How to import a .gpx file to create a route ?
The import of .gpx files is now available on the website and the app!
On the Website
- On the Routes page at Geovelo.app
- Click on the Import GPX button on the left-hand side of the page
- Make sure you select "Import a route"
- Once the file is uploaded, click Import
On the App
From My Favorites
- In the "Routes" tab
- Tap the floating "Add a route" button at the bottom of the screen
- Tap "Browse" to open your file explorer and select the .gpx file
- If prompted, choose Import to create a route
- Enter a title for your route
From My Profile
- In the "Rides" tab
- Tap the blue "+" button at the bottom right
- Tap "Browse" to open your file explorer and select the .gpx file
- Choose Import for activity tracking to add the ride to your stats
From the .gpx file itself:
- Open your file explorer and tap on the .gpx file
- Choose "Open with" → Geovelo
- The file will load directly into the app, and you can choose "Import for activity tracking"
When importing .gpx files, you can import two types of files:
- A route you want to plan/save: choose Import to create a route (you will need to save it to access it later in the app)
- A ride recorded with another app: choose Import for activity tracking (this will add to your statistics)
