Using Bikemap with other navigation devices

You can upload and download routes to and from Bikemap as GPX and KML files. If your device uses other file formats, you can convert them to GPX or KML files and then upload your routes to Bikemap. Uploading and downloading routes for combined use with other navigation devices is only possible on bikemap.net and not on our app.
