Thinking about it, it's probably not a big deal to add support for importing those files and merging their GPS data with the existing tracked information. That would give iOS the ability to read them and assign sites etc.

However, none of this is supported (or even synced) to macOS right now. I plan to do that next time I do a big internal/database update.

If it would be useful to you on iOS in the meantime then send me a sample file and I will take a quick look.

If you're going to undertake this, perhaps supporting the Garmin .FIT file format would be worth the effort, as it is the de facto standard for sharing location and fitness information. It would let you overlay heart rate data on a dive in the event that someone makes an underwater heart rate monitor, as well as support the Garmin Descent.

Here's the FIT SDK: https://www.thisisant.com/resources/fit/

I have FIT files I can share from land-based activities.
