I should add that I thoroughly enjoyed looking at the wonderful possibilities that were suggested and I learned a LOT about tracks and how they can be modified. Your efforts did not go to waste, as I spent many an afternoon trying out every suggestion. I think of it as an intriguing rabbit hole...
Thanks for asking! In the interest of enjoying the camino and not being frustrated every afternoon by what my phone won't do, I've decided to put up the wikiloc tracks each day as is, and wait to edit them on the computer when I get home. It'll make the walking days much more enjoyable, with...
What did you do to get the waymarks to show up in your track? I tried importing one of my wikiloc tracks having checked the box on the wikiloc download step to include the waypoints, but they didn't transfer to OsmAnd.
Thanks, Rick. I'll try it out. The crucial part is whether it is usable on the iPhone. Anything that requires double clicks on the computer stumps me on the iPhone because I can't double click. I've tried a long hold as a replacement for a double click (I've read that sometimes works) on the...
Many thanks to all three of you for the info and the laugh. I also love Gaia and use it extensively, but as far as I can tell, it will only snip a track from the two ends. You can't edit out wanderings in the middle. Last night, I found a web-based editor that I think will work for me (GPX...
I'm looking for an app that I can put on my iPhone to edit gpx tracks while I am in Spain. I specifically need an app that will preserve waypoints in the track I am editing.
I plan to record my track on Wikiloc as I am walking, and will be adding photos and waypoints as I go. At the end of the...
Yay! The problem with the silent switch has happened to me also, so I am glad for the reminder. Thanks for posting the URL for your blog. I’ll be watching!
Oh, that sounds frustrating. You said you checked that notifications are enabled?
Settings > Apps & Notifications > Wikiloc > Notifications
Perhaps if you turn low power mode off?
@peregrina2000, adding to what Rick says above, I think your list is really complete. I believe the downloaded map always popped up automatically for us, but it is good to know the step Rick mentioned with the "Layers" icon just in case. One addition: we always put our phones in airplane mode...
A little more info ... I looked back in my notes and found this clarification. With a Wikiloc premium account you can follow the track offline through the app on your phone, but with a free account, you need cell or wifi to follow a track, and you do it through the website, not the app. I'm not...
That is a good question! Unfortunately, I can't give a reliable answer because I already have a premium membership, and can't test out what it would be like without it. But maybe @Rick of Rick and Peg would test it out for us and let us know.
@Sitkapilgrim - one more thing. There is a difference in features between using the free app and paying for a premium account ($9.99). With the free app you can make and follow your own trails, and you can look at the tracks recorded by other people, but to follow the tracks recorded by other...
Hi @Sitkapilgrim. I'm taking a guess here, but what I think you are saying is that you want to open a wikiloc tack and have your blue dot appear on it to show exactly where you currently are on the track. Wikiloc will work perfectly for this IF you are actually on the track. Are you physically...
