Where Does Wikiloc Store Trails and Recordings?
Wikiloc syncs trails and recordings through your account with offline maps cached in a private sandbox.
Last updated
Wikiloc trails live server-side. Recordings, favorites, and lists attach to the account. The sandbox holds cached maps and login state.
Recorded routes upload from the outbox after trips. That queue survives app restarts but not uninstalls, so sync before wiping. Premium follows the login everywhere.
