GPX upload facility #24

Open mvl22 opened 13 years ago

mvl22 commented 13 years ago

Several people have requested the ability to add a GPX file. Although there are other apps for this, it would be a nice addition for the sake of completeness.

Requests still coming in for this... https://twitter.com/ambrosen/status/231745647131369472

To get the matching of the gpx to the roads and get a sat mav like system, you need to create a route with loads of via points. I'm not sure how well that would work.

Isn't GPX import a backend feature, rather than a frontend one? If we added this to the Android app, I'd be looking to pass it off to the server, and then get back a normal CycleStreets route.

From my understanding, that is correct for the GPS navigation case.

If the user just wants to overlay a route, then it wouldn't need the backend feature.

Also if CS could take a URL rather than a file upload, that would help too in adding flexibility.
