Importing and Exporting Markups (Waypoints, Routes, Lines, Shapes, and Tracks)

You can Export Markups with any level of Membership, but a Premium or Elite Membership is required to Import Markups.

Exporting Markups (Waypoints, Routes, Lines, Shapes, and Tracks) from the onX Hunt App

*NOTE: The onX Hunt App exports Markups in GPX Files. If you need to export your Markups as a KML file, please use the onX Hunt Web Map.

Exporting Markups is a great way to share a large number of Markups at once with a hunting buddy, and can also be used to back up your data. Before backing up your Markups, there are a few things to be aware of:

  • Only the location and name of the Markup will be saved. onX customizations like icons and colors are not saved.
  • Tracks exported as KML files will be converted into Lines. We recommend you Export Tracks as GPX files.
  • Lines and Areas exported as GPX files will be converted into Tracks. We recommend you export Lines and Areas as KML files. Exporting KML files is not available in the onX Hunt App, so if you need to export Lines and Areas, please use the onX Hunt Web Map on your computer.
  • Exporting Markups is currently only available for iPhones and iPads, not Android devices.

*NOTE: Tracks exported as KML files will become lines when you import them. Likewise, Lines and Areas exported as GPX files will become Tracks when you import them.

KML and GPX file formats were created by Google and Garmin, so they do not save onX customizations like colors, icons, and notes.
