Import Chart File

Scroll Prev Top Next More

This feature allows you to import a chart file from a folder on your Android device.

There are several ways you can get a chart file onto your Android device, here are some examples. However bear in mind that everyone sets up their devices differently, so your situation may not exactly match the descriptions below:

1)By emailing a chart file as an attachment to an address you receive email for on your device, then downloading the attachment (for example once the email is opened then by possibly tapping on Attachments then Save - the exact steps to download an attachment depend on the email app you are using on your device). This will usually be saved to your "Downloads" folder.

2)Another way is by using a USB cable to connect from your device to a computer, then using your computer's file management application (e.g. "Windows Explorer" in Windows on a PC) to copy a compatible chart file (with a .SFcht extension) from the computer to a folder on your device e.g. the "Downloads" or "Documents" folder.

3)By opening a Google Drive account and setting it up on all your devices/computers, then saving a chart file to Google Drive on your computer or one of your Android devices. Then it will be synched and available on all your Android devices. (DropBox is another possible way of synching files across devices - you'll need to set it up on all devices first.)

To Import a Chart File directly from a folder

1)In "Settings" tap on Import Chart File. You will then be presented with a list of several folders on your device which you can open by tapping on them. If you have a Google Drive account for example it will be listed, and by tapping on it you will be able to access files you have previously saved to your Google Drive.

2)Once you have opened a folder on your device that has compatible chart files in it by tapping on it, then tap on the file in that folder you want to import and it will be opened in Astro Gold. However see downloading for more information.
