I think I may be asking something that has already been asked here, and I tried to read other threads but not sure they completely make sense to me.  

There is a PDF Map (2 actually) for the Knobstone Trail in Indiana available in PDF online.  I don't believe they are "georeferenced" however, the map has UTM coordinates for spots listed on the map.  

The link to the map is here: https://www.in.gov/dnr/forestry/4224.htm ; one map PDF link is: https://www.in.gov/dnr/forestry/files/or-ktnorth.pdf

I downloaded MapTiler but still not entirely sure what i'm doing with it.  

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.  I'd love to be able to have this as a map layer within Gaia.

  And if i'm reading correctly, Gaia developers are working on a streamlined way for this to happen?  Targeted for completion by 2019?  

   

  Thanks again for any info.

  Thanks for posting and yes, we are looking into adding the option to import geo-referenced PDFs.
  
  In the meantime, you can import the map as a custom map source in Gaia GPS using MapTiler. Once the map has been geo-referenced, you will need to host it and then it can be imported to Gaia GPS here: https://www.gaiagps.com/mapsource/add/.
  
  Here's a great article from MapTiler with more information on hosting map sources: https://www.maptiler.com/how-to/hosting/.
