GPS tracks that are attached to walk reports will have been recorded on the day of the walk, either by the walk leader or by another person on the walk. The GPX file may be downloaded for uploading into your GPS device or for importing into an app on your phone or tablet device, so that you can follow the route of the walk on another occasion. Please be aware that use of the GPX file is entirely at your own risk, and no liability can be accepted by the walk leader or the person who recorded the track, or by Linlithgow Ramblers, for any consequences arising from the use of the track.
Walk leaders: you may attach a GPX file to your walk report, in the same way as you attach a photo. This is entirely optional, if you have not tracked the walk on the day, or you do not wish to make the track available for download, then you may simply ignore this option. Please only attach a GPX file recorded on the day of the walk, not from an earlier recce or any other occasion. If you have given another person permission to send in a GPX file, please confirm this in the “notes” section of the walk report form.
Other walkers: if you have recorded a GPS track on a walk for which you were not the leader, you may send in the GPX file to walks@linlithgowramblers.org.uk but only if you have first obtained the permission of the walk leader for it to be attached to their report.
