    Note: I'm aware there's a work-around: save as GPX (with track), import as route-track. I would just like to get rid of those two steps.

    For archival purposes, I would like to be able to 'convert' routes I've used in the past to route-tracks, to maintain their 'integrity' over time. Routes (based on waypoints) run the risk of being changed without my involvement, by changes in the map they are based on, changes in the route-calculation algorithm and more. To preserve the route as it was when it was originally created, it would be great to be able to convert it to a route-track from within MRA.

      The quickest way I know is to save the Route with Waypoints as a GPX1.1 (Track, POI)
      Then upload it as a Route-Track.
      I guess those are the same 2 steps you are trying to avoid.

      You don’t stop riding when you get old, you get old when you stop riding.

        I totally agree with @Herko-ter-Horst suggestion.
        I often save the track and route for the same reason and would like to be able to do that with fewer steps.

            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.

                BMW R1300 GS, BMW Connect Ride Next navigator; Quad Lock with Samsung Galaxy Ultra, iPad Pro (iPadOS 18.0 bèta version) MacBook Pro (MacOS Sequoia 15.2 bèta version), iMac (MacOS Monterey 12.7.6)

                  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 🙂
