Uploading tracks (GPX / IGC / FIT)

If you recorded an activity on a watch, a flight instrument or another app, you can upload the file to SportsTrackLive on the web — no phone required.

Supported formats

• GPX — the universal GPS exchange format.
• IGC — the International Gliding Commission format, standard for paragliding and hang gliding.
• FIT — Garmin's activity format.
• Waypoint formats such as CompeGPS WPT are also supported.

Uploading

1. Go to your activities on the web and choose upload.
2. Select one or more files. Bulk upload lets you add several at once (Premium raises the limit).
3. Set the sport category and privacy, and add any tags or photos.

Once processed, the activity behaves exactly like one recorded in the app — full statistics, 2D/3D viewing, sharing and comments.

Merging into a scene

You can combine several uploaded tracks into a single scene — perfect for reconstructing a group flight or an event from everyone's files.

Exporting back out

The Export button on an activity page opens a menu with:

• GPX — the universal track format, accepted everywhere.
• IGC — for live-tracked flights, the format free-flight scoring sites expect (XContest and others).
• Imported file — the original file you uploaded, returned untouched.
• View in Google Maps — the route opened in Google Maps.
• Export to app as itinerary — sends the activity to the SportsTrackLive mobile app as an itinerary, so you can follow it on your next outing.

Following someone else's route

"Export to app as itinerary" works on any public activity, not just your own — a neat way to take a route you found on the platform out into the field. Tap it on your phone and the app opens on the itinerary; on a computer nothing happens, since there's no app to open.

Automatic import

If you use a Garmin or Suunto watch, you can skip manual uploads entirely by connecting your account — activities then sync automatically. See Garmin & Suunto sync.
