GPX FILES
What is a GPX file? Essentially it’s a digital route file to help show you where to go.
What else do I need? Any smartphone can download a range of apps that these can be viewed on. Our favourites are to view in the OS Maps app, or download as a training run on your Garmin Connect. The app is essentially the map, and the GPX file is the route drawn on the map Importing the GPX file Depending on your device or app, the method to import the GPX file may vary. Typically, you can connect your device to a computer and transfer the GPX file directly to the device’s storage. Alternatively, if you’re using a smartphone app, you can often import the GPX file directly from your email or through the app’s import feature. Navigating the course Once the GPX file is imported into your GPS device or app, you can start using it to navigate the Ultra North course. The device/app will display the route on a map and provide you with real-time information about your location, distance covered, and remaining distance. It can also give you alerts or notifications when you deviate from the intended route.
