name tag by file type export.)

Thanks Paul. We've corrected the link from this guide. The guide was about features on Plotaroute though - we don't tend to promote our competitors!
