Make Gaia an "open with" or "share to" option for gpx files
I was quite frustrated to find that Gaia was not an option for opening gpx files I've downloaded.
I also wish it showed up as an option when I try to share a track or waypoint from another app.
Edit... Wait, maybe I haven't tried everything yet... Not totally sure it's impossible.

Ezra,
I'd expect Gaia GPS to be an option for opening GPX files.
Some common issues could be:
1. Improperly formatted GPX file (you could send me a copy if you think this might be the case)
2. A different GPS program is set as the default for opening GPX files (a feature of some Android devices)
For opening in Gaia GPS from other programs - you could message those app developers and request that Gaia GPS get added as an option.

Thanks Ashli!
1. I don't actually have the file to check. My main use for this is trying to navigate to where a photo was taken (obviously, photos from the gallery, not photos taken with Gaia). I hit "open with" and would love it if Gaia, my favorite app, showed up as an option...
2. Not the issue. See picture...https://imgur.com/MWKjxPQ

Hi Pieter,
These steps from Samsung may help you change the default apps: https://www.samsung.com/my/support/mobile-devices/how-to-clear-and-change-default-apps-on-android/
If that doesn't, I would recommend following these steps to import the GPX file into Gaia GPS:- Open the Gaia GPS app
- Tap the + icon
- Select "Import File" from the menu list
- Locate the file on your device
