Hi...thanks for the reply. These gpx files are offroad motorcycle routes through forests using fire roads and have been calculated for optimum scenery and types of riding not shortest route. They are used by many. Is there a way to turn off recalculate and ahhere to strict route on osmand? This is why I am testing lucust too now for this https://goo.gl/Y5XCN7
