-===== About =====
-  * <wrap box>Menu > Data Import</wrap>
-**Data import** is used when you want to work with **tracks** and **points** from external sources - websites, file folders, databases, applications, add-ons etc. This function is a general place where to start importing. Otherwise there are many other spots where the import can be launched from, depending on the content you want to import - **points** or **tracks**.

-  * **[[manual:user_guide:tracks:import|more about tracks import >>]]**
-===== Locus Map file manager =====
-When selecting the Data Import function, Locus Map opens a **file manager** window displaying three tabs where to choose files to import. Importable files are in full color and are clickable. <wrap info>More about supported formats see in points/tracks dedicated import chapters.</wrap>
