Advantages ? None.
Locus simply replaces all (trkpt)trackpoints with (rtept)routepoints.
The export so contains a "direct" gpx route which hardly anyone uses.
When reimporting into Locus, it has serious disadvantages.
As Locus then converts every route point into a waypoint.
This has no added value but mainly pollutes the display.
The app becomes agonizingly slow or possibly crashes.
A rte (route) should only contain the via and shaping routepoints.
Through these route points the route planner can so recalculate.
The chance that the result is different from original is quite high.
Using routes is like a game of chance it often does not result in what you expect.
