You can get a GPS file from anywhere – someone might text, email, or message you a file; you might download it from an event website or export it from another app. There are any number of ways to come across a file. Now, you can Import that file directly to your account – right from your phone!
Save files that have timestamps as recorded rides, or save any file as a planned route. Learn about the difference between the two here.
Easily Import files using the Ride with GPS mobile app.
- Open the file you want to Import,
- Tap the Share feature (from your OS),
- Choose the Ride with GPS mobile app as the destination.
- Follow the prompts to save the file to your Ride History or to your Route Library, and BOOM! It's in your account -- view it, edit it, or Pin it.
Files imported to your account can be saved as recorded rides, if they contain a timestamp (and will be added to your Personal Heatmap); or saved to your library as a navigable route.
