![]() ![]() I want to use my computer to create these points–not an app using touch on a tiny phone screen. I’ll have to install the app and try this. Since I’ve never seen anything about “bookmarks” in the website, I assume they import as “waypoints”. The documentation does not explain in detail, but I assume the import process into the browser app is the normal “import” feature. This allows you to use your bookmarks in the Kurviger Website, in external systems or to back them up. It is easy to export your bookmarks as GPX file. Per the doc, I see I can create bookmarks in the Kurviger app, export them, and use them in the website so they are handy when creating routes in the website: I read through that, and yes, it seems that “bookmarks” are what I’m looking for. Hopefully my desire here is clear and a relatively common one.įirst, thanks for the response and THANK YOU for the the link to Bookmarks documentation. ![]() Kurviger lets me create waypoints, but they are true waypoints–actually points IN the track. All of those tools allow me to create custom waypoints/POI. For the last 2 years, I’ve been using to create my tracks. My experience is the old Garmin Mapsource program followed by their Basecamp application. The fact Kurviger does not let me do this (or that isn’t a fact, and I’ll be pleasantly surprised!), I have to assume there is a standard way folks do this outside of Kurviger. I don’t care, I just want a context-specific icon or at a minimum, a generic flag, and a point name to indicate something I might care about along the way. Although I want to call these “POI”, the systems I’ve used in the past create these as waypoints which seem to be more commonly supported. These may be actually on my track, but more often they are not–just interesting things in the area. Things like “Waterfall7”, “CreekCrossing2”, “Cliff Overlook”, “MissileSilo”. I’m talking about points of interest in an area of my track that I want to have noted on the map while I’m navigating. I want to be able to add my own custom POI/waypoints and have them become part of the exported GPX file. Now, you are ready to embed your map on your web site and have your GPS coordinates complemented with photos.New Kurviger user here, but not new to GPX and creating tracks. Click “Save” and “Done” on Google My Maps.Also, click on marker’s icon, click “Add icon”, and insert the URL of your photo again so that it will be obvious that that marker is a photo. Find your way point marker, click it, click the “Upload Image” icon, and insert the URL of your photo.From a PC, laptop, or tablet: go to and click “My Maps”->Select a Map->Click “Edit”.However you see fit, upload your corresponding photo to a Google Picasa Web Album (or other photo sharing site) and copy the shareable URL for the photo.With your track pulled up, click the three dots in the bottom right of the screen and select “Send to Google…”->”Send to…Google My Maps”.After you finish a trail, click “Stop recording”.After inserting a way point and standing in the same location, take a picture with a digital camera (can be your phone’s camera or a separate camera).When you reach a picture-worthy location, click “Markers”->”Insert waypoint”->type marker name and description. ![]() Recently, Google discontinued that application so now I recommend the following multi-step, multi-device process: With the Samsung Moment, I had limited success uploading photos to Google My Maps with the Google My Maps Editor Android application. In addition, it has a much longer battery life and better power management tools so I can now record coordinates for longer adventures.
