Importing GPX files into Routes (App)

Available on Android.

Routes is a nice little app that offers basic navigation features. It can interpret tracks and routes and show arrows for turns and such which is very handy.
Unfortunately the map theme Routes uses is quite ugly. The intend of the developers is good though. It’s also a free app without adverts. Which makes it a little special.

We’ll assume you have a working setup already as installing maps into Routes is quite fiddly. If you need help with this, contact the developers of Routes.
