Code samples are not in the language that Viking is written in.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
This definitely means Viking's 'Route Finder' tool is broken.
I highly recommend you use an OSM Route planning service directly that offers
the generation of GPX files.
Such as:
http://map.project-osrm.org/
or (UK only)
http://www.cyclestreets.net/
>From what I can tell, unfortunately GPSBabel doesn't support GeoJSON.
People seem to be using 'ogr2ogr' (http://www.gdal.org/ogr2ogr.html) eg:

> To solve the issue, many solutions can be imagined.
However for now it will be simply be removed/disabled until someone is
motivated enough to fix it / integrate with any other routing service.
