Imported GPX file Waypoint Names

[Kerry Lebel]

Hi All,

I have a GPX file that I created that right now includes a track and 9 waypoints. When I import, the track looks just fine, but the names and descriptions of the waypoints are missing. When I import the file into Osmand or OnX it looks fine. Any thoughts?

A screenshot and the GPX file are located here.

What routing software did you use to create the GPX?

I think your issue may be an unusual formatted GPX file, each track & waypoint element content in your file contains the term "ns0", ns=name space
Unless the software you are uploading the GPX to can interpret the "ns0" term then things look like they go a bit pear shaped. Appears Osmand can cope with the term but not MRA

As the "ns0" term is not one I am used to seeing in a GPX file I stripped it out using this xml converter & the resulting track & points loaded correctly into MRA web planner

@Brian McG Those tracks are from a ride I personally rode and recorded, so they ended up living in Garmin Explore and OsmAnd. The waypoints were provided by the event organizer.

My goal was to upload one GPX that includes both the recorded track and the waypoints, then use that as the starting point to build a shareable route for others in MyRouteApp. After more testing, it looks like the import can handle either a GPX with only a track, or a GPX with only a route plus waypoints, but not a GPX that contains both a track and waypoints. When both are present, it brings in the coordinates but strips the waypoint names and details.

This was a 10 day ride with over 100 waypoints, so retyping all the waypoint names and descriptions manually is not a realistic option.
