Howdy, new user  here. I wish to download a  higher res map that follows the track of my Tour Divide bike  route. The route is over 2000 miles long.  The mid res map is just not detailed enough.  How do I break up my route so I can get smaller, high resolution maps? Do I have to break up the gpx track into smaller portions and can I do that in the app?  I know I can download tiles for the whole route in separate downloads. Using the android version of the app. Thank you.

  Thanks for posting. To use the “Download Maps Along a Track” feature, you will need to break the route up into smaller sections to get a higher resolution map. While Gaia GPS isn't able to manipulate tracks like this, there are some great user-friendly tools that allow you to do this. I recommend using http://www.gpxeditor.co.uk/ to split up the track into sections.
  
  Alternatively, you can also manually select the download area in the app and select the resolution you need. Follow these steps to learn how.
