Importing a GPX file
-
As a longtime Garmin Basecamp user, I sometimes have an issue understanding the way MRA Routeplanner works. When using Basecamp, if I import a GPX file into a folder, I will see in that folder the Waypoints (or POIs), Routes and Tracks. provided each type exists.
Within the MRA Routeplanner, is it possible to do something similar in one step? Or do I need to do this in three separate steps? ie- Import Route
- Import Track
- POI --> Library --> Add

Yes, if you need the route as well as the track or POI when those are available in the GPX, it will be separate steps indeed. They also remain separate items after import (not linked to each other).

The issue really isn't "need", but not knowing what is actually in the GPX file. So, if someone sends you a GPX file or maybe you download a GPX file from a link provided in a magazine article or a website, as a "best practices", one needs to actually execute the above three steps in post 1 when one isn't aware what actually is in the GPX file?

Indeed, it currently is "trial and error".
