Lokimaps imports standard GPX tracks, routes, and waypoints. Imported items appear under Bookmarks, where you can organise them into folders and choose whether they are visible on the map.

Import from BookmarksImport from Bookmarks

  1. Open Bookmarks .
  2. Open the Actions menu and choose Import GPX .
  3. Select one .gpx file in the iOS file picker.
  4. Review the tracks, routes, and bookmarks found in the file.
  5. Choose Import into to select a destination folder.
  6. Set Show on map as wanted, then select Import.

You can also open a GPX file from Files, Mail, or another app and choose Lokimaps from the iOS share or open-in options.

Export one itemExport one item

  1. Open a bookmark, saved route, or recorded track under Bookmarks.
  2. Choose Share GPX .
  3. Use the iOS share sheet to save the file, send it, or open it in another compatible app.

GPX exports can contain sensitive location history, timestamps, elevations, and folder names. Review what the file contains and who will receive it before sharing.

Export a folderExport a folder

  1. Open the folder under Bookmarks. To export everything, stay at the top level.
  2. Open the Actions menu.
  3. Choose Share as GPX .
  4. Select a destination in the iOS share sheet.

A folder export includes supported bookmarks, saved routes, and tracks inside that folder and its subfolders. Lokimaps adds folder-path information to its own GPX exports so that structure can be restored when the file is imported back into Lokimaps. Other apps may ignore that optional extension.

If an import looks incompleteIf an import looks incomplete

GPX is an exchange format with many vendor-specific extensions. Lokimaps imports standard waypoints, routes, tracks, names, timestamps, track-point elevations, and track segments when present, but app-specific styling or proprietary data may not transfer. Imported and older routes normally do not contain Lokimaps Route Planner waypoints or routing-mode data, so Edit in Route Planner is not offered for them.

See Bookmarks and saved items for organising imported items, Record a track for creating a new track, or Route Planner for creating a saved route.
