Import a GPX file
Turn a route from another app or a friend into a Byker ride.
Updated 18 October 2026
Got a route from another app, a club, or a magazine? Bring it into Byker as a ride.
- Save the .gpx file to your phone.
- Tap +, then Plan a ride.
- Tap the Import a GPX file button on the map and choose the file.
If the file has a track, Byker keeps that exact line. If it only has route points, Byker plans the roads between them.
The imported ride opens on its own page. It's private, with its exact start and finish hidden. Check it over, then publish it or share it when you're ready.
