Has the Web planer been updated? GPX file now not importing Waypoints from GPX, only Track
-
Last Oct I was able to simply import our Route and Track form the Groups GPX file and It would display the 20 or so Via points embedded in the GPX file. This year for the same event, with the same provided GPX file all I can get are the start and finish waypoints and the track. Converting it to a track is not useful as this just inserts random waypoints to ensure turn by turn follows the track.
What I would normally do is fix the via points by adding notes etc then use my Gold sub to add extra waypoints to make sure the route didn't change. Then I would export to my XT2 and use the MRA phone App as the main navigator.
My Bad, but I'm totally confused about what has changed between the two events. In between I have been creating routes directly in MRA web and running them on the phone so I didn't notice the change, or have I just forgotten how to do this?
Help would be appreciated. I don't wish to have to move the file via Basecamp as that would be a backward move the I purchased MRA to avoid. I'm on a Mac, so Basecamp is slow and buggy. And anyway, I still need it in MRA for the phone Navigation as well as the XT2.

@Neil-Bartlett, you can upload routes and route-tracks in seperate tabs of the upload windows. Most GPX files contain both, but some don't.
I am not aware of any recent changes on this feature.
If you share a download link to the GPX file, I can test it for you. -
Hi @Neil-Bartlett as @Con-Hennekens says not much has changed with regard MRA & gpx file import / export, it should work & you should be able to get the via points & shaping points if you want
I suspect where things may be going awry is at the very first stage of the process, it would help if you could expand on where & between what areas / devices you are "importing"?
When you say Group GPX, can you confirm you mean your copying a gpx from a Group within the MRA web site & planner?
Apologies I am just a bit confused over where your starting from -

Yes, if @Neil-Bartlett uses the Route tab from the picture above, and then only if the waypoints are indeed present in the GPX file. Some tour-operators have the nasty habit of only delivering the track in their GPX files, because they think that is the best way to ensure everyone has the same "route". And they may actually be right, but not for people with MRA skills...
