[routeconverter]

Vielen Dank für Ihre Arbeit und Ihre Bereitschaft, die Entwicklung als Open Source zu veröffentlichen (hopefully, that makes sense, as my German is still much more rudimentary).

Hallo Mathieu,

vielen Dank – das ist gut zu verstehen :-)

In the field, I use the OsmAnd app which is quite capable. While Route Converter can import such .gpx file, I was wondering if it would be possible to display, edit or add information directly from Route Converter from the osm extension field (see exemple attached)?

It might be a bit difficult to transport this information from the osmand extension to the rendering process since RouteConverter is not meant to support every feature of every program for every data format but just a common subset.

A comment field could also be of use for subjective or temporary information that could then be removed without altering the name / description field.

Again a compromise since GPX is one out of more than 100 data formats – and one of two, that have a name and a description.

It this something that could realistically be integrated into Route Converter ?

Not very likely. It would mean you'd have to spend quite some time for development. And pass me as the gatekeeper of a simple, easy to use tool for sporadic users with limited understanding of the domain ;-)

Just look at the bold stuff and it's not obvious at all how this additional data is to be interpreted and how should be displayed – at least for me: I don't know OsmAnd.
