Import GPX Tracks and Waypoints

GPX Import: Bring Your Trails Into TrailNote

GPX is a common format for routes and waypoints. Importing lets you reuse tracks from devices and other apps.

Before you import

  • Pick the correct project first
  • Decide whether the GPX contains routes, markers, or both

Keep imports clean

  • If your GPX has many tiny segments, consider consolidating first
  • Rename routes after import so they are discoverable later

Plan limits

Imports are validated server-side. If an import would push you beyond your plan's marker or route limits, TrailNote blocks it and tells you what exceeded.

FAQ

Why did my import fail? The file may be empty, too large, or exceed plan limits.

Can I import GPX from Garmin or Strava? Yes, as long as you export a standard GPX file.
