    First, the KML must be structured exactly like one for POI.
    A GPX is usually a tracking list, better limited to route / waypoints.
    the KML for route planning is then called up via -> new route -> saved route

    the right Way structure KML;
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.2">
    <Document><name>Name of the route</name>
    <Folder><name>Waypoints</name>
    <Placemark><name>first Waypoint</name>
    ..............................</kml>

    Path:
    iGO_xxxx\Content\Userdata\Route\my_Route1.kml (UTF-8)

    Test KML with:
    googleEarth and polsky POIConverter
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
    an existing Route is saved as .... (default route 001), then under
    iGO_xxx\save\profiles\01\users\00\routes\route001.dat
    Spoiler: further explanation

    the problem: creating a route with googleMap on the PC is done with TomTom-Map and also puts together umpteen waypoints.
    Right; these can be saved as GPX and / or KML.

    If this route (userdata \ Route \ google.KML) is called up under -> New route -> Saved route, an iGO with HERE-Map has its problems, and google.KML is not 100% iGO-compatible.
    Therefore it is better to edit with RouteConverter beforehand and to limit the route to desired waypoints, intermediate and final destinations, i.e. edit. The KML stored in this way for iGO is then compatible and can be safely called up and processed by iGO.

    As a camper, I have already done this every time before my trip under iGO 8.3 and in this way compiled my route to camper sites
    ------------------------------------------------
    das Problem: mit googleMap am PC eine Route erstellen, geschieht mit TomTom-Map und setzt sich auch zig Wegpunkten zusammen.
    Richtig; diese kann man als GPX und/oder KML abspeichern.

    Wird nun diese Route (userdata\Route\google.KML) unter ->Neue Route ->abgespeicherte Route aufgerufen, dann hat ein iGO mit HERE-Map seine Probleme, zudem ist die google.KML nicht 100% iGO-Kompatibel.
    Daher besser mit RouteConverter vorher bearbeiten und die Route auf gewollte Wegpunkte, Zwischen- und Endziel zu begrenzen, also editieren. Die so abgespeicherte KML für iGO ist dann kompatibwel und kann sicher aufgerufen und von iGO verabeitet werden.

    Ich habe das als Camper bereits unter iGO 8.3 jedesmal vor meiner Reise so getan und auf diese Art meine Route nach Camperplätze zusammengestellt

    I've tried this Path: Content\Userdata\Route\waypoints\Trip001.gpx

    Without success.

    Is there a way to show up a GPX file in iGO (PAL), without converting it to KML?

    Do not confuse ROUTE and TRACK

    a ROUTE is made up of waypoints on a route and saved as binary routeXXX.dat in folder save/profiles/XX/routes or in kml format in the folder CONTENT/USERDATA/ROUTE

    a TRACK is a succession of close points recorded in a file trackXXX.trk in folder save/profiles/XX/tracks, comprising in addition to the position: altitude, speed and possibly consumption values.
    igo allows you to directly convert a trk binary to gpx in xml format

    there is a conversion utility for different operating systems ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) in multiple formats at the following address [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
