-====== The .GPX file format support in AlpineQuest ======
-AlpineQuest is almost fully compatible with the standard GPX format.
-{{:icon_help.png?nolink}} Prior to version 1.3.8, the GPX format is used by default when saving landmarks or exporting tracks.
-As of version 1.3.8, a new default format is used, specially defined for AlpineQuest needs, featuring:
-  * Extremely fast saving and loading times;
-  * Barometric and accuracy data compatible (GPX is not);
-  * Areas compatible (GPX is not);
-  * Colors and styles compatible (GPX is not);
-  * Track statistics preview;
-  * Small saved size (compared to GPX and KML format);
-  * Extensible.
-However, the GPX format is still supported, and has even been improved, since it's now possible to copy/cut/paste landmarks to and from GPX files.
-===== How to create GPX landmarks =====
-GPX landmarks must be created in GPX files. You can either click on an existing GPX file to open it, or create a new one:
-  * Display the landmarks sub-menu and select "''**Explore landmark**''" {{:icon_02.png?nolink}};
-  * At the bottom of the Landmarks Explorer window, select the "''**+**''" menu item;
-  * Choose to create a new "''**GPX File**''" {{:icon_08.png?nolink}}.
-If needed, click on the newly created GPX file to open it. Then, select the "''**+**''" {{:icon_09.png?nolink}} menu item again to add GPX landmarks.

-===== How to convert landmarks to the GPX format =====
-You can convert waypoints, routes and tracks to the GPX format from AlpineQuest using the copy/paste feature.
-  * Open the AlpineQuest Landmarks Explorer;
-  * Long-click on a landmark and select the "''**Copy**''" context menu item;
-  * Browse an existing GPX file or create a new one;
-  * Click on the "''**Clipboard**''" bottom menu item;
-  * Select "''**Paste**''".
-The landmark is converted to the GPX format and the file automatically saved.
-{{:icon_help.png?nolink|}} If you select "''**Cut**''" instead of "''**Copy**''", the original landmark is deleted.

-===== How to export tracks in GPX format =====
-  * From the GPS Location Tracker window, click on the "''**Export**''" button;
-  * If desired, enter a name and a description for your track;
-  * Check the "''**GPX**''" export format option {{:icon_08.png?nolink}};
-  * Click on the "''**OK**''" button to proceed to the export.
-The track will be exported in a GPX file in the AlpineQuest landmarks folder (by default '''/sdcard/alpinequest/landmarks/''').
