How to get the file
- In TPE, open your saved locations and use its export/share option. KML (or KMZ) keeps your folders as lists; GPX and CSV work too.
- Save or AirDrop the file to this device.
- Drop it above. Places land in Saved locations; folders become lists. Importing again never duplicates.
No account needed — imports are stored on this device. Sign in later (Pro) and they sync everywhere. The exact menu names in TPE change between versions; if your file won't read, send it to us and we'll add the format.
