[CA] [CA11] Route Name Max Number of Characters

[Alaskan Sea-Duction]

I have an eS127 with LH II

I do my Route planning with Coastal Explorer on a laptop. I then save it as a GPX file and import it to my eS127. two issues:

1. The route name is renamed "route" (then a number) ex: Route 36. It does not import the name I gave it.

2. When I attempt to rename it on my MFD, it only allows 16 characters. The actual space provided would lead you to believe it should accept many more characters.

Is there a way to increase the number of characters?

Thank you

Tom
