Import waypoints?
  • Vote Up0Vote Down ssurellssurell
    So I've found the real Navigator folder on the sd card (not the useless empty folder):  Android/data/com.mapfactor.navigator/files/navigator/

    After that easter-egg hunt, you might find a useful file called:  favourites.xml
    This xml file has your saved waypoints for quick navigation.  A gpx file is already a type of xml very similar to favourites.xml, so there should be a way to easily convert or import the data.

    example:

    -wp.gpx-
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    </wpt>
      <wpt lat="37.006736755371094" lon="-85.89397430419922">
        <name>125 Groce St, Glasgow, KY 42141</name>
        <desc>125 Groce St, Glasgow, KY 42141</desc>
      </wpt>
    </gpx>

    -------------------------------------------

    -favourites.xml-
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <favourites version="1">
    <item name="Home" lat="133290976" lon="-311840014"/>
    <item name="37:1:31.116, -86:37:19.704" lat="133291115" lon="-311839704"/>
    </favourites>

    If there is a way to import gps coordinates from bing maps or simply any device with a keyboard?  I've tried every menu and feature of the app, yet I don't find half of the functions listed on google play.  I'm sure it can do anything I want...by manually editing xml files?

    Download route importer from the google play store. It can import waypoint and route files and will add them as a route in your favourites.xml file as a set (between <set></set).
    From there you can easily add your waypoints as "simple" favourites from within Navigator and then remove the route from your favourites.
