LogGPS FAQ

  1. Where are the GPS export files stored?
 The export files are accessed on MacOS in Finder and in Windows from  iTunes. To find the files use the following procedure:
    1. For Apple Computer users see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201301 or https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210598 for instructions on sharing files.
    2. 
For Windows users see https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/transfer-files-iphone-computer-iphf2d851b9/ios
    3. The export file name ends in “.csv” or “.gpx”.  Any other files you will see are related to the database itself.  Currently, there is no practical way to use the database files other to save them for backup purposes.
  2. How are exported files deleted?  The files must be deleted from your computer using the instructions linked above.  Please be sure to not delete the database (file ending in .sqlite) as this will permanently delete all of your data.
  3. What file types are exported and how are they named?
 The export button creates two files each named “LogGPS_Export_Date_Time”, where “Date” is replaced with the current date and “Time” is replaced with the current time. One of the files will have an extension of “.csv” for comma separated value format and the other will have the extension “.gpx” for GPS eXchange format. The gpx file can be used to import the information into other programs like Google Earth. The csv file format is handy for importing the information into spreadsheets.
  4. How do I notify the developers of a bug or request a feature?  The developers can be contacted via email address .
