====== How to import landmarks? ====== | |
\\ | |
The application allows you to import landmarks from ''***.gpx**'', ''***.kml**'', ''***.kmz**'', ''***.plt**'', ''***.wpt**'' and ''***.loc**'' files: | |
* Click on the ''"**Landmarks**"'' {{:icon_01.png?nolink}} menu icon and on ''"**Explore landmark**"'' {{:icon_02.png?nolink}}. The default landmark folder is listed; | |
* Select the folder in which the file to import is located. If needed, click on the top left drawer menu {{:icon_03.png?nolink}} to list the main folders of your device. For example, click on ''"**My downloads**"'' {{:icon_04.png?nolink}} to select the folder ''"**/storage/emulated/0/Download/**"''. | |

| |
\\ | |
| |
* Once the file to import is displayed {{:icon_05.png?nolink}}, click on it to start the import; | |
* Wait some time for the file to be imported (which depends on the file size); | |
* When the file is imported, you can: | |
* Select ''"**Browse**"'' {{:icon_06.png?nolink}} to list the content of the imported file, for example to display only few items; | |
* Select ''"**Display**"'' {{:icon_07.png?nolink}} to display the entire file content on the map. | |

===== Import options (choose import folder and charset) ===== | |
\\ | |
By default, the application will import files to the import folder and use the device charset. In order to choose something different: | |
* Instead of clicking on the file to import, long-press it or click on its icon {{:icon_01.png?nolink}}; | |
* In its actions menu, select ''"**Import...**"'' {{:icon_02.png?nolink}}; | |
* If needed, click on the default import folder {{:icon_03.png?nolink}} and choose the current one; | |
* If needed, click on the default charset {{:icon_04.png?nolink}} and choose the one of the file; | |
* Click on ''"**Ok**"'' {{:icon_05.png?nolink}} to start the import using the chosen settings. | |

====== How to export landmarks? ====== | |
\\ | |
To export a landmark in another format and use it in an external application: | |
* Click on a displayed landmark on the map (here for example a track) {{:icon_01.png?nolink}} and on its name {{:icon_02.png?nolink}}; | |
* Select ''"**Export as...**"'' {{:icon_03.png?nolink}}; | |
| |
In the list of available export formats, select the one that best fits the external application you want to use, for example ''"**GPX**"'' which offers a very good compatibility. | |
| |
{{ :en:help:v2:landmarks:local-export-gen-1.jpg?nolink }} | |
\\ | |
* Alternatively, to export a landmark from the landmarks explorer, long-press it or click on its icon {{:icon_05.png?nolink}} to display a similar menu; | |
| |
Once the landmark has been exported, the full path of the exported file {{:icon_06.png?nolink}} is displayed. | |
* Click on ''"**Open**"'' {{:icon_07.png?nolink}} to open the file with a compatible application installed on your device; | |
* Click on ''"**Share**"'' {{:icon_08.png?nolink}} to share the file (send it as email, upload it on Dropbox, etc.), available actions {{:icon_10.png?nolink}} depend on the applications installed on your device; | |
* Click on ''"**Ok**"'' {{:icon_09.png?nolink}} to close the dialog. | |
| |
{{:icon_help.png?nolink}} Be careful when trying to access the exported file from a computer using an USB cable, Android takes time to update the file list of your device, and newly created ones may not be immediately visible. | |
