AlpineQuest & OfflineMaps

Sorry if this question has already been addressed — I don't see a way to search this board.

Are there any tools for the bulk conversion of AlpineQuest track files to standard GPS track formats (KMZ, for example)? My use case involves archiving ~100 track files. Obviously a proprietary format is inappropriate for archiving, and manually converting this many files on a phone will be extremely tedious. A Python or R package would be ideal for me, but a self-contained tool or standalone script would be fine.

If this kind of bulk conversion tool isn't currently available, is the file specification for AlpineQuest track files published somewhere? I might be able to write my own converter.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I'll start with your main question, bulk export of tracks.

This is actually possible using the application itself. You just have to use a "Landmark file": in the Landmarks explorer, click on the "+" button and create an empty "Landmark file". Then copy/paste all your tracks in it (you can use multi-selection to copy your 100 tracks at the same time), and finally export the whole landmark file as a KML or GPX file.

Now for your side questions/remarks:
- There is a search feature in this board, but I just realized it's only available for registered users. I've changed this so guests can also search.
- The specifications of AlpineQuest files are open and published here and here for landmark files. Those formats are only used for performance concerns, not for protection or copyright;
- Convertion scripts have already been created by users, like here (all formats) or here (only waypoints).

Hope it helps
Best regards

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll take a look at those scripts.
