Re: [Qgis-user] Converting to shp to gpx. Doesn't work normal with "Save, as..."
Hi Alex, I often too have to transform gpx files to or from sh files and I never managed to make it work properly with qgis (sorry that's not very constructive, but that's a fact). After reading some of the answers you got, I re-tested it and I still cannot create a file with qgis version 2.18.4 which can open with basecamp or mapsource, both refuse to open it. Notepad++ shows an xml file (sh file saved as a gpx). I don't know what is wrong. Happy to help and test further but i have no idea how. My (quick and personal) workaround is to use dnrgps. It's a free little tool which does the trick.

Hi Alex, did you have at the resulting GPX file usiang a texteditor (e.g. notepad++). While GPX is somehow xml it is quite simple to see if there are any unusual things in it (or if the file is empty).

Re: [Qgis-user] Converting to shp to gpx. Doesn't work normal with "Save as..."
I hate answers like the one I'm about to give - but you might want to upgrade to at least 2.14 or 2.18 - the "save as" to GPX works really well in those versions - and I use it with Garmin GPS units all the time. It seems like that at 2.12 you were still setting options in the "Save As" Dialog. On 03/15/2017 12:37 PM, alex lopez wrote: Hi all, First of all, I am basic users. I am using Qgis 2.12.3-Lyon.
