Where to get recorded GPX tracks

[nh2]

http://maps.me/en/help says

Can I record tracks in GPX format in MAPS.ME?

So far, you can use "Recent track" option (app's settings – Map – Recent track). It allows you to record travelled path for a ceratin period and see it on the map. You can also convert GPX to KML or KMZ and import tracks and bookmarks in KML or KMZ format.

But this doesn't describe where the GPX track actually is, so it doesn't really answer the question. Where can I find it?

On the phone's memory I can find gps_track.dat but that doesn't seem to be GPX or KML.

I wrote a python reader for the gps_track.dat file a few month ago:

conversion to gpx should be easy, but was to boring :P

There really should be a feature to export the recent track to GPX, really useful when you were travelling and want to remember the places you went.

It would be very helpful to havestart stop pause GPX track recording. It helps a lot with mapping.

Hi - had a bit of a mugging situation yesterday while recording tracks and would like to use this workaround to get my track off my iPhone. Could you give a few more hints?

I think the first question is on an iOS device, how do I find gps_track.dat?

[goodwingibbins]

Oh! Got it. iPhone in Mac -> iTunes -> File Sharing -> Maps.me -> gps_track.dat. Then in the command line

python3 mapswithme_track_gpx.py gps_track.dat > gpx.txt

Worked great. Hope this helps someone else in the future!
