Route – Includes a list of track points, which are waypoints for turn or stage points, that lead to a destination.Track – Basically this is a list of points that describe a path.Waypoint – are the GPS coordinates of a point.Today, most commonly, fitness devices and applications, such as Garmin Connect devices, use GPX files to import and export running, hiking, biking, skiing,… routes. Thanks to GPX files you can exchange GPS location data, including maps, routes, and geocaching information, between devices or with friends. Then, you can load it into garmin basecamp and converted from a track to a route, eliminating a step of route -> track -> route like you would need to do with Ī nice enhancement to gaiagps would be to have a 5th route kind in addition to birdseye, car, cycle, hike - that being 'as clicked'.How to choose an outdoor GPS What data does a GPX file contain? When you download in, you have the option to download as a track. For an interesting comparison with - in when you create a route, it also created additional rtept over and above the ones you clicked when you created the route, but instead of 200 ft intervals, they seem to be about 1000 yards apart.if you have a gpx track of > 250 tr kpt (say 1000 trkpt), load it into garmin basecamp and convert it into a route, garmin basecamp will 'thin out' or 'prune' the points down to some number will only be the ones you will not 'autocreate' rtept.Garmin handhelds have a limit of 10,000 trkpt per track. You can load a gpx route > 250 rtept into garmin basecamp, convert it to a track, and load the resulting track into a garmin handheld.if you load a downloaded gpx route from that has > 250 rtept, the garmin device will only load the first 250 rtept and ignore the rest.garmin handheld gps devices are limited to 250 rtept on a route.all route types in will create that are ~200 ft apart from start of route to finish. Here is what I have found out, hopefully this will be useful for other users. So, at 200 ft per routepoint the longest route for a created route that would load into a garmin oregon would be ~9.4 miles max. If fact many garmin devices such as the garmin Oregon or the garmin etrex (which is what i have) has a limit of 250 points per route see If gaiagps 'fills in' the route with additional routepoints that are at intervals of 200 ft each, that would be ~1,320 routepoints!! That is way too may for my use. The use case is that I need to create a route that is, say, 50 miles long for driving off-road and I can create such a route with only 50 or so clicked routepoints. Or is there a way to not have these 'filled in 200 ft.' routepoints at all and only have the routepoints that I clicked in the map when I created the route? But if it is as designed, is there are way to control this? That is, is there a setting to make the interval of automatically created routepoints to be, say 1/2 mi. I don't know it this is as designed behavior or a bug. It seems that is 'filling in the space' of the route with these 200 ft routepoint. If I create a birdseye route in that had, say, 5 routepoints that I 'click created' on the map to create the route, when I then download that route as a gpx file and open it in a text editor, instead of seeing only the 5 routepoints that I 'click created' I see hundereds for routepoints at 200 ft intervals.
