Please do not use unicode to encode Chinese when exporting files.

A lot of software does not recognize this code,

please use gb2312 to encode Chinese,

its compatibility is good, many software can identify this code of chinese

Good day liaoliao,

as I see on Wikipedia, this encoding is useful for Chinese Simplified, right? Oki, I'll change export encoding for GPX/KML files.

Please check next published version and let me know if there will be any problem with this change. Thank you.

I update locus to ver 3.30.4, and test it。You may have misunderstood me。

only change encoding="UTF-8" to encoding="GB2312"

my meaning is that，for example

do not use:

encoding="UTF-8"

use:

encoding="UTF-8"

I mean that when using text tool to open the kml/gpx file ，

it can show chinese , do not shows &#x…… thus,its compatibility is better.

In latest version, in GPX/KML header is set 'encoding="GB2312"' and all texts are wrote in GB2312 encoding.

And you want from me to keep old header value 'encoding="UTF-8"' and just write all texts in GB2312?

Maybe my expression was not accurate enough；

the header value 'encoding="UTF-8"' is right.

all chinese texts encode in utf-8 also, intead of unicode.

in simple way，you may refer the kml/gpx of locus v3.21.0 , that chinese text encoding is right。

e.g. 914c5a298743418a34e9e14a9292a22c

Good day liaoliao,

I have to say that for me, this is some overcomplicated task. I'm reverting export to UTF-8 system. Because Unicode is globally used standard how to display characters, I consider task as closed. Locus will continue to export names & descriptions in Unicode no matter what language is currently used. Thanks for understanding.

all right，：～（

but change encoding="gb2312" to encoding="UTF-8" in the next version, the older is right.
