GPX and KML (GPS recordings)

Working with GPS recordings (GPX and KML files)

In order to get really accurate triggering for your experiences, it can be useful to rely on actual GPS coordinates instead of just our maps.

Recording your GPS and importing to the Echoes Creator allows you to visualise the exact GPS coordinates your device is reporting. You can then place zones directly on top of that path. Note that recording GPS on one device does not necessarily give you accurate results for all devices. More about GPS is below.

You can record GPS as a GPX (or KML file) with a number of different apps. Try searching in the store for 'GPS Recorder' or 'GPX' or use one of the following: Strava, myTracks (iOS only), Kinetic GPS (iOS only), GPS Logger (android only), Garmin GPX (android only) and many more.

After recording and exporting to a GPX file, you can upload to the Creator by going to 'Lines' and tapping 'Import KML/GPX file' and following the instructions.
