Automatic Creation of Routes

Post by Newbie »

Is there a way for Google Maps or another google app to be configured on my Android phone to automatically track and create a route for me?

Currently, we do not have an Android app for our site. We hope to release an Android app soon. We will also add a feature to import GPX track files from other devices.

An import feature for GPX files will be available soon. Do your GPS watches have the ability to export to the GPX file format?

Sorry, we don't have any updates. Were you looking for GPX file import or a mobile GPS tracking app?

Hi there, I'd like to know where you guys are at in regards to the capability to load routes by means of a GPX file. Thank you.
P.S.: is there any way of entering each point of a route by the GPS coordinates, not only the first one?

Sorry, we haven't implemented the feature yet. We have had a number of requests for the feature so we will take another look at getting this scheduled.

The "Find" feature isn't designed to enter a coordinate in your route. Instead, it marks the location with a yellow marker. To search for lat/long coordinates, you can enter the coordinate in the "Location" search box and click "Find". After searching for a location, click a location close to the yellow marker and then click and drag the red marker on top of the yellow marker.

Another vote for this. The other day I was following a route on Gmap through a large forest with very poor trail markings. It would have been very helpful to be able to import a GPX file into my Garmin, which would then show the trail route no matter the online connectivity. I understand I am responsible for myself and it all worked out fine in the end, it would just be a very useful feature.
