It could be discussed, if the name prefix for shaping points should be ‘FP’ for german variant ( Form punkt). So If I have added a 4th Waypoint with the name ‘Lunch’ in kurviger, the name in the GPX would be ‘WP4 Lunch’. Therefore I propose to add a hint at the routepoint name for that: For example ‘WP4’ for the 4th waypoint and a ‘FP7’ for the 7th shaping point. My personal opinion: I would like to be able to see also in navigation device the information, if a route point was a waypoint or a shaping point in kurviger, furthermore I would like to see the name given to a waypoint or a kurviger shaping point. my converter).įurthermore adding different symbols for this several point types will help on navigation devices which use the symbol tag () of route points and display it on the map. Nevertheless the symbol might be a way to store any information for re-import to kurviger or for use in other programs ( e.g. Use the range rings to quickly determine theĭistance of objects from the Active Point.As Robin already mentioned the GPX specification contains a symbol tag () for route points ().īut as far as I can see at least Garmin devices do not care about the symbol ouf route points - newer devices use an orange flag for ViaPoints and a gray-blue circle for ShapingPoints.
