In Gaia GPS, you will find imported and recorded trails filed into two categories: Tracks and Routes.
- Routes are pre-defined and created manually using the website or the app.
- Tracks are breadcrumb trails, made up of GPS points collected by your device while physically following a trail.
Use a route to plan where to go before you leave. Record a track during your activity to see where you actually went.

As I understand it, photos can only be uploaded with a route and not a track, but I haven't tested this yet.
@gaiagpspro
Adding a photo to an active track recording can be done by opening the Create menu, “+” icon, and selecting the “Take Picture option (iOS/Android).
Is there way to play back a track to see playback of the actual breadcrumbs over time? I record my mountain bike routes and would like to play back the route. The application is receiving lat-long information at certain intervals but I cannot seem to find the functionality to play this back. Is this functionality available?
I know this can be done but have only seen this used in military applications.

You can use the Guide Me feature to follow a saved track, however, there is not a playback option to review your progress along track. Sorry about that.
