They facilitate the cross-platform exchange of GPS data, making it possible for various devices and software applications to read and process the information.

Good to Know

Every company uses its own algorithms, which can cause routes to look different across various platforms. Similarly, calimoto tours may appear differently on other navigation systems. However, switching from your original navigation device to calimoto can be done in just a few clicks. We can’t wait for you to start your first ride with us!

Having Trouble with GPX Import or Export?

Many providers and platforms do not adhere strictly to open standards, which can lead to technical issues. While calimoto follows the specified standards, files may sometimes be recognized as unreadable. If this happens, please reach out to the respective provider for assistance.

We hope these instructions and tips are helpful. From now on, you can keep all your tours in one place – whether you’ve tracked them with calimoto or another navigation device.
