    I looked at the service ridewithgps.com and I saw there those simple things that are not in this service. Saving a track with options: include POI, exclude directions.

    Saving a track
    ridewithgps
     You can choose, save a simple track, save the track + POI as a point, save the track + the legend as a point


    plotaroute
    You can save only the track + the legend as points
    POI generally does not save


    For us, the most basic is the option to save the track + POI as a point

    Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question.  When you download a route from plotaroute.com to a GPX Track file, all the directions (what ridewithgps calls "cues") will be included in the file as Waypoints by default. We don't have POI's, although you can add custom notes to the directions, so these would be included as Waypoints too. Are you looking for an option to exclude directions from a GPX download or to only include some of the directions in the download?

    Gmmm

    <Add Symbols and Labels to the Map> 

    Is this really not POI?

    Tell me five differences :)

    Sorry, just to be clear, you are looking for an option to only include those directions that have symbols or labels in the GPX file - is that correct?

    So, if we added a line to the download form saying "Include Directions" with three options: "All", "POI's" (those with symbols or labels) or "None", would that give you what you need?

    May be better

    Include waypoint:

    All
    Include Directions
    POI's
    None

    Yes, it might be clearer to refer to Waypoints. I think "All" and "Include Directions" would do the same thing though. There are only really three options:

    1. Add a Waypoint for every direction.

    2. Add a Waypoint for every direction that has a label or symbol (POI).

    3. Don't add any Waypoints.

    This is normal variant.

    But my opinions that

    OK, we'll add an extra option on the GPX Download to include only those directions that have labels or symbols.

    Thanks for a quick implementation!
    A couple of comments (see https://www.plotaroute.com/map/678054)
    1. You can take a label as the name of a point
    <name> Cafe </ name>
    instead
    <name> This Long </ name>

    2. Add to POI


    The waypoint "Hotel" will be in this example

    That's a good idea Mikhail - we've changed the GPX download to use the label text for the name tag of the Waypoint if a label has been added.

    Thank you for implementing the first paragraph. I'm waiting for the answer to the second question, why is there no waypoint Hotel in POI?

    +

    Add a similar function when saving in kml, please

    There is an "Accommodation" symbol (a bed) that you could use to represent a hotel.

    I'll add the Waypoint filtering for KML downloads to the To Do list.  It'll need to be prioritised against other requests though.

    Hi John

    I am asking you about waypoint "hotel" from https://www.plotaroute.com/map/678054

    Sorry Mikhail, I hadn't understood your question. We'd have to carry out extra work to add waypoints in GPX files for any symbols that are not attached to directions.  I'll need to look at what's involved and see if when we can fit the work in.

    We've amended the GPX download now to include waypoints for any symbols and labels added directly to the map rather than the directions.

    It worked after the last update.

    thank you, John!!

    Now we are waiting for https://www.plotaroute.com/posts/2231/D/1

    Good, I'm pleased that one is sorted!  We won't be able to do the quick link suggestion though I'm afraid, as this is more complicated than it seems and we do have lots of other feature requests from other people to consider.
