Depending on the Mapsource routing profile used, the calculation may eventually be different. Always check it !
Gpx(rte) route export is not intended for Locus map users of course. But it is for their possible non-Locus equipment!
Direct routes are usually limited to about 200 positions. Just enough to walk from your house to your next neighbour. hmmmm....ok.. Tasmanian distances then
If you want navigation instructions, you must so first calculate with the "external" router, and then preferably also use the Locus track as a visual reference "template". So if you do recalculate, it's best to do so with only the optimal routepoint planner references.
I know this because my old Garmin eTrex would generate completely different (unwanted) route/ track when only start/ finish point was in the GPX file
.
Only Start and Finish is very little, isn't it Andrew. In the proposal it is also inclusive the Shaping (yes that very valuable info indeed) and the Via Points !
And oh sure, this is the learning price you always have to pay with this equipment. After which many will only follow visual tracks and hardly use the other possibilities of the device.
As a new GPS user it was very confusing
.
That's why Andrew, you too, now only use that superior reliable Locus track navigation, isn't it ?
You import your carefully prepared navigation track with instructions already attached and immediately start the navigation and this 100% true to the way you have prepared it.
No external router interferes with it and might change the design, unless you still want to be flexible and therefore allow it.
Who else offers this (similar)?
- Locus map. (navtrack gpx) (txc) (fit)
- Kurviger (.kurviger)
- Garmin Edge bike gps range (tcx) (fit).
Provided that you import the file directly into the device.
Via Garmin connect you also get unexpected changes.
