flanker 26 Sep 6:20pm, 26 Sep 2024 21,306 posts	0 flanker Not had any problems. It should have got easier as the latest versions of the firmware have removed the annoying 200 waypoint limit message (no that it ever seemed to have any impact anyway)
rhb 26 Sep 10:31pm, 26 Sep 2024 2,388 posts	0 rhb It's defo not working here. I can't see an option in OS Maps to click advanced and choose "export as route" rather than track. Or to tick "without extensions". I'm using the app on android. Maybe that's the problem?

larkim 27 Sep 1:47pm, 27 Sep 2024 25,694 posts	0 larkim @rhb Just tried it again on a longer course. This time it wouldn't save. Is that the issue you were having?
rhb 27 Sep 8:20pm, 27 Sep 2024 2,392 posts	0 rhb Mine have been 10 miles & longer, I typically don't map shorter as memorise or run where I fancy but in marathon block looking for more certainty and less decision making whilst out at present. I've sent you the gpx for this 11 mile test loop that failed for me @larkim thanks.
