My understanding is they blame google for the problems, but they need to come up with fixes that don't involve laborious checking.
I have often though of upgrading, but I avoid that for buggy programs.
A while back, maybe a year or two, I opined that the easy to use Mapfactor Navigator app could import RWGPS routes but it burned me because I couldn't find it and retracted. Now I think it may be an option hidden by "GPS record", which of course you'd miss since you want to "import", not "record". I don't know about the flaws on the RWGPS site, but I'll check the Navigator app and report back if that actually does work after all.
Edited: it CAN work with Mapfactor Navigator! click on the file downloaded on the phone, and it imports into Navigator app under "My Routes" (when it works. if it doesn't work, it's under "record/replay" and will show the track but won't navigate) From there I can "load" and then "navigate". The advantage being that Navigator is easy to use (compared to Osmand) and isn't as big a memory hog.
