Import GPX is a Workhorse for Data Ingestion

Moving GPS data between apps is what the GPX standard is designed for — but bulk imports can be unreliable. From the outset, we designed Mapkind GPS to solve that, cleanly and at scale.

Draggable Geometry for Offline Download Areas

Offline download areas in Mapkind GPS now use draggable, resizable boxes — a more deliberate approach than capturing the viewport, with explicit control over shape and coverage area.
