I was curious so I looked at the differences between osmand gpx-files and other gpx files.
I created a short route in OsmAnd with three intermediate points and a destination point. I calculated the route between points and saved the file to osmand.gpx I created almost the same route on myRouteApp.com and saved the files to myrouteapp.gpx Then I imported the file myrouteapp.gpx into OsmAnd, calculated the route between points and saved it to importedmyrouteapp.gpx. So there are three files: – osmand.gpx: a shortroute that is created in OsmAnd with 4 waypoints – myrouteapp.gpx: almost the same route created on MyRouteApp.com – importedmyrouteapp.gpx: the imported and saved route. There are three sections in each gpx file: <trk> = track information; <rte> = route information and <wpt> = waypoint information osmand.gpx: – gpx version 1.1 -<trk>: many trackpoints including elevation information -<rte>: navigaton messages. -<wpt> 4 destination waypoints myrouteapp.gpx: – gpx version 1.1 <trk>: many trackpoints, elevation is allways 0.00 <rte>: 2 via-ponts (start and finish) 3 shaping points <wpt>: not present importedrouteapp.gpx: – gpx version 1.1 <trk>: many trackpoint, elevation information is added <rte> navigation messages <wpt> one waypoint (finish) It is obvious that the files are very different. OsmAnd uses the <rte> section for navigation messages and stores the routing points in the <wpt> section. MyRouteApp stores the routing points in the <rte> section. The starting point is not stored in OsmAnd but is stored in MyRouteApp. After importing the myrouteapp.gpx file. OsmAnd recognized the via-points and shaping points in the <rte> section and uses them to calculate a route. I find it strange that I cannot see the via-points and shaping points in the file importedmyrouteapp.gpx No wonder that there are problems with navigating imported gpx-files. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
