<p>To make this happen you have to transfer
the tracks and waypoints in a GPX file to the right place.
<p>If you are really lazy (or really a beginner) you can use the simple upload method, but there are some
unavoidable complexities in getting the GPX file out of your device.
<p>For most people, the simplest way to achieve this is described in the <a href="#simplegpx">simplified upload instructions</a> below. If this does not work for you, try the <a href="#generalgpx">general upload instructions</a> further down the page.

<h3>TEMPORARY FIX 2022</h3>
<p>The form to make this easy is not yet written [March 2022]. So use the <a href="/photoupload/">Photo Upload Form</a> which
temporarily will also work for GPX files.

<p>Based on an Android phone in 2024.</p>
<ul>
<li>Connect your phone to a laptop in USB mass storage mode ("File transfer" option in Android).</li>
<li>Locate the GPX file in the folder that should have popped up representing your phone storage. For a clean OsmAnd installation on Android in 2024, GPX files can be found in: <pre>/Internal shared storage/Android/data/net.osmand/files/tracks/rec</pre></li>
<li>Copy the file to a temporary location on the laptop</li>
<li>Go to the <a href="/gpxupload">GPX upload form</a>. Log in with the usual <i>cave:beer</i> password.</li>
<li>If there is already a propsepctor directory listed in your name, navigate to it. Otherwise create one in the same format using the form at the bottom of the page first.</li>
<li>Browse to your GPX file, rename it to something sensible (all lower case names preferred) and press Upload.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Editing your tracks</h3>
We would much rather have any track than nothing at all: any weirdness can be fixed later. But if you really want to edit out th eglitches yourself, the online GPX editor <a href="https://gpx.studio/about.html">GPX Studio</a> is very good. Or you can download <a href="https://activityworkshop.net/software/gpsprune/">GPSprune</a> to your laptop (it's a java app) and run it locally.
