  • Alternatively, to export a landmark from the landmarks explorer, long-press it or click on its icon to display a similar menu;

Once the track has been exported, the full path of the exported file is displayed.

  • Click on Open to open the file with a compatible application installed on your device;
  • Click on Share to share the file (send it as email, upload it on Dropbox, etc.), available actions depend on the applications installed on your device;
  • Click on Ok to close the dialog.

Be careful when trying to access the exported file from a computer using an USB cable, Android takes time to update the file list of your device, and newly created ones may not be immediately visible.
