Can I import GPX/KML tracks?

Yes! Tripline can import GPX and KML files created by GPS devices and many popular mapping and fitness apps. We launched this feature on June 30, 2026.

NOTE: This is a Pro feature. If you don’t yet have a Pro subscription, now is the time! Go to Subscribe to create or upgrade your subscription.

To import a file:

  1. Go to Create Trip.
  2. Under Create from import, click Import File.
  3. Drag and drop a GPX or KML file onto the upload area, or click to choose a file.
  4. Review the map preview and choose how you’d like to import the file.
  5. Click Create Trip.

Supported file types

Tripline currently supports:

  • GPX (.gpx)
  • KML (.kml)

If you have a KMZ file, you’ll need to unzip and get .kml files before uploading.

Import options

Depending on what’s contained in your file, Tripline may detect:

  • Tracks
  • Routes
  • Waypoints

If multiple feature types are available, you can choose which one to import before creating your trip.

What gets imported?

Tripline imports the places and travel paths contained in your file whenever possible. The imported trip remains fully editable, so you can:

  • Rename places
  • Add descriptions and photos
  • Reorder points, add new points (see note)
  • Continue editing your trip just like any other Tripline trip

NOTE: If you reorder imported points or add new places between imported points, Tripline will overwrite your original track with a new path since the imported track would no longer be valid.

Limitations

At this time:

  • One GPX or KML file can be imported per trip.
  • KMZ files are not yet supported.

If you encounter a file that doesn’t import correctly, please contact support@tripline.net and, if possible, include the original GPX or KML file. It helps us improve compatibility with different GPS devices and applications.

Verification FAQ

We’ve recently launched a new feature to handle email address verification, password resets and invitations. If you’re having trouble, here are the answers to some frequently asked questions:

Q: Do I have to verify my email address to use Tripline?

A: Yes, you do. In the past this wasn’t required, but it’s necessary to prevent inappropriate use of the platform. It should only take a second for you to verify. Just click on the link in the verification email.

Q: I’ve been using Tripline for years. Why do I have to verify my email address now?

A: We hear you. It’s an important requirement for the integrity of the platform. We’ve tried to make it as smooth and easy as possible. You’ll be done in seconds.

Q: What if I can’t find an email from Tripline in my inbox?

A: Check your spam/junk folder. You’ll probably find it there. If you still don’t see it, send an email to support@tripline.net and we’ll help you out. (When you contact support, make sure you send from the same email address that you’re using on your Tripline account. That makes the process much easier.)

Q: I clicked the link in the email, but it’s saying that it expired. What’s going on?

A: Links expire after 24 hours (48 hours for invitations) for security reasons. You’ll need to generate another link. If it’s an invitation link that expired, the person who sent the invitation will need to invite you again.

Q: If someone invites me to a trip by email address, do I have to use the same email address to create a Tripline account?

A: No. If you already have a Tripline account, you can just click the link in the invitation email and sign in to accept. If you don’t have a Tripline account, click the link in the invitation email and create a Tripline account using whatever email address you want. You’ll then be able to accept the inviation from your new account.

If you have any other questions, please email support@tripline.net

Can I reorder my photos?

Yes, this feature was fixed in our April 19, 2025 release. You can easily drag and drop images within a waypoint or between waypoints in your trip. Once you’ve uploaded your pictures to a waypoint simply drag and drop any photo to a new position.

Watch the video below to see it in action.

Updates are saved instantly. Note that you drag images and drop to the left of an existing image. That means if you want to change the first image, drag and drop a different image to the left of the first image.
