Last updated
GPXSee stores settings plus downloaded maps and POIs under XDG paths on Linux. Tracks themselves open from wherever your GPX files live. App prefs remember map sources and display choices.
Back up config plus data folders to move the setup. Exact filenames vary by release, so confirm inside the app when paths differ. Keep GPX files apart since those are your content.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move GPXSee to a new machine?
Copy the GPXSee config and data folders with the app closed to the same paths. Maps, POIs and settings travel together. Reopen once to confirm.
Offline maps vanished. Where are they?
Check the data folder for downloaded maps and POI files first. Missing tiles usually mean the map path changed. Repoint it inside the app settings.
