Avenue doesn't render GPX files that plot a "route" (instead of a "track") #30

Closed pvdb closed 1 year ago

pvdb commented 1 year ago

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. :cry:

Opening the attached littlemill_rte.gpx file in Avenue results in:

littlemill_rte

After converting the "route" (<rte>) into a "track" (<trk> with a nested <trkseg>) opening the attached littlemill_trk.gpx file results in:

littlemill_trk

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! :sweat_smile:

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

Hi @pvdb,

With the exception of #33, distance and time (if there's date info) now works. I did not publish a new beta, but I am planning to upload to App Store soon as a stable release.

Also you might be interested in the addition of feature in #32, also arriving in next stable App Store update.
