The application allows you to import landmarks (waypoints, routes, tracks, areas) from any .csv
, .tsv
and more generally delimiter-separated values files and display them on the map:
“Landmarks”
menu icon and on “Explore landmark”
. The default landmark folder is listed;“My downloads”
to select the folder “/storage/emulated/0/Download/”
.
Once the file to import is displayed , tap on it to display the import settings :
“Folder”
to import the file in the current folder instead of the default import folder;“Charset”
to select the file charset if it's different from the device charset;“Landmark”
to select the type of landmark to create from the imported locations;“Separator”
to select the column separator character;“Location format”
to select the coordinates format of the file;“Headers in first row”
if the first line of the file is not used to store headers (column labels);“Coordinates”
column or a “Latitude / Y”
and a “Longitude / X”
column);Some of the columns may already be assigned since the application tries to detect them from the headers.
When you've assigned an import type to all the columns you want, tap on “Ok”
to start the import. In this example, the application will read the location longitudes from the first column, the latitudes from the second one, and the names from the third column.
Wait some time for the file to be imported. When it's done, you can:
“Browse”
to list the content of the imported file, for example if you want to display only few items;“Display”
to display the entire file content on the map.
To export a landmark in a .csv
or .tsv
file and use it in an external application:
“Export as…”
;
In the list of available export formats, choose “CSV file”
for comma-separated values, or “TSV file”
for tabulation-separated values.
In the export settings, select all the columns you want to export , and tap on “Ok”
to export the landmark.
Among available fields (depending on what is recorded in the exported landmark), you'll find:
“Longitude”
and “Latitude”
, the coordinates of the points in the WGS84 (GPS) datum;“Coordinates”
, the coordinates of the points in another datum you can select;“Elevation”
, the elevations of the points, either in the WGS84 (GPS) datum or in the EGM96 (Geoid) reference;“Time”
, the dates and times recorded of the points in millisecond (unix time format);“Accuracy”
, the accuracies of the points in meters, with a 68% confidence;“Pressure”
, the pressures recorded of the points, in hectopascal (hPa);“Distance from the center”
, the distances from the current map center of the points, in meter (m).Once the landmark has been exported, the full path of the exported file is displayed.
“Share”
to share the file (send it as email, upload it on Dropbox, etc.), available actions depend on the applications installed on your device;“Open”
to open the file with a compatible application installed on your device;“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.
