Avenue doesn't render GPX files that plot a "route" (instead of a "track")
pvdb opened this issue · comments
Quite a lot of websites offer downloads of GPX files that plot so-called "routes" using the <rte> XML type:
<rte/>represents a route - an ordered list of waypoints representing a series of turn points leading to a destination
... instead of plotting so-called "tracks" using the <trk> XML type:
<trk/>represents a track - an ordered list of points describing a path
However, Avenue doesn't correctly render "routes" in GPX files. 😢
Opening the attached littlemill_rte.gpx file in Avenue results in:
After converting the "route" (<rte>) into a "track" (<trk> with a nested <trkseg>) opening the attached littlemill_trk.gpx file results in:
Considering how similar the two types of GPX files are, is there a specific reason Avenue can't render "routes" like it does "tracks"?
All online GPX viewers I've tested correctly render both littlemill_rte.gpx as well as littlemill_trk.gpx but that kinda defeats the purpose of installing Avenue for offline viewing of GPX files! 😅

However, Avenue doesn't correctly render "routes" in GPX files. 😢
Hi @pvdb,
It shouldn't be too hard to add routes support. I just didn't really bother since not many have requested the feature. Will come out with a build with route support by this week!
Hi @pvdb,
It was easier than I thought, please enjoy this beta here: https://github.com/vincentneo/Avenue-GPX-Viewer/releases/tag/1.4.1-b1
The distance doesn't update yet, but routes do show on the map, tested with the file you provided!
Cheers,
Vincent
