Hi Patrik,
Well extensions are what they are: undefined data structures. GPX and XML might make you think that all this is kind of standardized. In fact it's a bloated mess. The actual patch for tracks simply tries to interpret track extensions as floats and catches the exceptions if it fails. It's unable to save the track with extensions. I do not know how to handle unknown extension fields for waypoints. The only idea I have is to display a list of tags and values. But as far as am concerned I do not see the importance to spend work on it. Thus if you like to have it you have to send a patch. > > It would be great to have these extensions also visible withing QLandkarte > GT....

The export avoids extensions as much as possible, as unknown extensions upset some devices. If extensions ever get written they have to be written when using "Save Geo data". IMHO GPX is a bug by design. And as long as GPX does not actively define data concepts it will stay the messy pity that it is. It's not a concept to claim to be the standard but to wait for GPS vendors to establish their special solution with extensions. If I want to be standard I have to create solutions and concepts. Thus if you think you have a nice concept for extensions you are welcome to send a patch.
