Import gpx to opentopomap

I want to import a gpx to opentopomap but when I navigate to the file with file manager from the content hub the app closes (stable channel, now on RC unity crashes). Is there a way to do this? TIA

Apparently a gpx file is an html file that's invalid unless the gps coordinates are time-stamped.

Thanks for the suggestion...didn't help much: what is a "valid time stamp"? I can import the same file into opentopomap.org on my pc.

Update, finally got round to trying to import the gpx to opentopomap.org directly to morph...works! But performs very sluggishly on my N5. As an alternative, Activity Tracker seems to make trace files ok without draining battery too much and I can import other people's gpx files there too...so problem solved.
