ViaMichelin to GPX?

Posts: 337
Hi,
I want to get some new routes from ViaMichelin into my GPS unit. I should be able to do this via GPX files, but ViaMichelin only gives the start and end waypoint and no route between. :roll:
Has anyone managed to save anything from ViaMichelin apart form start and end?
Thx

Looks like you can extract the waypoints using the ViaMichelin api. This example shows you almost everything you need to get the individual points.Oh and please remember to click on my blog:

It seems to produce an itinerary for display on a map - rather than a file you can download.
There's a section with the code for exporting to GPX:

but it's only for exporting single points rather than in itinerary - I can't see anything about how to download and/or export an itinerary.
Still it looks like one to watch and the API does look like a useful route-planning tool. Hopefully someone will pick up the ball and run with it - viaMichelin do good maps.0 -
It doesn't look that difficult to do. I'll have a look tomorrow.
Can you post an example of your gpx so I can see what fields you require for your gps device?Oh and please remember to click on my blog:

The easiest is to look up a track here:
http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/united-kingdom/loughborough/718146712358
which then imports OK (Using EasyGPS) after I save to GPX.
Hope that makes sense!0 -

I could only find the Google Earth export to KML. Could you post a snippet of the GPX please.
The ViaMichelin API is broken at the moment ant they are not letting new people register.
I'll post again when they open up new registrationsOh and please remember to click on my blog:

You should have an "export as GPX" option on the left hand box when selecting - save --> save to GPX.
Here is a bit of code from the file that is created:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <gpx version="1.1" creator="MapMyFitness.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd">

<trkpt lat="52.745870000000004" lon="-1.21218" />
<trkpt lat="52.74763" lon="-1.2127100000000002" />
<trkpt lat="52.74761" lon="-1.21235" />
<trkpt lat="52.74772" lon="-1.2121000000000002" />

<trkpt lat="52.74837" lon="-1.2111100000000001" />
and then it gives loads of lat and lon point until the end:
<trkpt lat="52.74763" lon="-1.2127100000000002" />
<trkpt lat="52.745870000000004" lon="-1.21218" />

That's very easy xml to create. Once ViaMichelin comes back I'll see what I can do.
In the meantime I could create that on www.tomtracks.com if you are interested.

Hi
I had a very nice man from ViaMichelin telephone me today.
Bad news though they have dropped the free api so it does not look as if I can create a website using ViaMichelin.

ViaMichelin Customer Service emailed me saying a new version of the api should be available on the 17th Feb. I'll let you know what happens.

there's plenty of mapping sites that can export to gpx, why does it have to be viamichelin?0

(I'm guessing). Because ViaMichelin offer a cycle-routing option?0
