Re: Can't Download a Walk

I'll try to explain what GPX files are. Walkhighlands provides GPX files. On their own, these files contain datapoints but they don't do anything at all. If you don't have some sort of app that uses GPX files to open them, then your phone may not even let you download such files; certainly you won't...

Re: Can't Download a Walk

It's a GPX file - you can only open it with an app that can handle GPX files.

Our own app is much simpler and handles all the files behind the scenes without you having to do it.

Re: Can't Download a Walk

You can't open the file I suspect because your phone doesn't know what app it can use to open it. You could just try opening the file from whatever app you are wanting to open it in.

Re: GPS Planner Height Calculations

I tried thresholding yesterday and it doesn't help with mountainous terrain like this as the steep gradients involved on this sort of terrain mean that thresholds like those described in the article would never apply between points as close together as you can plot. You are on to something with your...

Re: GPS Planner Height Calculations

Thanks - I'll put some more thought into this and hopefully improve further by trying thresholding - without messing up different examples.

Re: GPS Planner Height Calculations

Thanks, hopefully the results are now more sensible / consistent. I'm not certain whether thresholding would improve the GPS planner on here, since it is intended to smooth the jitter/wobble in recorded GPS tracks with frequent points. With our GPS planner you can't look at data recorded from a GPS,...

Re: GPS Planner Height Calculations

Thanks for spotting this and reporting - sorry it's taken so long to look into. There was a problem with the algorithm in that if points were closer than 80m apart then the ascent between those points was incorrectly given as zero - so plotting closer together gave less ascent, or zero if all your p...

Re: User routes?

It isn't possible with the Walkhighlands app, which is specifically for our curated and checked routes.

Re: Can't Download a Walk

Hi Andy, the post above was about using our own Walkhighlands app which natively downloads walks. It sounds like you are not using that, you are using an alternative, the "OS Maps" app and downloading GPX files from Walkhighlands to your phone. We have never changed this but have no contro...

Re: Access from Dalwhinnie station

With a bike, I agree the underpass route is not a problem - but lots of folk don't have a bike (or if they do, a bike rack). It isn't Network Rail that have locked the far platform gate (as I understand it). We'll keep updating when we have more - it's impossible to keep everyone happy with a route ...

Re: Can't Download a Walk

Apologies. This occurs when a phone lost connection and got a corrupted file when downloading - it blocks you downloading again. The fix is to open Chrome browser, and clear history (you don't need to clear passwords etc). This should delete everything downloaded to the app and restore functionality...

Re: App login glitch?

The maps in the app are the Walkhighlands maps which combine Ordnance Survey contours and topography with path data from other datasets. The final zoom level in the app is actually more zoomed in than OS Explorer for additional clarity. Login does not affect this.
