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
Currently, the Hammerhead app on your smartphone does not allow importing routes. Therefore, the route has to be uploaded to the Hammerhead dashboard. You can do so by following these steps:
- Sign in on the Hammerhead dashboard: dashboard.hammerhead.io
- 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, and your hammerhead device will automatically download it once it is connected to the internet.
