Imported GPX file Waypoint Names
-
Hi All,
I have a GPX file that I created that right now includes a track and 9 waypoints. When I import, the track looks just fine, but the names and descriptions of the waypoints are missing. When I import the file into Osmand or OnX it looks fine. Any thoughts?
A screenshot and the GPX file are located here.

What routing software did you use to create the GPX?
I think your issue may be an unusual formatted GPX file, each track & waypoint element content in your file contains the term "ns0", ns=name space
Unless the software you are uploading the GPX to can interpret the "ns0" term then things look like they go a bit pear shaped. Appears Osmand can cope with the term but not MRAAs the "ns0" term is not one I am used to seeing in a GPX file I stripped it out using this xml converter & the resulting track & points loaded correctly into MRA web planner

@Brian McG Those tracks are from a ride I personally rode and recorded, so they ended up living in Garmin Explore and OsmAnd. The waypoints were provided by the event organizer.
My goal was to upload one GPX that includes both the recorded track and the waypoints, then use that as the starting point to build a shareable route for others in MyRouteApp. After more testing, it looks like the import can handle either a GPX with only a track, or a GPX with only a route plus waypoints, but not a GPX that contains both a track and waypoints. When both are present, it brings in the coordinates but strips the waypoint names and details.
This was a 10 day ride with over 100 waypoints, so retyping all the waypoint names and descriptions manually is not a realistic option.

@Brian-McG wow Brian that's awesome! It have 10 separate files for that. I will clean them all up and try again. Thank you!

@Kerry-Lebel in your original post the GPX track you shared had 9 waypoints, these are clearly shown in the picture I posted with the waypoint names, it looks exactly like it does in Osmand & I was surprised to see that MRA also imported all the descriptions for the points
Somewhere along the way your original recorded GPX file seems to have had the "ns0" attribute added to it, just use a text editor like notepad to view the GPX file & you will see "ns0" all over it.
This could have been introduced by Garmin Explore or it may have been in some other part of the storage/transfer chain & this is why you were having issues importing it to MRA & losing the waypoint names & descriptionsI agree recreating a route with 100 points & all the descriptions is a bit of a task & a little unrealistic
I am not sure what you now asking for, cleaning up the GPX file seems to work well, this is a link to a cleaned up copy of your original GPX imported into MRA

@Kerry-Lebel looks like we both posted at the same time
hope it all works for you
