import gpx files into the Walkhighlands map

[beaver]

I often download the Walkhighlands routes into my Satmap, and find these to be a great resource. What I would like to do as well is to import the gpx files from routes I have completed into the Walkhighlands map in order to see exactly where I have been. Is this possible please, and, if so, how do I do it? Only I cannot see any way of uploading gpx files from my PC into the map. Many thanks. Eric.

You used to be able to do it very easily but the functionality has been removed for a reason that I can't remember.

What you can do is open a walk report template and upload a GPX file to that. You can tick the box which says 'walk note only' which means that it won't post as a walk report in the public forum, and then save it there. You would be able to view the route from there.

Very many thanks for this advice, though I note that you can only 'draw' a route on the map, and not import a gpx file directly to it. Or have I missed something?

You've missed something

Scroll down below the box where you type up your report and you'll see a "Choose file" button. Click on that and a window pops up. Navigate to your gpx file and select it then click Open. The pop-up window will close and the file will be displayed next to the "Choose file" button. Click on the "Add the file" button. You now need to click inside the box where you type up your report and click on the button "Place inline" - the GPX file will now appear in the box. To view the map click on Preview and it should appear. To save it in your walks blog for future viewing click on Submit - but don't forget to tick the box for Walk Note only or it will appear in the Walk Reports forum for everyone to see!

Many thanks once again. I guessed I had missed something!
