+riffraff9000 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 So, I notice that there's an option for PQs, GPX 1.0 and GPX 1.0.1. Try searching for it. Even quoted as "GPX 1.0.1", the silly search engine here renders that as "GPX 101." So I get a bunch of beginners' threads. How do I find out the difference between the two GPX formats, 1.0 and 1.0.1? And why is the search engine here so incredibly lame? Quote Link to comment

Attributes apparently I Googled "gpx versions" and found Differences in GPX 1.0, 1.01, and 1.1 What are they????? PS "gpx versions" seems to work on the forum search engine as well Edited February 29, 2012 by Huntleigh Quote Link to comment
+larryc43230 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 And why is the search engine here so incredibly lame? Most search engines, including in most cases Google, ignore most punctuation marks, including periods (or decimal points or whatever). It's not just this search engine. --Larry Quote Link to comment

When version 1.0.1 was introduced with the attributes in the gpx files some units choked and bricked when fed the version 1.0.1 gpx. The version 1.0, which is what we originally had, does not have attributes and it was brought back so those that had units that could not deal with attributes could be loaded. Quote Link to comment
+riffraff9000 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Cool. Thanks, everyone. So, am I correct in thinking my eTrex 20 cannot display these attributes? I switched my preferences to 1.0.1, and downloaded a PQ, but I don't see any difference. Quote Link to comment
+The Frosties! Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 your 20 should take all the data generated by 1.0.1 Quote Link to comment
+dfx Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Just adding that GPX 1.0.1 isn't really GPX 1.0.1, but rather GPX 1.0 with the Groundspeak extensions version 1.0.1. And no, Garmins can't handle attributes natively. There's some tricks you can pull to make them visible (convert them to text and put them into a description or a fake log entry etc).
