Problem with the Cyrillic alphabetFORUMS HOME SEARCH FORUMS

Hi!

There is a problem with Cyrillic
       
Example:
//www.plotaroute.com/route/10527

Thanks for flagging this up - we'll have a look into what we can do about this.

John

Some adding. When you're plotting a route Cyrillic in directions section is ok. Problem appears after saving.

We've just put in a change to the Route Info Page referred to in the link below, which will hopefully now display Cyrillic characters correctly:

//www.plotaroute.com/route/10527

Is this any better?  If this looks OK then we'll implement the same change to other pages on the site.

John

Hi!

Became better, but part of the problem remains

1. Window title

2. Direction/Notes

3. in gpx file

Just a quick update...we have made some further changes which should hopefully have resolved some of the issues.  We are still working on the Cyrillic character support in the Directions/Notes and will post back once we have resolved this.

John

We've made some changes to our database which should hopefully now allow Cyrillic characters to be stored correctly when saving a route.  It is possible that some routes that have previously been saved may need to be replotted to allow the correct directions to be recorded (including the one referred to below) but any new routes you plot should hopefully now display Cyrillic characters correctly.  It's difficult for us to test this fully so if you encounter any problems please let us know.

John

Thank you, John! Great job.

It remains one problem while creating gpx route
Tag name value you get cropping 10 bytes comments, for Cyrillic, this leads to strings incorrectly. Perhaps it is necessary to use a symbol-wise, not a byte by byte cutting (for Oracle substr instead substrb)
The best option to create a separate field for the tag name.

See //www.plotaroute.com/route/10527 for example

Is it any better now?  Just put in a change which hopefully has helped!  In GPX files the Name tag for waypoints is limited to a maximum of 10 characters, but I think it wasn't counting Cyrillic chracters correctly.

John

Thank you.Now all ok.

I would very much like to be able to include direction in the track file selectively.

We use them for those who do not have gps

Great - thanks for the confirmation!

When you say you you would like to be able to include directions selectively, do you mean that you would like the option to include all or none of the directions or to be able to select individually which ones you would like to include in the file?

John

Another bug with cyrillic.

No problems for route in Russia //www.plotaroute.com/route/10759

But problem is the same for route for e.g. in Finland. Latin and cyrillic symbols are together  //www.plotaroute.com/route/10641

>When you say you you would like to be able to include directions selectively, do you mean that you would like the option to include all or none of the directions or to >be able to select individually which ones you would like to include in the file?

Second way

For example:

I want to keep a complete set of directions like this //www.plotaroute.com/route/13174
but in the track needs only here these points //www.plotaroute.com/route/13776

You can make a general tick:
Save only waypoints with symbols

Thanks Mikhail for the clarification on your request for selective direcitons in GPX downloads - I'll add this to the feature request list.

Nikolay - I'm not sure how the Finland routes ended up with a mixture of character codes and standard characters.  I can't seem to be able to reproduce the problem here.  If I plot the same route the directions come out in English but even if I copy and paste some Cyrillic characters into the directions it seems to store these correctly.  Do you know what you might have done differently on this route compared with your others that display correctly?

Hi John

Last problem with cyrilic

My route:

Thanks for flagging this up.  A fix has just been applied so hopefully this should be OK now.  

John

Thanks, now all ok.

I am back :)

Stops working  saving Cyrillic in .gpx files in the fields "Name"

Around the beginning of 2016
I can send examples

Hi Mikhail!  Can you give me an example of a route where this is happening please and I'll try to look into it?  And also let me know what download format tyou are selecting?

Thanks

John
