@Jack-van-Tilburg
But why import both? I only, if i import one, import a track, because that is the most reliable
Because others may use the tool differently...
As I noted, MRA is not my primary route planner. My interest in MRA is primarily for MRA Navigation. My main use case for MRA Routeplanner is to import the routes I create elsewhere and to make adjustments to them as needed so that they replicate faithfully the original route.
So... One handy feature is to export the route - created elsewhere - with both route and track data in the GPX file. Once imported into MRA, I then display the tracklog over the route to see where corrections (inserting shaping points) to the route might be needed.
You suggests that it's best to just import the track. I disagree. Sure you can convert the track to a route. But this is what you get...
A gazillion shaping points and none of the via (stops) that you explicitly and carefully planned out - using the alternative route planner - and imported with the GPX file. I don't care for that. If this approach doesn't include the the imported via/stops, then it's an immediate deal killer. Secondly, I personally prefer to have as few shaping points as I can get away with - especially since you can't filter them from view. I especially don't want to see a gazillion shaping points while navigating. This approach might be serviceable if/when you convert to route the imported vias/stops are included, and you have the ability to filter out the shaping points from view in the list and on the map.
I note that Gold subscription has a Reduce function in the tool kit. That might help deal with the excessive shaping points. I don't know how well it works because I don't have a Gold subscription. But in any case, it seems it would likely be a clunky and tedious approach to dealing with the issue. I would rather just overlay the imported tracklog over the route and make the (generally few/minor) corrections needed.
