Hi Moritz it's hard to convert a track into a route as there is no rule how to do it, nor any common format that guarantees that the route will be the same as the track. In fact the GPX specification is as lousy as it can be, defining just the bare minimum.
That is why Garmin added a whole heap of GPX extensions within the route tag. With these tags it is possible to force the newer devices to do exactly the same routing as derived on the PC. If that information is missing the device will calculate a route based on the waypoints in the route definition and it's own internal map. And as an evil behaving industrial player they choose to obscure their control data by using hashes instead of clear text information. In other words they can do it with Basecamp. We can't. Concerning heart rate and other stuff: I have no device capable to create such data. Nor do I really know why I want to know that stuff or how to present that data nicely. In QLandkarte GT some one (Marc?) added some support for Garmin's *tcx format. It was just an idea, probably was never used and badly done. --> If you want it, you have to implement it.
