Waypoints - What is displayed?

fazel

@Fenr1r I see case sensitive? Where to you see “non-”? Also - I’m a big fan of your vocabulary/writing prowess.

<wpt lat="40.612411" lon="-82.272338">
<time>2021-01-13T00:08:06Z</time>
<name>Up</name>
<cmt>3-step up (1)</cmt>
<desc>3-step up (1)</desc>
<sym>Left_slight</sym>
</wpt>

After editing

<wpt lat="40.612411" lon="-82.272338">
<time>2021-01-13T00:08:06Z</time>
<name>3-step up (1)</name>
<type>Hill</type>
</wpt>

We’ll see if this works.

@fazel You mean my fantastic ability to get the words wrong? Thunk you. Not “non-” but “in-”. Up above:

The type of waypoint determines the icon shown in Suunto watches. The type can be one of (case-insensitive):

@Fenr1r Oh geez - you are right. It is not case-sensitive. I will correct. Thank you!

@fazel This doesn’t appear to work. At least not as a direct import into SA from the GPX file.

@fazel however, I uploaded to QS and it subsequently showed up in SA with the waypoints (on iOS). So - success.

SA iOS stil ldoes not parse the waypoints from a GPX (I think)

WAypoints need to be inside the track for the watch / app to display them

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos two questions.

Does this mean even if I see the waypoints in the app, they won’t appear when I complete the route? (For clarification, I do see the waypoints in SA after uploading to QS on iOS.)
If this is the case, can I get around it by inserting the points within the <trk></trk> tags?

Thanks

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Just tested this. As you suggested still not working in iOS. I see the Waypoints in the GPX file but SA ignores on import. Any idea on when this might get resolved? Makes sharing routes a real pain … (anyone have a good workaround here?).

@fritzbt2013 it did work for me if I uploaded via the services menu is QS. Do you have SA connected with QS? I’m on iOS which is not officially supported according to the uploader, but it works. I tested a route yesterday using this process.

Straight export from PAR. You only need to fill out the label field. Select POI in the export options.
Upload to QS

The file then shoes up in SA. If you select it, you will see the waypoint flags.
