     * {{:manual:user_guide:ic_file_type_gpx_alt.png?nolink&30|}}**GPX** - [[http://www.topografix.com/gpx.asp|GPS eXchange format]] is an XML based text format used for handling points, single tracks, multiple tracks and routes. Locus fully supports all valid tags. More detailed description of GPX format is available on this [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_eXchange_Format|Wikipedia page]].
       * //Export only visible// - the checkbox is active only when exporting a whole folder with tracks. Checking it exports only tracks actually visible on the map

+      *// Share exported data// - enables you to share the export file in Dropbox or another service available on your device
-      * //Insert a formatted description// - creates a HTML table with the file description - it is not recommended if re-import or further GPX editing is planned
+      * //Incl. description and attachments// - adds icons, generated descriptions, photos and other attachments and exports them into a detached subfolder
-      * //Export as route// - TRK tags in the file will be replaced by RTE tags so that the file can be used as route for navigation
+      * //Track to route// - TRK tags in the file will be replaced by RTE tags so that the file can be used as a route for navigation in external devices
+      * //Inlude navigation commands// - exported file contains turn-by-turn voice navigation commands
       * //GPX version// - optional setting for experienced GPS device users
     * {{:manual:user_guide:ic_file_type_kml_alt.png?nolink&30|}}**KML/KMZ** - [[https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/|Keyhole Markup Language]] is XML based plain text format with really wide range of usage. Since the version 2.2 KML format is standardized by OGC so it is used by many web/desktop/mobile applications as well as Locus Map. It is usable for export of both points and tracks including multiple tracks.

The XML is similar to GPX since it exports GPS tracks, but treats a track as an Activity rather than simply a series of GPS points. TCX provides standards for transferring heart rate, running cadence, bicycle cadence, calories in the detailed track. It also provides summary data in the form of laps. Format does not support multiple tracks export. Locus provides two export modes - as **Activity** (suitable for uploading at [[http://connect.garmin.com|Garmin Connect]] website and as **Course** (just basic info about the track). The exported file can be shared directly.
