Favorite Export to gpx

Does the GPX format includes dates and time ? I don’t think so, but I may be wrong.
By the way I exported a GPX file generated by Route planner, but when I import this file into Navionics it says the file is corrupted. But I can import it into another app.
Did you try it? -
@idefix37 Yes. The reason it is "corrupt" is it is a track without date/time stamps. I think exporting as a route instead of a track makes more sense.

So from what you explain, the Route Planner does not plot a route but a track? -
@idefix37 The route planner plans a route. It should export as a route.

Hey guys,
I am also just looking into this and compared a gpx file that works for import in navionics and the file from windy export.I think @ScottVickery1969 is right and it would be right to change the export to use rte and rtept xml/gpx tags.
A tested example what the export should look like:
Windy 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Implementation wise it is very little to change:
- tag trk should be rte
- tag trkpt should be rtept
- Remove Tag trkseg
That should be it, should be doable in relatively low time effort.
I hope this helps to implement and fix the exported files.

Here is also a screenshot of the fixed gpx as the forum does not really make sense of gpx code:

thoughts @idefix37 ?
-
Sorry I have no expertise in gpx code

Is there any possibility to reach the windy devs with this feedback?
-
@nola-sail Hi, thanks for reporting. This should be fixed in next release

@David-Ryzec-3 I am looking to import a gpx file from my flight tracker to obtain the wind data and then export a new gpx file with the wind data to slap in telemetry overlay so that I can have wind data overlayed on my GoPro videos. Is this possible with windy?
