Dear Xavier and Akkana,

 

OK, you are not the developers. But nevertheless, a big thank-you to you! 
Complex software needs good support.

 

Thanks for pointing me to 

Hamburger menu > My Places > Tracks >

I was not aware of this alternative to

Hamburger menu > Configure map > GPX files... >

 

It fulfills my needs. Now I don't understand why 

Hamburger menu > Configure map > GPX files... >

is provided at all. If it is just a poorer implementation of 

Hamburger menu > My Places > Tracks >

why keeping it? In my cases it made me believe it is the only way to get to 
the tracks and I did not search further.

 

Would it be better to remove 

GPX files... >

from

Hamburger menu > Configure map >

?
