NAVGPS

How-To

Send a route to one person or a whole group

There are two different things people mean by sharing a track: handing it to someone you know, and putting it where strangers can find it. NavGPS does both, and keeps them separate.

Before you start

  • Cloud sync turned on

Steps

  1. Open the track
    Tracks tab → tap the one you want.
  2. Share it privately
    Use Share to send it to a group or one person. The track syncs first, because the share points at the cloud copy rather than at your phone.
  3. Or publish it
    Publish to Trail Library puts it on navgps.app/trails with a title, description and activity type, where anyone can preview and download it.
  4. Check the inbox
    Tracks other people shared with you arrive on the Community tab, ready to download into your own library.
The NavGPS Trail Library listing published routes
Published routes are browsable by anyone, in the app and on the web.

Worth knowing

  • Exporting GPX is the third option, and the one that needs no account at all.
