Import a track into CoMaps
This is a step-by-step guide to adding a track to CoMaps. The screenshots show how to do it on an iPhone using Safari. The procedure is much the same on Android.
We suggest downloading and importing the tracks well before Elfsborgsmarschen, so you don’t have to fiddle with it on the morning of the march, when you’re in a hurry to set off.
Choose your track
Open the browser on your phone. Visit the page with all the tracks. Find the track you want to import into CoMaps. Tap the GPX ↓ button next to the track’s map.
Download the GPX file
Allow the GPX file to download to your phone.
Open CoMaps
Close the browser and open CoMaps instead.
Open favourites
At the bottom of the screen you’ll see four buttons. The third button from the left has two stars and three lines, representing places and tracks respectively. Tap it.
Import favourites
Tap the option to import favourites.
Select the downloaded file
Find the downloaded file. If you used Safari in steps ① and ② above, you can tap Recents at the bottom of the screen. Tap the downloaded file to select it.
Confirm the import
A box appears to tell you that the bookmarks have been imported. Close it by tapping OK.
Close favourites
Tap the arrow in the top-left corner to close the favourites panel and see the map.
Check the track
Check that the track is showing. While you’re at it, zoom in and pan around to take a look at the track.
Tip
An alternative way to add the track is to find the file in Files (iOS) or My Files (Android), tap it, then choose Share (iOS) or Open with (Android), and select CoMaps.
