Interactive GPX Track Map

Upload your GPX file and Activator Toolkit for SOTA renders a full interactive map with your track, a summit peak marker, and the precise SOTA activation zone boundary. Switch between Topographic, OpenStreetMap, and Minimal base layers. An elevation profile chart sits directly below the map — hover it to watch a dot track your position across the map in real time.

Automatic Hike Statistics

Activator Toolkit analyzes your GPS track and calculates everything automatically — hiking time, activation time, rest breaks, distance, elevation gain and loss, average speed, and peak elevation. It uses the Activation.Zone API for precise terrain-based zone detection (with a configurable radius fallback). Every stat has a manual override field in the block editor if you need to correct anything.

Activation Logbook

Your SOTA CSV log is parsed and displayed as a clean, responsive contacts table. Summit-to-Summit contacts are automatically detected and highlighted in a custom color of your choosing. The table scrolls horizontally on mobile so nothing gets cut off.

Interactive Contact Map

See exactly where your QSOs were located on an interactive map, with color-coded markers by band and lines drawn back to your summit. S2S contacts are pinned using official SOTA API coordinates. For non-grid based contacts or S2S, callsign lookups are provided via QRZ XML subscription service.

Simple Block Editor Interface

Everything is controlled from a single Gutenberg block. Upload your GPX and CSV files, and the plugin handles the rest. The Statistics Overrides panel lets you manually correct any individual stat — just check the box next to the field you want to override and type in your value. No re-uploading files required.

Fully Customizable

Settings → Activator Toolkit for SOTA gives you control over colors, fonts, headlines, unit system (metric or imperial), activation zone method, and more. Every Activator Toolkit block on your site inherits these defaults — or you can override individual values per block.

How It Works

1. Install via Plugins → Add New → Search for “Activator Toolkit for SOTA”, or download the zip and install via Upload Plugin.
2. Go to Settings → Activator Toolkit for SOTA and configure your preferences — units, colors, QRZ credentials, and more.
3. In any post or page, add the Activator Toolkit for SOTA Gutenberg block.
4. Upload your .gpx track file and/or your SOTA CSV log export.
5. Publish or preview — everything generates automatically.
