  I have successfully verified the list of supported types when downloading a FIT file, in the FIT file itself, and using the FIT SDK in the Android app I'm working on.

  Thank you so much for the prompt implementation and Peter for testing and visualization! Simply amazing.

  In terms of Garmin device support, I discovered that my Fenix 6s Pro (v23.00) does not display symbols for the new course point types introduced this year with the Fenix 7. (I will raise this with Garmin, hopefully they'll add support to a future firmware version.) Still, the new expanded support by plotaroute is very valuable for me, since I'm working on a CIQ app that displays waypoints and here I support all course point types.

  That's great, thanks Peter.

  Thank you so much. This is what it looks like now from your list:

  Thanks Peter, that's very interesting to see the Epix symbols. We'll look into the ones that aren't working.

  This is so great!

  I did some testing on a long run today. Not all of the new ones are working for me. I will look into it further, but this is how the symbols are visualized in the up-ahead feature on my Garmin Epix.

  Thanks,

  Did you see the diff on dist markers beween fit type 30 and 34?

  We've just implemented this Peter. Here's the latest list. The "Info" PointType should hopefully now be fixed too.

  Perfect, thanks.

  Just in time Peter! Most of those look straightfoward. Not sure about one or two of them - T for tunnel for example, as people could be using that for other purposes, so displaying a tunnel symbol might not be appropriate. We'll add in as many as we can.
