Re: Internal GPS sensor can't get position (Samsung Galaxy A51)

The former isn‘t usable for track use - which is the reason LapTimer shows „no position“ here. In buildings, you will frequently think you have a proper ...

Re: kmz file to import in Android

kml files (kmz is short for kml.gz) are export only. They can't be used to restore former database content - at least not without heavy scripting and calculations.

Re: Export all sessions

LapTimer exports a lap, all laps of a track, a day, a session, or everything. Exports are always one file. In case you need an export for alle sessions of a track, you need to export all laps of this track and split the result afterwards. This will require some scripting to make it do-able.
