Import GPX duplicate problem

If the same Import GPX file is run more than once, then duplicate routes and tracks are created but waypoints are not duplicated. This appears to cause some problems. Best if duplicate routes and tracks are either overwritten or skipped and not duplicated.
thanks

What do you mean by 'run more than once'? Do you mean imported to the Mark & Route Manager more than once?


If so, why would you do that?

Re: Import GPX duplicate problem

This is because I have a lot of .gpx files with many routes and waypoints covering multiple areas.
It is quite possible to accidentally load the same file twice when loading multiple routes via .gpx files for different areas or countries.

The system can already recognise if a waypoint is loaded with the same name (as is normal with any computer system, if a duplicate name is detected then the user is usually offered the option to overwrite or skip).

It would be correct for the route manager to also recognise duplicate names.

If you are only working with one or two .gpx files then this error may not happen of course.

Re: Import GPX duplicate problem

I've ran into the problem as well. It would be nice if the program did not import duplicate routes and tracks.
