I use sky demon on mac and pc (mac via parallels and windows 7). My routes are exported as gpx onto an SD card, then uploaded onto MGL Odyssey (gen1) panels.

This all worked fine until a couple (maybe 3) months ago.

Now the routes won't import...whilst the panel says that the route has been imported, the route doesn't appear anywhere on the system.

I've checked and used routes that were saved before this problem started, and they are still uploaded successfully.

I've tested routes saved on PC and MAC, and neither work any more.

Has something changed in the last few months within skydemon that could be the cause of this?

I've bought new cards, but still no joy. The only thing that makes sense now is that skydemon is saving gpx routes slightly differently than it used to.
Hope you can help!

Thanks. If you get in touch with us by email (ask for your email to be passed along to me) I can remove the elevation elements just to confirm it's those which your device is having difficulty with.

Unfortunately GPX is supposed to be XML based and therefore any failure of a device to cope with these extra attributes in a bug in that device. We can't really justify adding options into SkyDemon to work around bugs in older third-party devices, but there may well be an intermediate step you could take to work around the problem.
