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:

  1. 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.
