wikiloc - share GPS tracks via Google Earth, even import Sports Tracker routes Print E-mail
Written by Glenn Letham

Wikiloc is a clever app enabling users to upload and share their GPS tracks online or via Google Earth. Store and share your GPS tracks, and a tip... you can even import your Nokia N95 Sports Tracker trips into the application as well - with a little bit of effort!

 

Wikiloc brings together those who store their GPS tracks and enables upload and sharing via Google earth - reminds me somewhat of Nokia's Sports Tracker application! see http://wikiloc.com/wikiloc/home.do Users can also add photos to go along with the GPS data.


Users can upload GPS data via the following formats:

* GPX 1.0 (.gpx)
* GPX 1.1 (.gpx)
* CompeGPS (.trk, .wpt)
* OziExplorer (.plt .wpt)
* Garmin Training Center Course (.crs)
* Garmin Mapsource (.gdb, .mps)
* Magellan Mapsend (.trk, .wpt)
* FAI/IGC Flight Recorder Data Format (.igc)
* Geocaching (.loc)
* Google Earth (.kml, .kmz)
* GPS TrackMaker (.gtm)
* PCX5 (.pcx)
* Geogrid Viewer tracklogs (.log)

They also provide details of this handy GPS translation utility!

 

 

A sample wikiloc trek


And here's a cool test that I completed in about 2 minutes. Using my Nokia N95 smartphone, I uploaded a GPS treck using the cool Nokia Sports Tracker application. So, I just logged into my account, exported the data to KML, then imported into Wikiloc. I can then save it, add photos, and share/view with others via Google Earth and Google maps - so, in short, I round tripped from my Nokia N95 -> Sports Tracker -> wikiloc -> Google Earth... awesome!
