[suggestion] Add "Download route as GPX" to osm.org

General talk

Hello,

After creating a route in www.openstreetmap.org, the site has a link that says “Download route as GeoJSON”.

Since GPS applications often use GPX, I suggest adding that option.

Cheers,

In short Leaflet, which powers the route visualisation, natively supports GeoJSON output, so it can be directly passed onto the user.

Supporting GPX or KML means needing to disassemble and reassemble the route, and bringing all the tools to do that.

In the short term graphhoppers website has that option.
