Importing Extended Waypoint Info From GPX POI Files

Post by Yemble »

Every few years, I update my CAMRA Good Beer Guide POI file for TomTom and then convert it to various other formats so that all of my GPS apps can use it. The 2015 GBG POI file includes phone numbers for the pubs which are displayed in TomTom. When I use "Extra POI Editor" to convert the TT file to GPX format, the phone number field appears as a WaypointExtension field (see below). Alpine Quest, imports and displays the GPX file correctly, but appears to discard the phone data. Is there any way that this can be retained and displayed in AQ, as it is useful information, especially when reserving meal tables on holiday?

Hi,
I've added this extension, so this field will be imported (and few other ones) using the next version.
Best regards
