In addition, any intermediate destinations are also coded in to the route as a route point and as such their importance is lost.

A more productive GPX export would be to code the path as a GPX Track where point count is not as limited and code the Start, Stop and Intermediate Destinations as GPX Waypoints there by preserving their importance to the route on any GPX capable device.
