We have had a lot of questions about what GPS we use and how to use gpx files. in this episode of possible a new series, we do an overview of Gaia and explain how to use gpx files.

Excellent info for downloading GPX files. I've been using Gaia for several years (primarily GWNF) and downloading GPX files is the next level. Your trip reports are excellent/info filled and for me most valuable because they are east coast and specifically Mid-Atlantic focused. The AZ, UT, etc trips are epic but usually once a year endeavors. Mid-Atlantic trips are something my brother and I do multiple times a year since we are northern Virginia based and both retired. Nothing like the excitement of exploring a new trail, thanks!

Great info. I just downloaded Gaia premium two days ago and just started figuring my way around. This video came with good timing and helps me out with that a ton. You guys got me interested in the DBBCB a few days ago and I’ve been searching for good OHV roads and planning trips ever since.

The maps which I create on the PC version of Gaia are visable on my Galaxy S9 phone via the Garmin cloud; however, the Backcountry Discovery Routes GPX maps which were downloaded from the BDR website to my Windows 11 browser don't seem to be uploading to the Gaia colud, or at least my phone can't find them. If I try to directly download the GPS maps from the BDR website to my phone I get an error saying that GPX files aren't supported. I am almost certain that I read from the Gaia site that they are supported. Nice tutorial in the intermediate category.

Try clicking the import tab in Gaia desktop and then locate the gpx file that you want to import. Then make sure sync in enables in Gaia GPS on your phone app. Hope this helps

This was a great overview. I have GAIA but it's due to be renewed. This video prompted me to renew. Does Gaia have an option for sharing files with public? It seems like they would, do you make your files shareable?

i dont know if you have a website or a facebook page..... but it would be awesome if you had one place to share these files so i could visit places youve been or follow your tracks! i know most people make this into a $ game and want people to pay for this. that part is up to you i guess!

We do have a FB page. Maybe I should figure out how to put a files tab on there. I don't mind sharing our tracks as they are all on public land. You are right a lot of people are doing the patron thing these days. I think I like Coyote Works thought on this. He has a paypal account setup and you can donate if you want but you don't HAVE to buy anything. We are doing this channel to encourage others to get away from the everyday rat race and enjoy life. We don't feel like everything needs to have a price.
