Problems with GPX and Guidance

[Ignacio Carvajal]

Hello, I use .gpx files to set on OSMAND a rout that some one how do know the road could follow that route. When I upload a .gpx file to OSMAND, the .gpx is shown on OSMAND screen without problem (everithing is ok and the route is perfect), then OSMAND calculate the rout add to the rout given by the gpx line other directions, and do not pay attention to the real directions set on screen from the gpx lines. Is there any way to solve this or it is a normal functionality? how OSMAND should work with .gpx files and directions?

Best regards.

Does OSMAnd ask you if it should use the displayed GPX route for
navigation ?
BTW, what is the origin of the GPX ?
Does it contain navigation instruction ? ( like turn left, if it was GPX
from BRouter or some Online routing services)

Hi, thanks for your reply. The .gpx was created from google maps and transformed from gpsbabel. There are not instructions inside the gpx file so it is a clean gpx from google map. Any idea? Best regards.

Hi,

kml files can  contain several types of information, but mostly waypoints. And that's exactyl the question.

What does your converted gpxfiles contain?:  

- lines beginning with <trkpt .....

- lines beginning with <wpt ...

- lines beginning with <rtept ...

You can't use the files with waypoints (<wpt..) as they are the same as favourites. Just a bunch of markers of interesting places.

files with <trkpt (track files) and <rtept (route files) or combinations of those can be used for routing.

Note that the track and route files sometimes also contain a number of <wpt lines as they are indeed the waypoints/landmarks/milestones, etc. in your route/track.

Anyway, if it is only wpt you need to reconvert. 

gpsbabel is very versatile, but I would advice routeconverter as it allows yout to easily control the output and it gives you the opportunity to create/modify your downloaded routes.

Harry, thank you very much for your explanation, is very detailed!. The file that I am using contain <rtept and <wpt so according to your information, I only have to download routeconverter and convert that gpx file to other output format. Could you recomend me any output from routeconverted to used on OSMAND?. Best regards!!
