Upload files to Trail Rail app

As per the documentation, I managed to convert a gpx-file to an egt-file, but I don't know how to upload it to the Bangle.js. Other apps (Like openstreetmap) has a button for it in the app loader, but it lacks in Trail Rail. Is there perhaps a way to upload generic non-app files to the watch?

I am fairly new to the Bangle community, and I am sorry if this is a dumb question.

Hi!

Check out the web ide: https://www.espruino.com/Web%20IDE

As you suspected, it allows you to interact with the storage on the watch (make sure to select 'storage' as the upload location).

Thank you!

I eventually got it working. I first tried to install vivaldi, but after giving up I made it work with chrome. It would be a bit more convenient to use the app loader, but at least this works.

Glad you got it working! But yes, some kind of upload button in the app loader would be really nice for this - even better if it could do the conversion itself!

Yes, that would be awesome.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
