Track colors are not honored from BaseCamp [Bug 73]

Unread post by ConiKost »

If I do set custom colors (e.g. red, black, ..) for tracks in Basecamp and trasfer those tracks, the color is not being honored by Montana. Instead, if defaults back to the grey color.

I would expect, that this should be automatically set, as the GPX track file includes:
<gpxx:DisplayColor>$COLOR</gpxx:DisplayColor>
Setting color manually afterwards works, of course, fine.

Is this, again, a garmin limitation or bug?
Using firmware 9.20.

Just tested, my 276Cx does honor those colors.

Garmin replied and said, they forwarded this to their engineers.
