I have noticed a couple of minor issues in Bluestacks compared to a 'normal' install on my Android tablet, namely theme thumbnails missing, (I did see a post relating to that somewhere), doesn't affect operation and Bluestacks is less hassle for importing jpg/png files being on my PC - have to use Google Drive on my tablet. Found a site last night that may solve the KML file issues I have been getting, I've been using Google Earth, which apparently leaves out certain info when exporting to KML which would explain why they don't work even when converted to GPX.... will post back the results either way.
 
Now i tried everything i read in all Posts about importing files into the TPE CourseMaker.
But nothing happens in my Bluestacks emulator.
I can create track and store them to PSN for sure. But there seems to be no way to make those GPX File work ...
Is something wrong with my file ?
Can anybody create this track ?

I propose you do the same as I did with my real existing track rebuilds:
I would print the KalthofMap.jpg on a transparent foil (make sure you have one (or more) metre-scales somewhere on the picture that phows the scale!), then you lay that foil on your tablet, zoom in until the scale on the foil matches the scale in TPE, and then, with an S-Pen (Android-Tablet!) you can draw your track through the transparent foil.
It may be necessary to adjust the placement of the foil several times during the process, but make sure that you do never ever again zoom in or out on the tablet once the scales have matched.
I did exactly that with my tracks "Wiener Höhenstraße" and that even became "Track of the Week", so the method cannot be so bad.
You can not, however, get the real elevations as they would be on the real road, and the template would be "Eifel" (NOT "Eifel Flat"!).
Here are the pictures from which I worked my way along (just to give you an idea, but it's hard work!).
