GPX import allows you to load pre-planned routes into the Sygic GPS Navigation.
This feature is useful if you prepare your routes in advance using third-party tools or receive GPX files from someone else.
What is a GPX file?
A GPX (GPS Exchange Format) file contains navigation data such as waypoints, route points, and track logs. It is commonly used to transfer routes between navigation apps and route planning tools.
How to import a GPX file
Download the GPX file to your device.
Open the file from your email attachment or file manager.
Select Open with Sygic.
The route will be imported into the app.
Review the imported route and start navigation. Sygic recommends checking the route on the map before you begin your trip.
Important notes about GPX navigation
After import, the route is recalculated based on the current map data. Sygic will try to follow the original GPX path as closely as possible, but the final route may differ slightly if some roads no longer exist, are restricted, or are affected by your current vehicle profile settings.
Troubleshooting GPX import issues
If the GPX file does not import correctly, check the following:
Make sure the file format is .gpx.
Check that the file is not corrupted.
Make sure you are using the latest version of the app.
Verify that the GPX file contains route or waypoint data. Some GPX files that contain only unsupported track data may not import correctly.
If the issue continues, contact Sygic Support and include:
the GPX file (if possible),
your device model,
your app version,
and a description of the issue.
Third-party GPX files may not work perfectly in all cases
GPX import is a powerful feature for advanced route planning, and we recommend verifying the imported route on the map before starting navigation. Please note that since GPX files are third-party content, we cannot guarantee full functionality, and the feature may not work flawlessly due to the nature of the external data.

Are GPX files created by Sygic?
No. GPX files are usually created in third-party route planning tools or shared by other users and then imported into Sygic.
Does Sygic guarantee full compatibility with third-party GPX files?
No. Since GPX files are third-party content, full compatibility cannot be guaranteed and some files may not work perfectly in all cases.
Why may a third-party GPX route work differently in Sygic?
After import, the route is recalculated using current map data, so the final route may differ slightly from the original GPX file. This can happen if some roads no longer exist, are restricted, or are affected by your vehicle profile settings.
