Problem with shared Routes

[LennyO]

Hello, all!
If you create a Route in MRA Route Planner, then save it is as 1.1, then bring it back into MRA Route Planner to a different folder or under a different name, all the avoidances from original route are lost!
So, How od I ensure that original avoidances are kept???

Thank you!

@Lenny-O Make a copy, no need to save it. A copy will retain everything from the original.

what @Nick-Carthew said.

My understanding is exporting out of MyRouteApp to .gpx is sort of like saving your Word .docx document as a .txt file. The content of the document remains but all the formatting/fonts/metadata is stripped off in the process. Once it's gone, converting the .txt back to .docx won't bring back that metadata...it's gone.

@Paul-Steinberg Great analogy

Is there a specific reason for you, why you would want to do it that way?

@Paul-Steinberg, It has already been said by @Nick-Carthew
Exactly to the point!

The reason I was doing it is to test if it would work when I send the route to someone else.

Let someone else create a cost free basic account and share your routes to friends. With that, they have a one to one copy.

You may have discovered yourself or by reading the great analogy from @Paul-Steinberg, saving and importing a route will lose all route point information.

If you want to send the route to someone that has an MRA account (Basic, Silver or Gold), click Share, use the link option and then copy the URL web address. You can then paste that in an email or social media post. Because they have an MRA account, the same route point information like colours, icons and text will be retained. Photos are not transferred.

If that same someone does not have an MRA account, click Save as and choose.gpx 1.1 (route, track, POI) this is the most common .gpx file. This saves the file to your computer, you can then attach it to an email or social media post.

Thanks!
This is exactly what I did.

Only the MRA sharing within the app or web page to friends, group or in an event delivers 100% of the content that you have created yourself in MRA.

For this you always have to use MRA!!!

In one of the export files, the additional MRA information such as colors or text info for the WP will be lost.

A user gets the best result if he uses the MRA navigation.
