FATMAP TOP TIPS

Like any new software it’s important you have a play with it before you need it. It takes a bit of getting use to but once you get to grips with it you’ll wonder how you got on without it. One thing to do before starting your trek is to make sure you’ve downloaded your routes for when you’re in an area of no or limited phone reception. In order to help you understand how to do that please see below:

 

Step 1: Open up your Vamoos App

Step 2: Click on the world icon FATMAP Track on the bottom of your details page (see attached photo)

 

Step 3: Click the three dots menu on top right of the FatMap Screen (see attached photo)

 

Step 4: Select “Export GPX Track” from the menu that opens up (see attached photo)

 

 

Step 5: Save the gpx track to your phone files (see attached photo)

 

 

Step 6: Exit

 

Step 7: Open up the FatMap app on your phone

 

Step 8: Verify that you are in “Map” (see bottom of screen to select “Map” if not) (see attached photo)

 

 

Step 9: Click on the pencil icon on top right hand corner of screen (see attached photo)

 

 

Step 10: Select the “Import a GPX File” option that appears on the bottom of the screen (see attached photo)
