How to edit a trail from a GPS file editor
Have you uploaded a trail and want to edit the track (coordinates, date, or circularity)?
We recommend using a GPS File Editor. We like the Garmin Basecamp editor.
You can follow these steps:
- Download the trail you’ve already uploaded and want to edit from Wikiloc’s website:
- Go to the trail details page, click the Download button, and select the File tab.
- Select the GPX option from the dropdown menu.
- If you have Waypoints and want to keep them, check the option to include waypoints displayed on the map.
- Click Download.
- Download the photos separately (the title, description, and difficulty are already saved in the file's information). You can find more information on downloading trails from the web in this article: How to Download Trails from the Web.
- Open the file with a GPS file editor:
- Make the necessary modifications.
- Export the edited file to your computer.
- In your Wikiloc profile, under the Your Trails tab, delete the trail you downloaded (to avoid duplicates).
- Upload the new trail:
- On the website, from your Profile, at the top of the screen, click on Upload Trails.
- In the step Select the GPS file with the trails and waypoints to publish, click on Upload the file.
- Mark the selected trail and waypoints, and click Continue.
- The name, description, and technical difficulty will already be saved and appear automatically.
- Add the activity type and the photos you saved.
- Click Continue.
- Check the waypoints and click Finish.
