Add a function to import GPX file directly

[marunguy]

Currently, omaps can only import kml file.
It is a little inconvenient to convert a gpx file to a kml file and to import in somecase(without internet).
Is it possible to add a function to import GPX file directly?

That is a great idea, of course, we can add some GPX parser.

You can try https://maps.omaps.app/ to convert GPX/GeoJSON into KML.

You may help by providing examples of some rich-featured GPX tracks you want to support, and by mapping their corresponding features to the KML format. I assume that GPX should perfectly work as a subset of KML.

And btw thanks for the F-Droid! You definitely need a lot of support, especially related to the slow build process :) But that's another issue.

Guess your last look was more than a week ago. We got new build servers 😃 🥳 Related issues will be addressed as well, but things take time (we all hope: not too much of that 🙈)

As for the GPX files: Shall I attach an example here, or at the other issue? I'll unfortunately be unable to perform the mapping as I'm not deep enough into that topic…

It's better to attach them to that another issue, to have everything in one place.

Done, thanks!
