Hi Mike,
The GPX format has a short list of allowed field names . So either you have to
convert all your fields to fit that list, or you can use gpx extensions and it
will allow you to use your designated names. Depending on where you want to
transfer the GPX file to, your device may not be able to understand the
extension fields. So converting the fields names to may be your best choice.
You can use the "Export POI" plugin if you are exporting points. You can ignore
the "Category" input, unless you want to split your file into multiple files
depending on the value in the "Category" field. You want to set it to export
three of your fields to the gpx fields: "name", Description "desc", and Comment
"cmt". If you have more fields you should try combining them with the field
calculator and then use the POI Exporter.
If you want to try gpx extensions you can scroll down in the QGIS "Export" GPX
dialog, near the bottom in the "Datasource Options" you should change
"GPX_USE_EXTENSIONS" to "yes".
There may be other plugins that others can tell you about.

Greetings,
I get the following error when I try to export .shp to .gpx.
I do not understand what is meant by "Use GPX_USE_EXTENSIONS creation
option..."
Can any help with this?
Thanks,
WV-Mike
