Exporting GPX

[Matjaz Valjavec]

Hi, I just become a beta member, so I tested how exporting GPX files to my Garmin XT works. I tried to make an export via Windows connector and got best results in terms of route alignment to track with GPX version 1.2. The alignment was exact, just perfect. When using GPX 1.1. there is a significant deviation in Garmin calculation. So I thought I will use version 1.2. However there is no version 1.2 option available when downloading GPX file to computer, version 1.2 option exists only in Windows connector. Will this change? There is no problem when I plan routes at home on my desktop, but while on the trip, I use my android phone or android tablet to fine tune routes, and then send files to Garmin via Garmin drive.

This is test route: https://beta.myrouteapp.com/routes/7e7864eb-62b7-448e-b7a9-7791c66f1e22/test-route

Best regards,
Matjaž

@Matjaz-Valjavec as far as I understand using the Drive app for XT1 from Android devices is no problem so you can use that option whilst on the road

@Marinus-van-Deudekom Drive app is not a problem - export of GPX file from MRA in version 1.2 is the problem - it does not exist.

Good news: the website already has GPX 1.2, it just had a different name. When you download, choose GPX as the format, then under "Device variant" choose "GPX 1.1 with road geometry (via points only)". That is exactly the same file as GPX 1.2 in the Connector.

We will rename the website option to "GPX 1.2 (via points with road geometry)" so it is easier to find, and the new name will appear with the next update.

@Corjan-Meijerink I know you are moving fast (very impressive how much you get done), but you had just changed the GPX 1.2 label to the more correct GPX 1.1. There is no such standard as GPX 1.2.
Maybe you could instead add something to indicate "formerly called 1.2")?
I'm sure the change from "1.2" is confusing to long time MRA users who are used to that designation, but making it correct is probably better in the long term. Something like this would provide maximum flexibilty.
