- Routes, Trips and Activities
What is the difference between Routes, Trips and Activities?
A Route is a node route, based on the official node network of nodes and intermediate road sections.
A Trip is a recording of a cycled or walked route, and/or a route with a note taken. (https://www.fietsknoop.nl/info/handleiding-item/89/1)
An Activity is a read-in gpx track. This need not be based on the official node network, this can be made anywhere on the map. It is therefore also possible to read in a gpx file created in a planner other than Fietsknoop.
See https://www.fietsknoop.nl/info/handleiding-item/50/1 and https://www.fietsknoop.nl/info/handleiding-item/160/1
An Activity cannot simply be converted to a Route because there is
- no node information is included in a gpx file
- an Activity can have been created anywhere on the map, without a connection to the official network.
