Looking at the screenshot you made they not following the standard topografix schematic.
You can see that the symbol name is in extensions.
OSMAnd does not export a <sym> tag, right. However, as they refer to a namespace/schema (xmlns:osmand), its extension complies with Topografic's GPX Spec.
Storing data in an individual extension is a clever way to keep and share information within an ecosystem. If this GPX is re-imported into OSMAnd, the category (and symbol) will be restored.
I agree, that is also what other applications do.
But as MRA is a platform that is used by a lot of other navigations app, I do not think you would look for an platform specific schema.
Osmand pulls the POI from OSM and that is one way to do it.
On the other hand I like the MRA solution better. If they can safe the symbol by export ( and import) this will be an huge improvement.
What do you mean by "the GPX"? Any other app?
Yes
