I imported a GPX file (“Namloser Tal RT - 370km.gpx”) on Kurviger’s website. The name is preserved then (without whitespaces), because if exporting again, I can see this name: “NamloserTalRT-370km”.

But if I use the share function to import this route into the Kurviger app on my smartphone, the whitespaces (and I guess also other special characters) are preserverd as coded characters, so that the route’s name looks like this: “Namloser%20Tal%20RT%20-%20370km”.

This is a little bit annoying if I want to export the route on my smartphone (what always is a good idea to do so) because I have to edit/delete all those special characters in the name.

Would it be possible to change this behaviour?

Thanks for the report!

How exactly do you transfer the route from the website to the application?

Sorry, I missed that important information: I use the QR code and my smartphone’s camera.
