gpx 1.1 vs 1.2

@Andy-Beviere said in gpx 1.1 vs 1.2:

the unit changes the route between the via points

It's not the unit (XT2); the Tread app causes the problem.

GPX 1.2 is similar to the basecamp format: You have your VIA points, and the route segments in between are shaped with a lot of "hidden shaping points" (gpxx:rpt extensions):

When transferring a GPX 1.2 with USB to your XT2, these hidden points are preserved, but when using the Tread App, these points are filtered out.

So, for your case (XT2, transfer with Tread), GPX 1.1 is the only useful choice.

(By the way, it's not an issue with an XT(!), as the Drive App (not Tread) transfers the GPX to the unit, which preserves the hidden points).
