Let's start with the basics! What is a GPX file?
If a file is called a GPX file it simply means that it is GPS data in a format that can be shared electronically. This is usually a GPS route that has been saved and shared online. You can download these GPX routes to your computer or phone and it will convert the file back into a GPS route. Magic!
You can import GPX files up to 4MB into, or export them from, the Beeline app. Check out the videos below to see how.
