GPX Import into SA - How To Guide (Android)

[surfboomerang]

I am on v 3.51.00.
Unfortunately after a reinstall of the app, still the same issue. I think I’ll just wait until the next update

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@surfboomerang can you try es file expoler

[Mff73]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
I use ES explorer, and I can choose almost all my apps to try to open à file, except SA.

When I see a good activity in Strava (usually for bike) I:

1. add /export_gpx to Strava url
2. Download GPX
3. Open with Solid Explorer
4. Import route in SA

Same here with ES File explorer.
For the record: I am on Android 6.

The only problem I’m facing is the never-ending save process on this “imported” routes that can result in several duplicates (when you try to save again)

edit : It seems that in fact the “save” works, but the spinning wheel keeps spinning and the “issue” is global and not only related to “imported” routes

@stromdiddily @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Can the title be changed to indicate Android as this is not possible for iOS? or tagged as I am sure many will work at reading through prior to figuring this out.

Thanks, from an envious iPhone user! @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

I can confirm it works fine. And the greatest thing is that when you have both iOS and Android phone, you can import the route on Android and then sync it via App on iOS as the route appears in both Apps (so no need to pair your watch with different app). I suppose the import feature will be soon available on iOS as well but it is nice to have

[Florian Blondeau]

A great new !!

It’s a really usefull functionnality that missed.
One question however: it seems that waypoint added on the route disappears when opening the .gpx file in SA.
And I did not found the way to add or create waypoints on route directly on the route editor in SA.

That’s too bad for now. The ETA or ETE to waypoints fields on the watch are still useless.

Maybe soon in a new update ?

[surfboomerang]

Am I missing a button?
How can I import a route from gpx?

[Zdeněk Hruška]

@surfboomerang Maybe read the first comment here. I suppose that is the way how to do it.

[Jonathan Newby]

@surfboomerang me too been looking.

No button, you must download GPX file and try to open it from your file explorer and, if questioning, ordering to open with SA.

[Jonathan Newby]

@ColdBeer I thought it was something new. I did that with mine last week.

[Zdeněk Hruška]

@Jonathan-Newby Yeah me too. But now it’s maybe official? Or I don’t know However I haven’t found any other option

[surfboomerang]

Even after the 3.53 update the Suunto App still isn’t selectable as Open With… app for me. Tried several file explorers, but no luck.

I mentioned it in another thread and got asked to post about it. Seems like it only works for some which may be why it was kept under wraps
