[closed] GPX display
Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2017 12:49 pm
Hi and thanks for AlpineQuest.
Something illogical seems to me when I see a descriptive part of a GPX waypoint in AlpineQuest
A gpx waypoint by default has 2 tags:
<latitude> (or <lat>) and longitude (or <lon>)
The optional are:
<name></name>
<desc></desc>
<cmt></cmt>
<url></url>
etc.
I always thought that description was more important than comments, i.e. if you have a waypoint it's name is so and so (name), it's about so and so (description).
If needed I can have comments about this waypoint expanding the description. But I thought the description is the first and comments should go after it.
This logic is kept in Locus. Just have a look at a screenshot of a gpx waypoint details where the tag chain is like this: name —> description —> comment
Now let's have a look at how AlpineQuest displays it: name —> comment —> description
Is it OK like this?
The gpx file is common:
