This article will help you customize which data display on your maps.
You’ll learn how to show or hide your waypoints, tracks, routes, areas, saved hikes, and folders.
- Use the 'eye' icon to toggle the visibility of individual items or folders.
- Use Map Overlays to declutter the map in bulk, by type.

1. From the main map, click the Folder icon to open the Saved Items Sidebar
2. Click the eye icon to hide or unhide an item.

Folders
You can have more control over showing and hiding items from the map if you organize with folders. For more information, see: Managing Folders on gaiagps.com
Folder Visibility Notes:
- Hiding a folder hides all data in the folder.
- Showing a folder shows all data in the folder.
- Similar to Map Overlays, a ‘visible’ folder can contain both shown and hidden items.
Show or Hide All of a Type of Data
You can hide (or show) tracks, routes, areas, waypoints, waypoint labels, Public Tracks, and Grid Lines all from the Map Overlays section of the Layers menu.
By default, all of your saved data is visible on the main map view. However, your map may become cluttered over time. You can follow these steps to clear your map:
1. Click the Overlays icon in the sidebar.
2. Toggle any of the Map Overlay options on or off.
