Send trails from Wikiloc to your Hammerhead
Follow a Wikiloc trail from your Hammerhead
Requirements:
- Have the Wikiloc App downloaded on your smartphone.
- Have a Wikiloc Premium subscription. How to get it here.
- Have a Hammerhead device and an account on the Hammerhead website. Here is how to sign in to your Hammerhead Dashboard.
Download the trail
- Find the trail you want to follow on the Wikiloc app.
- Tap the Send to your GPS button and then Send Trail as File.
- If you have an iPhone:
- The app automatically converts the trail to a standard format (.gpx)
- If your smartphone is Android, you will need a file manager. We recommend File Saver (an app you can download from Google Play).
- Choose the "File Saver" app.
- Save the file to the folder of your choice on your mobile.
Open the trail from your Hammerhead
Your Hammerhead will not connect to your smartphone; it will download everything from the cloud. Therefore, you must upload the .gpx file to the cloud by following these steps:
- Sign in on the Hammerhead web.
- Select Routes on the Sidebar Menu.
- Click New Route at the top right-hand corner and then Import.
- Click inside the box to add a file.
- Choose the GPX you want to import and click Open.
- You can also drag and drop a GPX file and click on File Upload.
- You will see the file being uploaded/processed.
- This route will now be available on your Dashboard.
