Our rally organisers have been busy and researched some good green lane routes around the Rally site venue.
(These are large files, so they may take time to download.)

Some have reported problems downloading these .gpx files into the OS Maps app.
Here are the re-worked files which hopefully should upload (they did for me).
1) LR_Rally_BANES_E_220504.gpx file (http://www.series2club.co.uk/new_forum/forum_files/LR_Rally_BANES_E_220504.gpx)
2) LR_Rally_BANES_W_220506(1).gpx file (http://www.series2club.co.uk/new_forum/forum_files/LR_Rally_BANES_W_220506(1).gpx)
3) Shelton_Mallett.gpx file (http://www.series2club.co.uk/new_forum/forum_files/Shepton_Mallett-1.gpx)
Please direct any questions to the Rally organisers.

Rally campsite plan and requests
-
Thanks all.
Is anyone else having trouble importing the GPX Files into OS Maps?
-
I was involved with producing them, and have checked by downloading the files from this website. They worked for me.
-
Hi Tim,
OK. I'll try again later.
OS Maps doesn't seem to like 3 out of the 4 files for me.
Could well be their website. Will report back.
:cheers
James
-
If it's the 'Green Lanes' gpx, it could be because there are a lot of routes on it (78). Suggest you ignore that one and concentrate on the other three - which give the three routes for the rally.
-
Hi Tim,
I've tried again using OS Maps.
I can still only load one of the files. It doesn't like the others.
Do you have an OS Account? Can you check?
James
-
No I don't have an OS account - I tried it for a while - couldn't get it to work to my satisfaction!
It works on Memory Map (I don't have that one) and Garmin Base Camp (which I do have).
Which one works for you - I'll do some investigating.
-
Forgot to say they also work on Trailwise2.
-
OK. Maybe an OS app problem then.
That's the only account I have/use.
If it works on other platforms that is reassuring. 👌
-
Did you try changing the file name?
-
I managed to get the LR Rally BANES E 220504 .gpx file into my OS app.
The other .gpx files wouldn't up load.
What should the filenames be changed to ?
Something shorter and simpler would be good ???
-
I cannot replicate the problem, but according to Google, there have been some problems with the OS app.
Those dashes might be the problem - I don't know what criteria OS needs for file naming - if that is the problem.
All the files open OK for me - I have downloaded the files from the club forum.
I can convert them (using gpsbabel) to another format? Any requests for file extension - I'll send them to Alan or James direct.

Exactly the same as me Alan.
-
... although the OS error message I'm getting implies they are having uploading problems at their end ???
Will keep trying over the next few days.
-
OK, one of our organizers has the OS app, and it works for him (on Apple). He says:
1. Download file and open it - looks like gibberish
2. Then tap export (box with arrow top right).
3. Select OS app logo
4. Shows route, tap import then name the route.
-
Not so easy as that !
With what do we download and open the .gpx in ???
In the OS app there is an import .gpx option - this does not work - except with the LR Rally BANES E 220504.gpx files.
The others won't load, so I wonder what's different with these others ?
(All of James's 6d Handley maps and the Ripon maps were imported straight off.)
Does he mean we open the .gpx file in a text file reader such as Notebook where there is no export option.
I used "Save As" and that didn't work.
Some screen shots of the process would help - because if I am struggling, others certainly will be too.
-
I realise there's a problem - hoping to resolve it.
Someone else in our group downloaded and opened them without a problem.
Apparently on the phone 'open it' gives the option to export it.
I've had a play on the Ordnance Survey web page - by removing the waypoints, I've imported it. Sending you the files via email Alan - I can't put them on the forum.
-
I can confirm that I have successfully managed to open Tim's modified files.
Not sure what happened there, but we have proved that it wasn't a problem with OS. It was something to do with the files. Maybe the number of waypoints?
-
I found that by stripping out the waypoints, the files loaded into the OS desktop application.
I have to assume that the app doesn't like waypoints.
One thing I noticed was that the direction of travel seemed to be missing from the OS app.
Please check.
For information, BANES east is travelled clockwise, the other two anticlockwise.
-
Investigations today found a large tree down on one of the lanes, other minor trees down we were able to clear. As such, a new gpx will be made for the Shepton Mallet loop. Watch this space.

Here are the revised and updated "Shepton Mallett" Rally Green Lane routes.
Please check with Rally Control on the day for the latest updates.

Just some info,
Some (a lot) programs / device’s have a max of 500 waypoints.
-
Waypoints aren't used in the gpx we produced, it's just a track. Just tried it in OS and it works.
-
Just downloaded them with no issues to a proper, if a little elderly GPS, a Garmin Oregon 450.
Looking forward to using them :-)
