GPX planning guide
Import, check and improve a GPX route
Treat a GPX file as a starting point: inspect the line, fix the route, then reconnect it to terrain, timing and the rest of the trip.
The useful answer
A route planner should reduce uncertainty, not just draw a line.
Use a GPX route planner to inspect a track, combine route sections and export a portable plan without losing the practical trip context. Skreppa keeps route discovery, practical stops and the saved trip close together so each decision can inform the next.
Step 1
Inspect the imported line
Check for gaps, accidental straight lines and misplaced starts before using an imported track in the field.
- Zoom into joins
- Confirm start and finish
- Compare total distance
Step 2
Build a usable route
Combine sections deliberately and use snapped routing where appropriate. Keep manual sections visible so they can be reviewed.
- Join route sections
- Review snapped geometry
- Keep uncertain sections explicit
Step 3
Export without lock-in
A portable plan should remain useful outside one app. Export GPX or GeoJSON and retain the planning notes separately.
- Export a standard format
- Keep a backup copy
- Reopen the plan across devices
Use the workflow
Open the right Skreppa mode.
