Can't export GPX files

[Katherine Milla]

Hello all.  I am not able to export my waypoint stream as a .gpx file via my email.  Gmail give me a message that it can't attach the file and my other email sends the message but no file attached.  Any help out there?

Thanks,

Kat

Hi Katherine, I vaguely remember a similar problem but not the details.  Is it possible that you are exporting the .gpx file to a location that Gmail/email cannot access?  When I go through the export process, I see the folder/file name just above the list of 'share' applications.  In my case, it shows "/storage/emulated/0/Track-...".  Tapping the arrow to the right shows a message that the export was successful.  

If you go into Settings / Miscellaneous / Storage Location, was GPS Essentials installed to Internal Storage or External (App) Storage?  The path to the GPS Essentials databases is shown below each of the options.  If GPS Essentials is trying to export tracks to /data/user/0/com.mictale.gpsessentials/..., that would explain why Gmail cannot access the file (this location is restricted to GPS Essentials).  

I was able to edit the path where the track will be exported (selected a different folder) - GPS Essentials remembered the edit.

Thanks Norbert, good thought.  I will investigate this and see if it leads to success.  Cheers!  Kat
