I want to migrate my travels from findpenguins (site similar to polarsteps) to dawarich. I can export them in findpenguins as .gpx. Importing the points are working, but i’m wondering that the transportation modes are ignored. So my flight get recognized as a biketour 😃 The transport-mode is written as an extension in gpx, e.g.:  
`<trkpt lat="52.364444" lon="13.510094"><time>2025-01-29T07:23:25+00:00</time><extension><transport>flight</transport></extension></trkpt>`  
Is it possible to import those tracks to, so i dont have to edit them by hand in dawarich?

Additionally it would be nice to add tracks in the ui (not just visits or places), so i could add a few missing parts.

Thank you for the great work in dawarich, it looks really promising as my new travel-journal!
