Suggestion: convert route to route-track from within MRA Routeplanner

[Herko ter Horst]

It occurs to me that this suggestion has gained an additional benefit in combination with MRA Navigation (Next): to use track navigation with MRA Navigation, you currently have to perform the same two steps on routes you have created yourself, or that you have found in the RouteLab. Although it would be even nicer (IMO) if users of MRA Navigation could simply choose from the app if they wanted to navigate a certain route using waypoint or track based navigation, implementing this suggestion would already take some of the pain of enabling track navigation for your own routes away.

@Herko-ter-Horst We'd like to add the feature natively to the app as you mention too

For me, with a BMW Navigator V, the best format is GPX 1.2.

That's really cool and very user-friendly for users of the app. I hope the original suggestion will be made available in the planner too

Hi, before starting new topic, I search for it and found this discussion, last message was in 2023, meanwhile I can't find it in the planner, does it mean there will be no solution to convert a route directly into a track directly in the planner ? Or is it somewhere in the planning ?

Why do you want to convert a route into a track? For the same reason as the post creater?

Hi Kris,

if you want this feature for maintaining a route archive, I would suggest that you use the tracklogs. I do the same, as my experience is, that most of the times we ahve to use smaller or bigger deviations to the original route. I always upload/save the tracklog at the end of the trip. This is then my archive

@Herko-ter-Horst It must be almost 3 years ago I asked the development team to introduce this feature....

This feature request probably is superseeded by the "Navigate route as track" feature in combination with the fact that every route already contains a lowres track to enable this feature.

Having said that, to copy a route as a track could be beneficial for sharing the track among users of third-party navigation systems from within the MyRouteApp planner (without export/import). Also it is a great tool for quickly comparing a route for changes, when they are getting old.

@Jörgen
It would be nice to have this feature, to make it possible to send a track to other people instead of a route.
