downloaded route gpx file is emptyFORUMS HOME SEARCH FORUMS

It's a while since exercised this process so maybe I am missing something.

When I create and then download a gpx file as a route with POIs and look at it with a gpx editor the file is empty.

When I download the same file as a track it is as it should be.

When I look at files previously downloaded as routes they are just as they should be but repeating one of thos now renders an empty file.

Has something changed or have I forgotten to do something?

should have added that I'm using Windows 11

Can you share a link to the route Jim, so we can take a look?

Here it is - https://www.plotaroute.com/route/2357344?units=km

Fwiw - don't think it's the route but something I am not doing correctly

Thanks Jim. I've just downloaded that route as a GPX Route file and it looks OK to me. The file has all the directions converted to route points, which is as expected e.g.

<rtept lat="56.9300497" lon="-4.2513688">

<ele>365</ele>

<time>2023-08-24T00:21:21Z</time>

<name>kwpt old t</name>

<cmt>kwpt old track</cmt>

<desc>kwpt old track</desc>

<sym>Flag, Blue</sym>

</rtept>

Can you see this if you open the file in a text editor like Notepad?

thanks - yes. 

'User error'..... I can see now that my option selection on download needed to include 'Directions'.

Thanks again
