Gzip fields in gpx about osmand

[vshcherb]

That's a gzipped version of description which probably not necessary as anyone could zip gpx itself.

To do: do not write gzip properties in gpx

The bug was not reproduced. The GPX file from the zip folder you attached is damaged and cannot be opened in the app. Please try attaching the file again or send it to us via email at [email protected].

It is not damaged. It is what gpx contains in real live.
I just sent one wpt but it is taken out from osmand gpx.

Try other POI. I just click on it at 18:40 2024-05-28

<wpt lat="37.6315328" lon="22.7192652">
   <time>2024-05-04T19:11:41Z</time>
   <name>Archaeological Site of Argos</name>

and look into tag
osmand:osm_tag_description

Map of Greece is from may.

[yuriiurshuliak]

Could you please explain what you mean by POI OSM? Also, could you provide the steps we need to follow to reproduce this bug?

[mariush444]

I assume that you have gpx files in tracks folder and you have standard map of Greece from May.
Please,

1. open (show on map) gpx file from menu favorities -> tab tracks
2. Go to 37.6315328 22.7192652
3. Tap on Archaeological Site of Argos"
4. Use function "add track waypoint"
5. Choose your gpx track
6. Save the point in this track
7. Close the track and osmand to be sure that cashed activity is saved into file.
8. Open the gpx file in text editor and find just added waypoint.
9. Find "rubbish" in osmand:osm_tag_description

PS
If I find (remember) POI with osmand:osm_tag_content_-_*
you will how many "damaged" text strings are stored in osmand tags.

[yuriiurshuliak]

The bug has been reproduced. To reproduce this issue, create a track and add a waypoint at coordinates 37.6315328, 22.7192652. Then, completely close the app, reopen it, export the track, and view it in a text editor. You will see that the lines in osmand:osm_tag_content_-_ are damaged.

Here is an example of my track:
Thu 30 May 2024.zip

OsmAnd~ 4.8.0#2416m, released: 2024-05-30

[mariush444]

The question is why we have to copy any data from off line vector maps to gpx?

[vshcherb]

By design to have all data inside GPX to easy share

[mariush444]

I woud like to ask to reconsider the idea. It is possivle to share this data between osmand users only (because of tag extensions). But osmand users use the same offline maps data. So it seems that it is nothing to share. Due to the redundand data gpx is heavy and rendering is slower and slower. It seemed that idea was that gpx (waypoints) were lighter than in favorities.

[vshcherb]

Something to think of though rendering of speed shouldn't be affected as it's description tags not number of points.
