Why are not ALL Public Tracks always visible ???  Very few are visible.

Visible Public Tracks appears to be random.  Different tracks appear on different days.  Many tracks are not visible until selected from a User's Recent Activity list.

Why are not ALL Public Tracks always visible ???

  I am seeing the same thing, this is really frustrating. Public tracks are a great resource to look for new routes. This is especially true for a route that may not have a dedicated trail shown on the map but are still very much real, if not heavily unmaintained, trails.

  Same issue here.  I spend alot of time in an area where there is frequent visitation. I can imagine that if ALL Gaia Public Tracks were visible for the past time period (years?) there would be so many that the tool would become useless. 

  Perhaps Gaia software can allow a certain “density” or quantity of Public Tracks to be visible in the display area a user selects. So this would change at different zoom levels.  Hide older public tracks, if there are too many in the display area. etc .

  In the area I am frequently in (South East Utah, Bears Ears National Monument) there are few public tracks, even though I know we have many Gaia users recording public tracks.  And, which public tracks are visible seems to change from day to day. And, most of the public tracks that are visible are quite recent; last couple of weeks.
