Hi, I want to be able to display gps tracks on my Jolla, I look for some app that can handle gpx files. Haven't found a native app nor a working android app so far. Any ideas? thanks, Stephan

Halftrail is a native app (available in Harbour) that can load and show GPX tracks if you put them in ~/.local/share/harbour-halftrail/halftrail/tracks.
OK, I have tried Halftail, copied a gpx file to the directory, but I don't seem to be able to load it. Please share a hint!
stephan ( 2015-03-29 23:59:56 +0300 )Here is how to load a GPX file in Halftrail:
How far do you get, following the above?
luen ( 2015-03-30 00:26:05 +0300 )Oh well ... Thanks! Somehow I always tried pressing the icons in the 2nd line, not realising the 3 icons at the bottom line. Somehow it was not intuitive to me ...
stephan ( 2015-03-30 00:39:50 +0300 )Yeah, the "toolbars" in Halftrail aren't the most intuitive, but after you got used to it, it works pretty OK.

Even though it does not support that yet, I plan to add GPX viewing support to modRana in the future. :)

osmand (Android App) is working well for that. it records also tracks in gpx-files, just put your file to the same folder

Rena and Maep are 2 native apps which are also able to manage gpx files. So you see, you really have a choice!

I've made good expieriences with oruxmaps (android app). You should move the gpx file to the tracklogs folder. You find it under /home/nemo/android-storage/oruxmaps/tracklogs . After that, your'e able to open it.
You can store maps on sdcard (downloaded by pc) to use offline and store recorded tracks to phones memory.
Another Android app that works is viewranger. Put your gpx file in Android storage/ viewranger and you can import it from there...
I'm currently developing an app to read specific route files: bike routes in the Netherlands and Belgium can be cycled with waypoints identified with numbers (knooppunten). On the streets route signs show the numbers (knooppunten). Routes can be created at Fietsnet.be (for Belgium) and Route.nl (for the Netherlands). Initial version will only import en show routes.

Hi! There are several options (as you can see from the several answers below). Closing this one as answered with just one of them, but all the other answers seems correct as well, so pick any option.
