Can not find trails that show up on other services
I was attempting to find the Cornish Estate Trail Loop (located in the NY Hudson Highlands State Park) by searching for it via the map icon. Nothing shows up. Please advise.

Search for just 'Cornish' instead and it will be the first result.

I'm not sure what you're not able to find or what you mean by map icon? Searching for "cornish" shows the trail as the first hit: https://www.gaiagps.com/map/united-states/new-york/cornish/?layer=caltoporelief,GaiaTopoRasterFeet&lat=41.4349&lon=-73.9680
Now, it doesn't look like the same loop that shows up in the alltrails app... it's probably not named correctly/completely on open street map.

go to openstreet id create a accont and fix it that is what i do .
gaia dosent make maps it imports them from the open street map database and chooses what to display on the map.
On the other hand alltrails uses the same open street map database and users submit tracks that they have recorded while hiking biking or overlanding which are added to the base map with reviews.
I have been an open street map contributor for years and all the trails my tri-state area not in the database street map ID this is a very simple interface but there is a learning curve if you have tracks you have recorded you can add trails or fix ones better there it's all free most of the major map providers accept Google use open St. maps because it is a free to use and it is constantly being updated by volunteer users but it's not very good for turn by turn navigation mostly because of contributor error error
