Ability to import/convert tracks/lines from other devices into My Tracks

imfabs

I love the ability to just tick "My Tracks" on any map and see all of the places I've been before and when. But I don't really want to record things with my phone for various reasons. That's what I use my sports watch for. I can get that data out as gpx or whatever and import into caltopo, but then it's just a line and I can't use the "My Tracks" checkbox.

    It's something we've talked about and I definitely understand the value of allowing imports into "your tracks".  I can't tell you if/when we'd be able to justify getting around to it vs other priorities, but I wanted to respond and let you know that we understand why that would be useful.

    Would be a super handy feature to use another device and keep from draining phone battery on gps.

    This would also provide a solution for tracks recorded with a phone where the phone lost gps signal for one reason or another, causing straight lines on the track. Export the track, fix the issue, re-import as a track.
