@kemetter said in Suunto Routeplanner:
This should match Suunto app quite well, but some GPX files have quite odd content. I would need the original GPX file in question to be able to resolve this.
Waypoints should load if GPX is exported from Suunto app, but from other sites it’s not a standard how they mark user named waypoints.
Here is one example, which I think I created this in Strava:
Issy Alps 50k.gpx
When I load this in Suunto App it shows all waypoints and the distance is 50 km:

When I load the same GPX file in the routeplanner, no waypoints are shown and the distance is 42 km:

It may not be obvious by looking at the screenshots but the missing parts are from the start to the first waypoint and from the last waypoint to the finish. Basically, the route now starts at the top of the first mountain and ends at the top of the last mountain.
I’ve had similar issues with a few more GPX routes.
Also, I should mention that on-route waypoints can also be present in routes that are saved as FIT files. Those can be generated by some route planners such as PlotARoute and are natively supported by Garmin. It would be great if the route planner could load routes in the FIT format too. Also, routes in FIT format can embed turn directions, and some route editors (e.g. PlotARoute) can create those too. It would be awesome is Suunto followed the same standard.
