Import of GPX Files into Basecamp fails

Alexander Strebel shared this problem 10 years ago
Solved

Hi,


I use Locus Pro 3.4.0 and Basecamp 4.2.4 (Mac). When I try to import a GPX-File from Locus into Basceamp I get an error in Basecamp (saying there is something wrong with the gpx file). This doesn't happen when I use Locus 3.3.1.


I found that the reason for the error is in line 10 of the gpx file (see below):

  1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
  2. <gpx version="1.1" creator="Locus Android"
  3. xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1"
  4. xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  5. xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd"
  6. xmlns:gpxx="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/GpxExtensions/v3"
  7. xmlns:gpxtrkx="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/TrackStatsExtension/v1"
  8. xmlns:gpxtpx="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/TrackPointExtension/v2"
  9. xmlns:locus="http://www.locusmap.eu">
  10. <desc>File with points/tracks from Locus Pro/3.4.0</desc>
  11. <trk>
  12. <name>2014-11-16 12:31:50</name>
  13. <desc><![CDATA[2h:19m:06s | 28.7 km]]></desc>
  14. ...

If I remove line 10 I can import the file into Baseacmp without errors.


Best regards

Alexander

Good day Alexander,


thank you for your reports, it's of course correct.


Issue is now fixed and will work as expected in next Locus version.

Hi

I use Locus pro 3.42.0 - same Issue.

Is it already fixed, or a new mistake?

How can I open gpx files to correct it by myself as Alexander did?

I tryed Editor, but do not see any text.


Edit:

Excuse me, now I saw, the gpx-file has 0 bytes, therefore the Windows-Editor showes nothing.

I tried it soemtimes with different tracks. Any Ideas?

Best Regards

Walter

Hello Walter,

it more looks like a problem caused by copying content from your device to the PC. I may only suggest using some cloud service (Dropbox, Google Drive) as I know, that MTP protocol causes some problems from time to time.

Hello

Many Thanks for this helpful tipp!

Its laborious, but it works!

I have copied a lot between PC and smartphone, including gpx files. But I now have a new smartphone (CAT S61), is this also solved for other smartphones with this protocol?
