Does anybody know the way to export .gpx files from ridewithgps/strava/endo etc to a non-garmin device? I have a windows phone (through work, wouldn't have bought one) which I want to use as a satnav rather than just a gps tracker, but I can't work out how to transfer the .gpx file onto the phone. I've tried using a gps app called GPX Viewer which apparently let's you export the files, but it comes with no instructions as to how to use it.
Any ideas?

    I have Nokia Lumia 800 that has Nokia Drive pre loaded as it's sat nav device. I don't think you can load gpx's to it. I don't use my phone to navigate, just record rides and upload to Strava via Endomondo. Don't know if that is any help to you?

    OK, thanks. The GPX viewer app indicates that you can use the phone as a satnav, but I think it is flawed. I already use it to record rides and upload, just didn't know if it works the other way round.

    Can you not email the gpx to yourself?

    Outdoor navigation lets you download GPX files to navigate with via dropbox. I haven't used it as I never got round to buying a mount for my WP but remember searching and found this to be the best option
