How to edit a trail from a GPS file editor
Have you uploaded a route and want to modify the track? (coordinates, date, convert it into a loop trail)
We recommend you do so from a GPS File Editor. We, for example like the free Garmin Basecamp editor.
Follow these steps to edit your trail:
- From Wikiloc's website, download the trail you have uploaded and you want to modify:
- Go to the trail sheet, click on the "download" button and then on the "file" tab
- Select the drop-down option "GPX"
- If you have Waypoints and want to keep them, check the "Include locations displayed on map" option.
- Click on "download"
- Download the pictures separately (title, description, and difficulty are saved in the file information)

- Open with the GPS file editor
- Modify and export to your computer
- On your Wikiloc profile, "Your trails", delete the trail you just downloaded (to avoid duplicates)
- Upload the new route:
- On Wikiloc's website, your "profile" and on the top corner of the screen, click on "+ Upload trails"
- At the "Select the file containing the GPS tracks and waypoints to upload" option, click on "Upload file"
- Leave the "trail" and "waypoints" as marked, and click on "continue"
- Name, description and technical difficulty will be saved and become visible.
- Add "type of activity", and the save photos and videos.
- Click on "continue"
