I do sometimes wonder about the decision-making processes at Garmin HQ. I can imagine the following discussion taking place:
"So, what colour are the roads going to be on the maps?"
"How about purple?"
"Purple? Love it! Purple it is. And what colour are we going to make the saved course shown on the maps. Obviously we want it to be easily distinguishable from other roads shown on the map."
"How about a very, very slightly lighter shade of purple?"
"Genius! Let's go with that. Presumably we'd allow users to change the default very-slightly-lighter-shade-of-purple colour?"
"Well, of course, the user is always right."
"And presumably that would apply universally to every course once the user had changed it?"
"Oh no, we'd make them change it for each course individually."
"Ah yes, stupid me, that's obviously better."
I can think of no other explanation.
