-====== The .GPX file format support in AlpineQuest ====== +===== How to create GPX landmarks? =====
- +
-AlpineQuest is almost fully compatible with the standard GPX format. +
- +
-{{:icon_help.png?nolink}} Prior to version 1.3.8, the GPX format is used by default when saving landmarks or exporting tracks. +

-As of version 1.3.8, a new default format is used, specially defined for AlpineQuest needs, featuring: +
-  * Extremely fast saving and loading times; +
-  * Barometric and accuracy data compatible (GPX is not); +
-  * Areas compatible (GPX is not); +
-  * Colors and styles compatible (GPX is not); +
-  * Track statistics preview; +
-  * Small saved size (compared to GPX and KML format); +
-  * Extensible. +
- +
-However, the GPX format is still supported, and has even been improved, since it's now possible to copy/cut/paste landmarks to and from GPX files. +
