@lmpinto Arc Timeline 4 version 1.7.1 is out today and carries the fix for the Remove GPX Import behaviour you reported on this thread (BIG-714). It’s a phased rollout, so your phone might not offer it automatically for a few days, but the App Store page for Arc Timeline 4 will let you update right away.

The first launch after updating runs a database maintenance pass, which may take a few minutes on a long history — let it finish. After that, Remove GPX Import on that 7 December 2013 day should go through. A brief flicker as the displaced original reappears and re-merges is normal. As before, each Remove takes one layer — repeat while an item on the day still shows the GPX Import section; the Arc Timeline 3-era imported items on that day stay out of its reach.

If it doesn’t take, post here with what you see and we’ll pick it up.

Thanks for the recording.
