WiGLE WiFi Wardriving app unable to export .gpx files from saved routes
Posted: Mon Feb 05, 2024 2:32 am
I accidentally refreshed the page & lost the entire thing I wrote. I may miss some things retyping this.
I'm trying to export my saved routes as.gpx files so I can use them in OpenStreetMap. When I try to export a .gpx file from saved routes in the WiGLE app by clicking the share button, I'm shown a list of my apps. I see messengers, cloud storage, nearby share, & file managers. No matter what I select the export fails; messengers fail to send, cloud storage fails to upload, & file managers fail to copy the file. When I go back to the WiGLE app to try again no list of apps ever appears, & all that happens is a loading bar saying "Working…" appears at the bottom of the screen. No matter how long I wait nothing happens. In order to make the app list appear again the app must be force stopped, just closing the activity & relaunching the app does not make it appear again. Is this a known issue? Is there some other way I can get GPS traces out of WiGLE? I have all permissions enabled for both WiGLE & for the apps I'm trying to use to receive the exported file. I have been able to export .gpx files this way in past versions of the WiGLE app.
This also affects the "Export current route as a GPX route file" function directly above "saved routes" in the database tab.

I can provide video of reproducing the issue if needed. I can also provide a debug log generated inside the app from while I was doing this. I would use the "Send error report" feature in the settings section but I'm not sure how to generate one.
