-====== How to import landmarks? ====== 
-\\ 
-The application allows you to import landmarks from ''***.gpx**'', ''***.kml**'', ''***.kmz**'', ''***.plt**'', ''***.wpt**'' and ''***.loc**'' files: 
-  * Tap 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, tap on the top left menu {{:icon_03.png?nolink}} to list the main folders of your device. For example, tap 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}}, tap 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: 
-    * Choose ''"**Browse**"'' {{:icon_06.png?nolink}} to list the content of the imported file, for example to display only few items; 
-    * Choose ''"**Display**"'' {{:icon_07.png?nolink}} to display the entire file content on the map.

-===== Import options ===== 
-\\ 
-By default, the application will import files to the import folder and use the device charset. In order to choose something different: 
-  * Instead of tapping on the file to import, long-tap it or tap on its icon {{:icon_01.png?nolink}}; 
-  * In the menu, choose ''"**Import...**"'' {{:icon_02.png?nolink}}; 
-  * If needed, change the import ''"**Folder**"'' {{:icon_03.png?nolink}} to choose the current one; 
-  * If needed, change the ''"**Elevations**"'' {{:icon_04.png?nolink}} to choose the unit used in the file (either ''"**WGS84**"'' for GPS elevations, or ''"**EGM96**"'' for geoid elevations); 
-  * If needed, change the ''"**Charset**"'' {{:icon_05.png?nolink}} to choose the one of the file; 
-  * If needed, check ''"**Download external content**"'' {{:icon_06.png?nolink}} so the application will try to download content stored on Internet (like icons and pictures); 
-  * Tap on ''"**Ok**"'' {{:icon_07.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: 
-  * Tap on a displayed landmark on the map (here for example a track) {{:icon_01.png?nolink}} and on its name {{:icon_02.png?nolink}}; 
-  * Choose ''"**Export as...**"'' {{:icon_03.png?nolink}}; 
- 
-In the list of available export formats, choose the one that best fits the external application you want to use, for example ''"**GPX**"'' which offers a very good compatibility.

-\\ 
- 
-  * Alternatively, to export a landmark from the landmarks explorer, long-tap it or tap 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. 
-  * Tap on ''"**Share**"'' {{:icon_07.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; 
-  * Tap on ''"**Open**"'' {{:icon_08.png?nolink}} to open the file with a compatible application installed on your device; 
-  * Tap 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.
