Get a map Q.

[Bearbonesnorm]

With the demise of bikehike, I'm now working with OS Get a map. My question is, in what format does it save a gpx file? I assuming it does so as a route rather than track? If this is the case, can someone point me in the direction of somewhere I can convert it?

Thank you

You are correct, it's rubbish and I've told them. They gave me some wooly reply saying they know but I doubt it will change soon.

This should do what you want https://www.alltrails.com/converter

Is that the same as OS maps online? I have a subsription there. I Imported a gpx ... can't see how to edit it

Come back bikehike! Reverse route, cut to end, clickety click, save route as gpx track, bosh!

I emailed them but heard nowt, not looking good is it?

I assume so.

On OS maps online, once you have imported the route you can edit direct from your list of routes or 'View' it, then hidden in the top left hand corner is the 'Edit' button which opens the route editor.

No, I'm not importing a file. I'm making a route on-line that I want to save as a gpx track. I'm thinking that the site will only save as a gpx route, with no option to switch format.

Twas me mentioned importing and not being able to edit. I can see how to edit the name and type of ride, but can't edit the route (gpx track created on bikehike) at all! Looks like I'll need to re-create it from scratch.

- Open OS Maps
- Click Routes at top
- Click My Routes
- Find your route then click "Edit" and you will then get the edit bar and can change stuff

Correct. Basecamp converts easily from one to t'other

+1 for basecamp
Even moreso, if you install the TalkyToaster Mao's (free or subscribed versions)

Thanks Dave. Weirdly it didn't work for me the other day (no intermediate waypoints showed) but now it does. Looks pretty good editing actually.
