Did you know that you can export your user waypoints from ForeFlight and share them with others? When viewing your user waypoints in More > User Waypoints, tap the Send To button in the list’s footer and tap Mail. This action creates an email and automatically attaches a .kml file containing your waypoints. You can also email it to yourself to keep as a backup or to import the file into third-party apps and software.
You’ll need to have an email account set up using Apple Mail on your device for the Mail option to appear. To do this, open the iOS Settings app, go to Mail > Accounts, and follow the prompts.
If you receive an email with another pilot’s user waypoints, you can easily import them into ForeFlight directly from the Apple Mail app. Just tap-hold on the attached file (named “user-waypoints.kml”) and tap “Copy to ForeFlight” in the popup. Doing this will open ForeFlight and automatically import the user waypoints. You can also bulk import user waypoints into ForeFlight using iTunes, and we have instructions on how to do that here.
