How to Import and Export GPX, KML, and CSV on iPhone
MGRS GPS does full GPX import/export for waypoints and tracks, plus KML and CSV, and opens GPX files shared from other apps — so your data moves freely between planning tools and the field.
Steps
- To bring data in, import a GPX, KML, or CSV file — or open a GPX shared from another app.
- Review the imported waypoints and tracks on the map.
- To send data out, export as GPX, KML, or CSV.
- Share the file with teammates or planning tools.
Why it works this way
Your grid app shouldn’t be a dead end for your data. Full GPX support means waypoints and tracks move cleanly between MGRS GPS and the planning tools, mapping software, and teammates you work with — and KML and CSV cover the other formats you’ll meet. Being able to open GPX shared from other apps closes the loop from plan to field.
Tips & edge cases
- GPX is the best round-trip format — it carries both waypoints and tracks.
- CSV suits spreadsheets of coordinates; KML suits Google Earth workflows.
- Open shared GPX to load a route someone planned for you.
