-====== How to import landmarks? ====== 
-\\ 
-The application allows you to import landmarks (waypoints, routes, tracks, areas) from various file formats (including GPX, KML, KMZ, WPT, LOC) and display them on the map: 
-  * 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.
