Export track

[Jrox]

Hi
I needed to export a track from the Android version of windy maps. As there is no built in support this is how I managed export to gpx format. It is a little bit tricky and requires some computer skills.

1. Copy the log file for the correct date from the mobile app to a computer running windows or linux. On my mobile the log files was found in the folder android/datacom.seznam.windymaps/files/logs
2. Run the following UNIX commands from the command line on UNIX (or Windows with gnuwin32) installed.
   echo time,latitude,longitude >gps.csv
   grep -E "loc.*gps" TheLogFile.txt | cut -d; -f1,5,6 | cut -c2-8,28- | tr ";" "," | sort >>gps.csv
3. The gps.csv file contains time, latitude and longitude in a comma separated file format.
4. Convert the gps.csv file to gpx format with e.g. https://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert_input. Note that the date will be todays date, not the track date.

Note that this is what I used to export one track and no more testing has been done.

@Jrox Hello, exporting tracks is not available at the moment, but we will consider it for the future development.

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the post! You saved me a lot of time. I've found a typo in point 2: [ cut -d; ] should be wrapped with ' ' as follows [ cut -d';' ] . All the rest worked fine.

Best regards,
Egor

thanks!!! for tips&tricks...

i made a small script in vbscript for win.. to convert direct in gpx...
i hope for a future version of app with direct exportation in gpx..
I think it's simple to add this futures..

@albertinim Hello, if you mean exporting tracks in Windy Maps, then this feature is on our to-do list. Meanwhile, you can still export tracks on Windy.com using the Route planner :)

@korina perhaps a bit late now, but here's a simple PHP shell script that will do the job (in Linux). Usage: {'whatever you name the executable script' 'folder name/name of log file.txt' }

#!/usr/bin/php

' . $name . '
';
$footer = '

';
fwrite($output, $header);
while(! feof($file))
{
$line = fgets($file);
preg_match($regex, $line, $result);
if (! empty($result)) {
$time = $date . "T" . $result[1] . "+08:00";
$lat = $result[2];
$lon = $result[3];
$elevation = round($result[4],1);
//echo '' . $elevation . '' . $time . '';
fwrite($output,'' . $elevation . '' . $time . '' . PHP_EOL);
}
}
fwrite($output, $footer);

fclose($file);
fclose($output);
echo "FINISHED\n";

I hope this may be useful to someone!

Seems to have truncated the copy!

#!/usr/bin/php



' . $name . '
';
$footer = '

';
fwrite($output, $header);
while(! feof($file))
  {
    $line = fgets($file);
    preg_match($regex, $line, $result);
    if (! empty($result)) {
        $time = $date . "T" . $result[1] . "+08:00";
        $lat = $result[2];
        $lon = $result[3];
        $elevation = round($result[4],1);
        //echo '' . $elevation . '' . $time . '';
        fwrite($output,'' . $elevation . '' . $time . '' . PHP_EOL);
        }
  }
fwrite($output, $footer);

/*
$tracks = preg_grep($regex, $txt);
    for ($i=1; $i

@jrox "Copy the log file for the correct date from the mobile app..."
Where can I find this data on my phone? Thanks for the answer.
