 +===== How to create GPX landmarks ? =====
 +
 +GPX landmarks must be created in GPX files. You can either click on an existing GPX file to open it, or create a new one:
 +
 +  * Display the landmarks sub-menu and select "''**Explore landmark**''" {{:icon_02.png?nolink}};
 +  * At the bottom of the Landmarks Explorer window, select the "''**+**''" menu item;
 +  * Choose to create a new "''**GPX File**''" {{:icon_08.png?nolink}}.
 +
 +If needed, click on the newly created GPX file to open it. Then, select the "''**+**''" {{:icon_09.png?nolink}} menu item again to add GPX landmarks.

 +===== How to convert landmarks to the GPX format ? =====
 +
 +You can convert waypoints, routes and tracks to the GPX format from AlpineQuest using the copy/paste feature.
 +
 +  * Open the AlpineQuest Landmarks Explorer;
 +  * Long-click on a landmark and select the "''**Copy**''" context menu item;
 +  * Browse an existing GPX file or create a new one (Click on the "''**Create**''" bottom menu item and choose "''**GPX File**''", see above more more details);
 +  * Click on the "''**Clipboard**''" bottom menu item;
 +  * Select "''**Paste**''".
 +
 +The landmark is converted to the GPX format and the file automatically saved.
 +
 +{{:icon_help.png?nolink|}} If you select "''**Cut**''" instead of "''**Copy**''", the original landmark is deleted.
