Hi,



Thanks for creating OruxMaps, it's wonderful piece of software. Recently I've encouraged, a problem which I can't fix.

When I'm importing GPX track to Orux in some magical way all GPX waypoints are connected with straight lines.

I've created some screenshots to show what it's wrong, here is the link: http://imgur.com/a/K90qg">http://imgur.com/a/K90qg .



I have found this problem in:

 - OruxMaps version 5.5.22

 - OruxMaps version 5.5.23beta16 - latest beta up to date 2014-09-13



The GPX track imported to OruxMaps was downloaded from http://mapa-turystyczna.pl/route/6xe">http://mapa-turystyczna.pl/route/6xe (my favorite online track creator), you can download it clicking: "trasa GPS". So there is a significant difference between visualization in few programs (TrackNavigator screenshot included in album) and on website Mapa Turystyczna. This visualization problem is very problematic when you try to follow hiking trial.



So here are my questions:

 1. Is there a way to disable auto connecting waypoints (I couldn't find it in OruxMaps options, or when importing track)?

 2. If it is a bug, would you fix it?



My device is Samsung Galaxy SIII mini (GT-I8190N), Android version 4.1.2.

If you would like any detailed information don't hesitate to contact me via this forum.



greetings,

Tomek

Hi,



the file you import to OM includes:



1.-a set of waypoints

2.-a track

3.-a route, that connect all the waypoints. This is the one you don't want. May be you can export the track without the route, because it has no sense if the gpx also includes the track.

Thank you for your explanation, I've edited file manually and deleted the route which connects all points and it works like a charm.
