Importing tracks from other programs

It is possible to upload tracks from other programs? Polar Navy (Polar View) is due to die at the end of December and we have thousands of miles of tracks we would like to retain. While all my routes were imported without difficulty, I can't find a way to do my tracks, or even if it is possible!


Any help appreciated.

If you can export those tracks as GPX or convert them to GPX, you could import them. I have converted Nobeltec and other software in the past, so it is possible.

Try the GPS Utility program to convert the tracks. https://www.gpsu.co.uk/

Another vote for GPSU if that can't do it out of the tin you are probably looking at a custom solution.

The cheaper (as in free) option is GPSBabel
