"New track upload screen." from simon3 Contract pics
Picture: New track upload screen. (Contract pics)

Feature added.
Context of comment:MountainViews allows users to upload the files created by GPS devices or Apps which are in ".GPX" format.
Currently the main page of MountainViews is being rewritten in a new "responsive" format which is intended to work better on mobile and tablet devices while also working on desktop computers.
Message:We have now created a new method accessed from the menu as Walks | Upload a track NEW".
This works on mobile and other sized devices including desktops. Where the device you are using includes a means of "Dragging and Dropping", then you can use this. It works nicely on desktops.

Where the device you are using doesn't have "Drag and Drop", such as mobile devices, you can use the browse feature to locate .gpx files saved from whatever App you were using. Some Apps tend to tuck the saved .gpx file into obscure folders, but generally they can be found. Or you can create an instance of Google Drive and save to that and then browse to it from MountainViews. We hope to comment further on this after we have gathered more user experiences.

You can then use the new editing system for the track. This is considerably simplified from the old system. Although not quite as flexible it is much quicker, allows for drag and drop of pictures and allows for easier captioning.
Additional points:Please try out the new system. In time we will remove the old system but first we need to have fully tried the new system.
