Improvement request POI -> GPX

[BertM]

Re: POI improvements!

I would like to see the name of the POI symbol included in the GPX export.
For example "Summit", "Hotel", "Lodging" etc.
This according to the http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/ schematic
standard. This way, the POI symbols are not all provided with the standard symbol when importing into a navigation system.

Regards,
Bert

@BertM That cannot be the case because in a GPX export POI's won't be exported

I think you are wrong with this statement.

@BertM Just to be clear, the chosen icon and the given name of a POI can be seen when you tap it when navigating with MRA Navigation Next.

@BertM I présumée that you wanted to export a gpx file to be imported into a dedicated device. As long as you stay within MRA like on you picture there us no need to export anything

@Nick-Carthew

I am talking about GPX export, not the navigation app of MRA

This is not a picture of the MRA app, but a simple javascript app in the webbrowser

I do not understand you all revert the Next app, I have the app but also some other devices.

I want to use GPX to export to other devices, mountain biking is difficult with a tablet on the steering wheel.

POI exported from MRA is complete useless as the POI imported from a GPX file ALL have the same symbol.

I do not think that is is rocket sience for the programmer to include the symbol in the XML parser, and it will be a big improvement.

Not sure if I understand you right. But if I create a route and enter POI (no matter if included as Route Point, or just as POI). Then export it as gpx 1.1 (route, track, POI) and open the stored file by text editor. Now I can find the entered POI - inclusive the name I gave them during route planning.

If I import the file to my Garmin Nav, the POI will be visible as well as the route. If the transmitted name will be used by Garmin or other devices, that's not in the responsibility of MyRoute-App.
