I’m having trouble with my iPhone and the GPX files in the new route guides,I’ve tried from both the website and the QR code in the magazine. When I download them they look like they are just text maybe HTML? When I click on them then click ‘open with’ it says no apps available. If I try to import from the OS app the file appears faint and not clickable. I downloaded another GPX viewer app to try importing to that with exactly the same result. I’m not at all techy so any suggestions welcome.
cheers Russ
Is this all the files, or just the Long Mynd one on the last issue? That was definitely broken - it contains the raw data but none of the xml tags that programs need to make sense of it. It was reported, but I don't know if it was ever fixed. Mark uploaded a working version to ViewGPX https://singletrackworld.com/forum/off-topic/stw-167/#post-13746942
It’s the Calderdale route too. Interestingly I followed that link to the one Mark posted and I get exactly the same result with that too, just like a text document that I can’t open or import. I’m a bit lost!

Actually GPX files are text files - you can open them with a text editor. If it won't load into an appropriate mapping app it's probably a faulty file.
