I'm not an apple product user so please excuse my ignorance on the way they work.

I would normally take my laptop away with me on Hol's but as my wife has an iPad(3) I thought why bother I'll just use it to upload my track to GPSTC through KA72 Reader.

My Wife does have a SD Card reader which plugs in to the ipad but only seems to import vid's and pic's.

Can this be done on an iPAD and how? I cant find any accessable file structure or ways to upload files to the ipad and when I try to browse on KA72 all i can upload is pictures.

Sorry if the topics been done but a search brought up nothing.

Cheers and Happy New Year
David

Dave, had to laugh as I sit here trying to upload photos from notebook (real computer) to wife's iPad so she can print them or sum fink!

Apparently I have to download a "dropbox" & put them in there so the I(glorified phone)Pad can then read.......
Good luck

I've never seen anyone upload a track via an iPad. And I've got one, so I've tried it out too.

There is no way to access the file system on an iPad as far as I know.

I've got dropbox, but since there is not a dedicated iPad app for ka72, I don't think having that would help.

You can use an iPad to download a kml file from the overlay page and view it on google earth, provided you have the google earth app installed.
