Hello,

Now that Google has effectively killed its great Google Maps Classic, I migrated to Cycle.travel to draw routes. I might not be the only cyclist to have done so, and have a couple of suggestions:

1. When saving a route as GPX, provide a customized filename instead of cycle_travel.gpx, eg. "Home.to.Wherever.gpx" 

2. Add KML as an option. The application I use on my Android smartphone only supports KML, so I need to first convert the GPX to KML using eg. GPSVisualizer.

Cheers,

Two good ideas - thanks! I'll take a look at adding them.

Both of these are done now.
