Hi, honestly I’ve never tried, now I’m not a programmer, but I think that having the possibility of having the customizable field could benefit many as it is a field often used when creating paths to write down useful information along the route or information that can help you even during planning alone. Since the cmpo can be customized by changing it in the WP I think the other one is also feasible. Being able to do everything from Kurviger would be fantastic without having to use other external apps, further advantages would be added to increase use by a greater number of users.
if you try to open by double clicking on a waypoint in basecamp, you will see that in the comment field you will find that it is automatically filled in without you having done anything.
When exporting a route as GPX, each waypoint (which becomes a routepoint <rtept>) gets a description <desc> tag according to the following scheme:
- Start: ‘Continue onto xxx’
- each VP/SP: ‘Waypoint nn’
- End: ‘Arrive at destination’
This behaviour is standard, you can’t override it (a least I haven’t found a way).
@devisdonati suggestion is probably to have a way to enter an individual text for the description.
With favourites, you can enter such a text
which is even displayed when you add the favourite as a waypoint
but it’s also not exported to the description of the routepoint.
One idea is to have a new entry field at this place that can be filled/edited and becomes the description when exporting.
