MRA + Sygic (with Waypoints) in 2025?

Re: Sygic works with GPX import again
I have referenced an old forum thread above, im trying to export a route with about 15 waypoints (set as ALL hand symbols 'Via'). Im exporting as GPX1.1 and opening in Sygic (latest version).
Sygic opens and shows the route but no waypoints, has anyone solved this yet or is Sygic no good with MRA?
Thanks.

MRA (With waypoints) > Sygic 2025 - Solved!
So after the whole night in VSCode trying to work out why the GPX file XML was not being interprited for waypoints in Sygic, and after numerous forum posts, I have a solution!
Step 0: Download and create a free account with the Garmin Tread app
Step 1: Create your route in MRA with waypoints
Step2: Download/Share the GPX from MRA and open in Tread (you can do this in one motion if in the mobile app)
Step 3: Check your waypoints show in Thread, then just click 'Share GPX' and open with Sygic (again if mobile you can do this in one motion 'open with' rather than messing with file downloads).
Thats it! All works, my big route now shows all waypoints in Sygic.
I can only assume (without finding the XML culprit) that the MRA export is not perfect (matching the schema definition for GPX), given Thread is by Garmin, their app must clean it up and re-exports in a cleaner format that Sygic can read!!Sorted, enjoy MRA & Sygic.
