Just to understand where you are.

Is the route already saved in a file? What type of file is it?

https://my.viewranger.com/route/details/NzA4NjA=?ref=53.71644100426764|-3.8531179999999923|5

On the signpost button top left, chose your area, then select an icon representing a route  

some you have to purchase, some are free to download, it depends on who shared it

. but there is a download option.

thanks tribey that seems to just allow me to download the route within the app.

i want the gpx so i can edit it

the route i am trying to use is one you purchase but is free

no worries thanks for trying

i am new to viewranger so learning. would be nice to just extend the route i have found but i will write my own

Yes, It seems you cannot get the actual .gpx from the webpage.

I've tried creating a route in VR, but I didn't find it user friendly, so I've always createdroutes in MM and save as .gpx.

 i am the same

but the phone is easier to use for navigation on the bicycle so VR is good for that

From memory, I thought that only edited the title. So it edits the actual route too?

I don't plan routes on VR, only follow routes and record tracks. But I've just logged into my online account, chosen a free shared route, and there is a 'Menu' option to 'Export to gpx' Therefore I can download and edit it.

Not sure if you can do this with your chosen route or not Roger.

It is possible to edit/extend it......

 

download then click 3 dots top right and show on map.

then press on route and you should have option to edit.

 is this on phone app or web page ?

 Phone

thanks JT that does allow me to edit the route but only on the phone and not on the website.

but it does not allow me to save it other than a modified copy on my phone :(

just seems to be an extra layer of protection on this routes somehow.

it is someone elses existing route on viewranger.

i can view it and i can access it on the phone to follow it

i cannot "save" it , export it or edit it

i would like to save as gpx so i can edit it slightly and then share with a mate before we ride it.
