 * Hi,
 * Is there any way to create a map that pulls track data from a gpx file served
   by a web server? I am trying to create a live tracking app where the .gpx tracks
   from a gps or phone are uploaded to the cloud and then made available through
   a web app so as to be displayed on an online map.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi [@taod86](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taod86/),
 * Thanks for reaching out. Yes – using the **file_url** Shortcode attribute like
   this:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       [Waymark file_url="https://www.waymark.dev/assets/geo/track-ele-only.gpx"]
       ```
   
 * More information available on the [Docs](https://www.waymark.dev/docs/shortcodes/#shortcode-files).
   Let me know if you run in to any issues.
 * Cheers,
 * Joe

 * Thank you Joe for answering so promptly and my apologies for missing that part
   in the Docs! Your plugin is really great.
 * I’m building the app with Google App Script as a backend and unfortunately I 
   think that since accessing the web app ([https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbwAZb_67qsgy009l-zv8rU5nSOBq2PfimoKRFJmo2LxfU9nE1x0mj_HmxiYc3vFXcMx3w/exec](https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbwAZb_67qsgy009l-zv8rU5nSOBq2PfimoKRFJmo2LxfU9nE1x0mj_HmxiYc3vFXcMx3w/exec))
   triggers a 302 – because it hits the web app, which triggers the functions on
   the backend which then returns the gpx it doesn’t seem to work. But it’s on me
   and my weird use-case, the plugin works really well otherwise.
