Conversion of route options (feature requests)
#1
Exclamation 

Feature 1:
I opened a GPX file generated by GPS Essentials on my Samsung Galaxy S2 with Android 4.0.3 (Icecream Sandwich). It was recorded during a bicycle ride partly on road and partly on bike paths and across country.

I decided to convert this track to a route so it could be edited in another route-planning application. Much to my surprise the file was not just converted from <trk> to <rte> but also optimised to take a shorter distance and on available roads, presumably by applying the navigation algorithms such as are used in Google Maps and GPS units! Sad

Could there be an option to just convert the file without trying to optimise the route? I mostly want to record trips and then hand edit the resulting route to be used for planning trips for a cycling group.

Feature 2:
Undoing the changes did not restore the track as originally recorded only produced a mess of old track points and new route points. To restore the file it was necessary to exit RouteConverter, then restart it.

Could there be a Close option on the File menu which would simply close the currently open file (with all the usual warnings about saving or not saving changes)? Then you would not have to relaunch RC.
