Re: Track names are shown wrongly in archive
If I may ask, did you reported that issue too?

Re: Track names are shown wrongly in archive
I am still researching this issue, as I suspect this is actually a limitation of BaseCamp being old and not updated while the Montana is much newer.
Most of the current Garmin GPSr were updated recently to prohibit using certain characters in track/activity names to resolve another issue, and this included the "." amongst others.
Now they need to update BaseCamp to also not allow the use of these same characters, or, leave it as is, and let the device 'substitute' with a default valid character to replace the "." when present.

Re: Track names are shown wrongly in archive
Could you tell me more? Which issue is supposed to be fixed here?
I am not sure, what Garmin will do. The last info, they replied to me, if they will be able to replicate, they will open a ticket. Nothing more heared.

Re: Track names are shown wrongly in archive
For some background information, see this Garmin GPSMAP 66i Forum post.
Also, read the second to last line in the firmware 5.30 change log at GPSrChive > Montana 7x0 > Firmware, or this GPSrChive Forum Post.
Only thing that matters is that those characters are not valid for use with track names (on the device), and when importing tracks that have them, these devices will substitute another character for them.

Re: Track names are shown wrongly in archive
Well okay, but this was changed long ago, so clearly, this is something different, as otherwise, the archived tracks have been shown already different in older firmware versions, which was not the case.gpsrchive wrote: ↑Thu Aug 12, 2021 11:25 pm For some background information, see this Garmin GPSMAP 66i Forum post.

Re: Track names are shown wrongly in archive
Based on the latest answer from Garmin, this is supposed to be correct, as this would be related to automatic/manual save of tracks. Tbh, I don't understand that, what they exactly mean.

Re: Track names are shown wrongly in archive
It seems, the change it not fully done. While you cannot save a new track with a dot in name, you can still rename it afterwards to have a dot in name.
