Position list - tybern - 15.11.2019
Hello,
Just saw a (maybe) strange thing : when importing a track, the field "Position list" ("Liste de points" in french) display something like "Position 1 to position nnn (Track)".
And, if track is saved, this field becomes "<name>Position 1 to Position nnn</name>".
No problem...
But, if the number of point is reduced (for example after applied Douglas-Peucker filter), this field remain the same.
So, in particular, the track saved have a <name> field which is not correct, but reused like that by other softwares.
Normal ? May be better is it reflects the exact number of points ?
Best regards,

Hi,
I assume you use the *.gpx file format.
Open the file with a editor and you'll see something like this:
You simply see the text between <name> and </name> tags.
This text is not changed when you change the number of waypoints.
