Re: POI improvements!
I would like to see the name of the POI symbol included in the GPX export.
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.
I am talking about the symbol name not the description name.

GPX from MRA with only the name:

As the POI's in MRA already have different symbols, they have a symbol name, for example "Restaurant". These names are not transferred into the GPX file. As a result the GPX parser will use the default symbol when read by any other program following the topografix standard.
As the symbol is already present in MRA my request is to put it into the GPX exporter from MRA.
(I know it depends on what the GPX importer can read, but "Bar", "Hotel" and "Museum" will be in any Navigation program. Symbols not know will get the standard symbol by default.
*Symbol name added to the GPX file: *

Example:
the following route from the Routelab:
https://www.myrouteapp.com/nl/social/route/10375140?mode=share

Exported GPX from MRA: all the POI's have the same symbol:

The same route imported with the symbol name added into the GPX:

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.
I am not talking about responsibilities, I only make an improvement request, it is on the developer team to take it into account or leave is as it is. As it is already in the MRA database and the Topografix scheme, it will be " low hanging fruit" to implement I presume.
