OsmAnd format for POI

[ZeljkoBG]

I suggest that OsmAnd have its own format for creating or importing custom POI, to leave GPX.
A new format to have more options. If you can add your own icons...

NO !!!
The gpx format is interchangeable, this is very big advantage !
It is better to add new tags, for additional features if they are not commonly known.

The GPX format is 100 years old and contains nothing but coordinates. That's why many (one man GPS) use it because it's simple.
Navigations have either their own format or some 'more complex'.

@ZeljkoBG
An example of a kmz (zipped kml) track that shows icons as well as a photo. After import into GE and Locus map plus the gpx viewer app they are presented. See attachment. Remove .txt
BOM_KMZ.kmz.txt
Using gpz (zipped gpx) this can also be done very easily and additionally it allows to add and use a performant and super simple and flexible to use 100% faithfull true track TBT navigation mode.

Sorry, I need clarification on BOM_KMZ.kmz

1. You propose this as an idea
   or
2. Your BOM_KMZ.kmz file works

2. It works by the GE known standard.

How to add BOM_KMZ.kmz to OsmAnd? I miss that information.

OsmAnd does not support ! Test it in the apps that accept the format.
