Richard, what is the name of the magazine please? Perhaps it is quite obvious, but will save me trying to figure out. Thank you.

It’s a German periodical magazine, which I subscribe to (ie pay for) via the United Kiosk app, available for Apple and Android devices. The periodical is a spin-off from the German, Motorrad magazine.
I used to use the same app to subscribe to Tourenfarrer magazine, but I can now get it (along with other German motorcycle magazines, like Motorrad) for ‘free’ via Readly.
I don’t speak German but a map is a map (they are very good quality) and a GPX download, is a GPX download. As a basic rule, I download the GPX files as ‘tracks’, simply as these should be more faithful to the original. Whilst I don’t speak German, it doesn’t take too much imagination to picture what the articles are about. I’ve also learnt some basic words, too.
The periodical magazine is high quality, as are many of the German publications. For all its avowed love of touring and motorcycles, the UK publications lag far behind. Why? I don’t know, but I guess it might be as simple there is no demand in the UK?

Most Excellent!!! Thank you Richard. I will have ganders.
Via a bit of imagination, I have managed to download the GPX files (for free) from all the past issues, too.
Will I ever use them all? No, of course not. But they have sometimes come in handy to help others and / or just to look at.
