So, just like the title says, I’ve recorded a track using the Locus Map app, and now I'm trying to send it over so I can actually view it on Google Maps, a US government geoportal, or something similar—but I’m hitting a wall. Is that even possible?
It would also be a huge help if I could open it in Google Earth. Right now, I can only manage that on my phone, but I really need to see everything on a larger screen. Is there a way to open Earth on my phone, save the track, and then just pull it up via the web on my laptop?
As for opening Locus Map directly on my laptop? No luck there either. It keeps asking for a password without giving me any option to actually register anywhere.
To be honest, I *can* successfully email a GPX file. I can get the track to my inbox, but I just can't figure out how to actually open it.
I tried converting the GPX to KML. That part works, but saving it to Google Drive is another dead end—it just keeps asking for a login that won't work—and there isn't an option to just email it.
I even tried the "export all in KML and share" route... it exports fine, but the sharing part just doesn't happen.
Long story short, I think I've lost my way a little bit here.
Is there a simple, straightforward way to do this?
I would be so grateful for any easy advice you guys might have! 🙂
