It is easy build a route. Via points and shaping points are clearly identified and it is easy to switch between them.  The ability to export the route in various formats is great.</p>
<p dir="auto">MRA currently has the ability to export a gpx file containing the route, and/or a track generated from the route.  Both are useful.<br />
For route export, it offers both the gpx 1.1 variant which includes via and shaing points and the gpx 1.2 variant which includes via points and route point extensions.</p>
<h2>Enhancement Suggestions:</h2>
<p dir="auto">It would be helpful to have additional options to include:</p>
<ul>
<li>via points, shaping points, <strong>and</strong> route point extensions in the exported route.</li>
<li>only via points in the exported route.</li>
<li>gpx waypoints (e.g. &lt;wpt lat="44.006372485309839" lon="-71.242526555433869"&gt; ... &lt;/wpt&gt; ) generated from the via and, optionally, shaping points.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Clarifications:</h2>
<p dir="auto">The current gpx export interface has checkboxes to include:</p>
<ul>
<li>"Route (waypoints)" but does not actually export any <strong>gpx</strong> waypoints. (It does export via and shaping points which, outside of gpx, are sometimes reffered to as waypoints.)</li>
<li>"POIs" but the gpx format does not support POIs (they go in gpi files).</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Although the export interface offers the variant "GPX 1.2", it actually writes a gpx 1.1 formatted file (&lt;gpx version="1.1" creator="MyRoute-app" ...)  As far as I know, there is no published gpx 1.2 standard.</p>
<h2>Interface thought</h2>
<p dir="auto">The export interface under Format GPX might be enhanced to something like (with checkboxes):</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Export Route containing Via points<br />
--- Also include Shaping points in the Route<br />
--- Also include Route Point Extensions in the Route</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Export Track generated from the Route</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Export GPX Waypoints generated from the Via points<br />
--- Also export GPX Waypoints generated from the Shaping points<br />
(It would probably make sense to write all gpx Waypoints in route order.)</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">BTW: The "Human-readable (pretty-printed)" option is very helpful.</p>
