These videos augment Gaia's learning materials quite a bit. Kudos to your faithful users!
The video were excellent, thank you. I purchased GPX files from Trans American Trail. They are in my iPhone. Once I open the GPX in my GAIA GPS map how do I follow the coordinates? Is there a drop down that allows me to follow the GPX trails? I am obviously missing s simple step. Please help.

CVB,
If the file you imported contains tracks or routes, you can use Guide Me to follow the trail:
If the file only contains waypoints, you will want to create a route by tracing the points so that you can request guidance along the route.
Just got the app. Got the $20 a year option. When I went to Wallowa National Forest to plan a route there are tracks all over the map. How do I erase everyone else's tracks, and start fresh? Little confused as to why there are so many tracks on my map.
Thanks,
Karl
Disregard that last post. Just found the Public Tracks button. Thanks!
