Exporting GPX Files from the Alpha App
The Alpha® app for iOS and Android allows users to share GPS Exchange (GPX) format files to local phone storage, Garmin Connect™ app, SMS, email, or social media. Tracks and activities can be exported.
How to Export GPX Files in the Alpha App
The file is exported and shared in standard GPX format.
NOTE: Some smartphone apps may not read the .GPX file format and instead interpret shared items from the Alpha app as .XML files or other file types. Additionally waypoint symbols or line colors may not stay the same when exported.
Activities cannot be exported as .FIT files from the Alpha app.
- If you are needing the .FIT file for an activity, the compatible handheld can be used with Garmin Express™ software on a computer to sync the activity into the Garmin Connect™ app. For more information, see - Syncing a Garmin Handheld with Garmin Express for Garmin Connect.
- After the activity is synced into Garmin Connect, it can then be exported out of Garmin Connect for use in other programs. For more information, see - How Do I Export Data Out of Garmin Connect?.
