Hi,



i just recently found out for me, how useful it is to have Tracks/Routes within the OruxMaps DB.



Typically i have GPX files, e.g.

- sent by email from someone as email attachment

- stored at some cloud storage, accessable by my phone

- stored locally at my phone



I am aware of the mechanism to import ("Manage Tracks/Routes", then the symbol  with the floppy disk at the bottom, etc.).

Navigating then through the Android filesystem can be tedious and unexperienced users may have problems handling email attachments, etc.





When opening such a GPX directly, Android offers me to open it with OruxMaps, then the dialog comes with OruxMaps "Navigation options" and "Logging options".

How about an additional option to allow also "Import into DB"?
