gpx 1.1 vs 1.2

@Hans-van-de-Ven-MR-MRA
Hi Hans,
Many thanks for your reply but unfortunately in my-case this is incorrect, if I send a route from MRA to Tread and onto the XT2 over the air only the via points are shown and the unit changes the route between the via points, obviously this could be my error but believe me I’ve tried and tried…
Just to reiterate this is file transfer over the air and my issues are when the route is viewed on the unit not on MRA or Tread.
Thanks again,
Andy.

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).

Hi Martin yes totally agree, its when the route goes from the Tread app to the XT2…
Many thanks,
Andy.

Hi Andy,
Not sure if you have seen this earlier post from Steve Jarrell that really explains how 1.2 works and why he feels it is better to use than 1.1

Hope it helps
