But whenever I upload a gpx-file, to turn it into a route for a pocket query, the gpx-file gets over-simplified, the number of points is for example reduced from 500 to just 16!

This means that the route isn’t very precise, so I need to use a larger search radius around the route, to make sure the route is covered, which defeats the point in having this function, since I would (being on bike) prefer only caches that are very close to my route.

Summary: It would be great if the uploaded gpx-files aren simplified anymore!
