Export user points #36

Closed narcisgarcia closed 7 years ago

narcisgarcia commented 7 years ago

Feature request: Additionally to allow exporting complete GPX, it could be useful to export&import a (different?) file with the only data user specified: start place and next places for a route. This way will allow to load and continue a route design.

The file could be in same GPX file format (different extension?) but with only the track points the user introduced. If user only introduced a start point and a final point, the file can only contain those 2 points (as if the route was only a straight line). When loading the file, facilmap could replay user's actions and allow "continue route editing session".

This may be related to issue #9 ?

cdauth commented 7 years ago

Yes, in the GPX format this is the difference between “track points” and “route points”.

Actually, the export functionality is already implemented, there is just no UI for it yet. The plan is to have a dialog coming up when exporting the map, where different settings like this one can be selected.

Importing such files is indeed meant by #9.

What is the current way to modify a saved or exported+imported route?

cdauth commented 7 years ago

There is currently no way.

narcisgarcia commented 7 years ago

Oh, I've just discovered there is a way: The URL serves as import/export data. Once the route is drawn, I just copy the current URL. If I want to continue work, I just paste that URL to webbrowser opens facilmap with last status.

With commit 95c226305 (not yet installed on facilmap.org), it is now possible to access the GPX file through the URL https://facilmap.org/<map ID>/gpx. By appending ?useTracks=0 or ?useTracks=1 you can switch between exporting route points or track points.

Nice.
