Can I upload a track into my phone app?
Or is there any way to open the already uploaded track on the phone?
-
@elfutok After you'll upload it via desktop/laptop, you can view it in your mobile phone browser

Thanks for your website
I uploaded my file through the website but I cannot see it in my phone app.
Is there a way to see my uploaded files in my phone app?

Where do I find the track on my phone? the gpx I uploaded via https://www.windy.com/uploader doens't show up in the moblie Windy Maps App. I can create a folder there, but haven't found a way in the the desktop to manage my gpx uploads, only can share and delete them
Thanx for you help

Question - how would I create an embed widget given I have a dynamic KML/GPX//GeoJSON fragment?
The input file would need to be passed as a URI parameter as it might be created on the fly
for the same reason, the upload to windy.com seems suboptimal - assuming you would not want a public upload everytime someone retrieves the page with the embed on it
any suggestions?
thanks in advance.

here is an example what I'd be looking for: https://sailpatience.com/where-is-patience/ - an embed provided by https://www.predictwind.com/ (which pushes all the right buttons for people trying to do tracking and weather as an embed)

Just note that I’m not the owner of this nice track sailing around the world.

There are several people who have developed such tracks on Windy maps.
Here is an other example
https://tracker.borisherrmannracing.com/
Another one was the track shown when Greta Thunberg sailed from UK to New York. So Windy developers knows how to do that.

All those maps are based on Windy API: https://api.windy.com/map-forecast
There are some official examples also available.My site is tracker.ee, you can copy-paste some code if you want, just don't make visually identical clone :)
Multiple boats (race ended, so no active movements):
https://gis.ee/sh/Single boat:
https://gis.ee/leaucommotion/Probably most difficult part is getting data from boat.
For L'Eau Commotion Iridium Go was used.
Iridium Go has automatic reporting service via e-mail.
Server can fetch those e-mail reports and make it usable for Leaflet map (Windy API).

I remember too the live tracker of Ben Lecomte who tried to cross the Pacific from Tokyo to San Francisco. He abandoned in Hawai .
He used a GPS tracker and had of course an assistance boat.

If i use a KML with a network reference, does your webserver have to have access to that link? Looking to load files from my local network without having to upload them to your server.

@skor Hi, if you want to use the 'Upload, display and share your KML, GPX or GeoJSON' feature, you need to upload the file into the browser.
