How do I import or export GPX files in Orca?
Updated over a week ago

Orca supports importing and exporting GPX files.

When importing or exporting to GPX, GPX Waypoints will be saved as Spots, while GPX tracks will be saved as Routes.

How do I import a GPX file?

To import GPX file into Orca:

  • iOS and Android: From the application you want to share from, share the GPX via the standard share menu and select Orca as your share destination

  • MacOS: Right-click the GPX file and select Open With > Orca

Imported routes have a limit of 300 waypoints per route. If your GPX file has more waypoints than this, use a simplification tool, such as OpenGeo to simplify your route.

How do I export a GPX file?

To export a Route or Spot as a GPX file, open your Route and Spot list from the Main Menu, press the three vertical dots of the item you want to export, and then select Export GPX.
