Photo and waypoint sync

Jelle Ruben shared this question 2 months ago

Does anyone know the best way to handle this?

I have several waypoints with attached photos on my phone, and I would also like to have them available on my tablet.

I can synchronize and share the waypoints themselves, but how can I make sure that the photos attached to some of the waypoints are also transferred easily?

Hi Jelle,

The media synchronization hasn't been solved technically yet (working on it). If you have just "several" waypoints with photos, export them to a KMZ and import them to your tablet. Don't forget to check the option "including attachments" in the export dialog.

Hello Michal,


Thanks for your quick reply. I will try the export to KMZ.

I am super curious how that media synchronization is going to work later.

I just came across this question. I was hoping that a shared WebPlanner recorded track which had waypoint photos in LM4.35 could be displayed in the web browser, similar to Strava. I tried but the photos appear only on the Android device. Can anyone confirm - it reads from above discussion this is not yet possible, and may reluctantly need Strava for next cycle tour anyway ;-(

an update after testing today for others that may be interested... Strava supports sync of photos between device & Strava web server but appears you need to be logged in with a Strava account users can view the track/ photos with the shared web URL, but fortunately Komoot offer the full service - any member of public with shared web URL can view track on map & photos; so my tedious workflow for now - Locus > export track as GPX > Komoot > import as "activity" > select & add desired photos > share link

Looking in to this, you would have thought that if image attachments are in the same location, on 2 diffrent devices, and the same point is synced, you would get teh same attachment, however it comes up with file missing....
