View public tracka on mobile app (or at least the mobile site)
Public tracks are a major source of trip planning, and I don't always have my computer with me. Accessing these tracks on a mobile device would really make this product a lot better so my safety and trip planning are not impacted if I don't have access to a computer, and even if I do, so I do not have to switch between devices, which is not a great user experience. The modern day expectation is parity across devices.

Thanks for the info. Though I feel that's a 'workaround', it would be far more useful if the tracks would be overlaid on the map, instead of having to search for some trail on the map and having to click the info icon. Also I don't (and others may not either) use the Gaia Topo as my default map, so it also requires to change the map layer every time (the web page version supports overlaying the public tracks on any map layer)
> Also, you can browse known routes based on public tracks in the app by tapping the Discover icon in the bottom toolbar.
Yeah, but the problem with that is that it always starts off with showing me hikes 'near me', so it's very cumbersome to look for hikes in a specific area. An option to having this search for hikes depending on the current map location would be awesome (see my feature request here: https://help.gaiagps.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360023308794-Discover-new-hikes-using-map-center-location)
Thanks for listening!
