Saving waypoint coordinates

Scenic has a great planner with the ability to export GPX files. Sometimes though I need to send to a mate the coordinates of a waypoint or end point for him to load into his navigation. At the moment the only way I can do this is to export the GPX file and then open it in an editor and extract the data. It would be a great option if there was a way to export the start, end and waypoints coordinates directly into a text file. It would also make a good backup of the route as these coordinates can be used in the planner to reconstruct the route if you do not have the GPX file. If not possible to export then a way to see the coordinates of the waypoints would also work. Probably not the most important feature request but it would be handy. Keep up the good work Guido its becoming an excellent app.

Perfect place for this is on the route information page where you can Navigate, Share URL, Export GPX, Edit Points etc.. Just next to Delete a Waypoint button to either list the coordinates including start and end points so they can be copied or alternatively an export option.

Good idea. And pretty easy to implement. Will add to the list. Tx.

Thanks Guido your a star.

I see Guido v3.04 has been released. In the description under new features is sharing of locations and GPS coordinates. Is this what I was after the ability to save the waypoint coordinates.

I don’t think so. This new feature lets you export / copy/paste coordinates of locations (in the locations screen), not from vias/stops in routes.

The update will be released spread out over the next 7 days. You can force it by going to the App Store directly: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1089668246

OK thanks Guido. Just found this feature. Cool. The app is developing and getting better all the time. Brill.

Is it implemented? Is possible do it from navigation view? From point tooltip?

You have to enable this in settings > Finetuning > coordinates in callout bubble.

Then you will see the coordinates in the bubble and you can copy them from there.
