Import is used when you want to work with tracks from external sources - route planning websites, databases, applications etc. Either you choose the data yourselves or Locus Map receives them. There are several ways how to launch the import:
Locus Map opens a file manager window displaying three tabs where to choose files to import. Importable files are in full color and are clickable. More about supported formats see here >>
After selecting the file or receiving it from some external application Locus Map analyses it and modifies the import dialog according to the content - the dialog can process tracks or points or both of them at once.
Appears when the imported file contains just tracks:
When importing track and detached waypoints in one imported file Locus Map offers connecting the waypoints with the track so that they are displayed in track chart.
Locus Map tracks import supports following file formats:
Supported both for Import and Export

Training Center XML is a data exchange format introduced as part of Garmin's Training Center product. The XML is similar to GPX since it exchanges GPS tracks, but treats a track as an Activity rather than simply a series of GPS points. TCX provides standards for transferring heart rate, running cadence, bicycle cadence, calories in the detailed track. It also provides summary data in the form of laps.
Sets default color of all recorded, imported or manually created tracks.
Sets default width of all recorded and imported tracks and manually created routes.
