    @Albert-van-den-Elsen

    I can understand Maicro's question.

    Accidents or desasters do happen. Either of technical nature or others. Using something as a service makes one dependent on the provider of this service that they will not lose the data, and with the data all the work that has been put into it.

    And one is dependent on the provider continuing the service. Webservices get discontinued more often then you might know. Even with the big players (Google etc) you are never certain.

    So having a method the pull out all the data you have in a platform, is reassuring..

    Regards,

    Hans

    @Hans-Kremers, GPX is the most universal method of transferring routes from one to another program, and if it were me, for that purpose I would use route AND tracks, since only those reassure you of being able to rebuilt a route unchanged.

    Explicitly for transferring routes, to other platforms, any closed source MRA specific file export would be senseless, because others can't import it. The only reassurance you get with that, is that you can reupload your routes completely intact to MRA, in case they lose your data. Also, with it you would be able to take old routes out of the platform to keep it plain and uncomplicated, while keeping the option to reupload them. And in itself that is a worthwhile idea.

    I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

    Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

      My thanks goes to you. I enjoy planning routes and I enjoy navigating them. One of the few applications that satisfies all needs in a simple way because it is made by passionate people. congratulations!

          just download them from wikiloc (in gpx format) and upload them to MRA routeplanner.
          Or do i understand you wrongly?

          I am sorry. I speak English very poorly. I meant to imply a rhetorical question. An unanswered question. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you very much for your interest. What I wanted to imply is the advantage for users to have a MRA file system that allows us to exchange routes by file exchange.

            For instance, take photobucket as example.

              Yes, but that fileformat does not help much in such a case, if it is a closed source one that cannot be imported anywhere else. The raw data (being the waypoints and a track) is already exportable.

              I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!
