Hi,

I'm trying to import a GPX file. According to the documentation : Simply go to the Places home page on the website here - Places and open the Private Places section where you'll find the GPX install, download, & delete options.

I don't have a 'Private Places' section. I'm assuming it should read 'Personal Places' ? And I don't see the 'GPX install, download, & delete options'.

I've tried 2 different browsers, and on my iPhone.

Please Refer to the Tracking and Track Logs Help Guide - you do it in app.

Thanks, I probably should have been clearer in my original post. I'm trying to import individual waypoints, not a track log. Is this the same process now?

I tried as suggested anyway and get a 'A processing error has occured please try again!'

Even if this had worked, the directions to import a GPX file are incorrect/not working.

Regards,
Stuart

You seem to be referring to old documentation - where did you find this instruction?

The link you gave is an old newsletter dated 2018. All instructions for the Traveller app are the Help Guides. These are inapp (menu - Help Guides) and on the Traveller webpage.

But to import/upload GPX files open the menu then select Upload File.

G'Day Stuart,
I have imported a few GPX waypoint files to the Traveller app.
I have an android & I just double click on the download GPX file without even opening the Traveller App & it asks which app to import to so I choose Traveller & it launches traveller with all the Waypoints named as I did on my Garmin when I exported the file.
It uses generic icons from traveller then I can edit them if need be.
Since it worked so well I actually did not even read the manual. :-)
Not sure how it works on iPhone though.

Cheers
Stu
