Waypoints vs. Locations in GPX import

#1 · 30.01.2025, 15:44

I imported a GPX file that contains a track (<trk>) and a number of waypoints (wpt). I had previously imported the waypoints into Scenic as locations so that I could apply a specific icon for display. On the map, the waypoint is shown as a pin icon with a star inside. My location icon is a green pin with a stop sign inside. The star icon covers the location icon. Is there a way to remove the waypoints from the GPX file? I do not see a delete option for the waypoints. My intention is to create stops out of my locations.

I'm attaching a screen shot to show a via, a waypoint from the GPX file, and a location that I moved slightly from the waypoint coordinates just to show the difference.

The purple marker with the star inside is not a waypoint from the GPX (Scenic doesn't show those on the map when you are importing a track or a route).
Probably, this is a location in a folder that you activated in the "layers" panel (second from the top, top-left), similar to the green marker with red diamond.

If you're enjoying Scenic and are happy with the support, please leave a nice rating in the App Store. It would mean a lot to me ❤️

Thanks, Guido, that was the problem. I must have inadvertently imported the waypoints that were included in the file while I was playing around with import in Scenic, and they wound up in the Favorite folder which shows up as an active layer on the map.
