GPS & Digital Data Discussion / Re: Android App to view GDMBR gpx

« on: June 13, 2013, 09:25:42 pm »

I was able to download the entire route from Paula & Scott's site:
http://topofusion.com/divide/gps.php
File: "TourDivide2012_v2.gpx - Tour Divide 2012 "official" [GPX format, 1.6MB]"

I then downloaded it to my Google Drive and then opened the Track in Maverick. It worked!

I also uploaded the same gpx file to Google Maps in My Places clicking Create and Import. It doesn't display in one long track but multiple pages.
This is the link: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=217208386028905389678.0004df10496094dfd6aca&msa=0

I can now see the whole route on the Google Maps android app by going to Layers, My Maps,  and clicking on the file I uploaded into My Places in Google Maps on my laptop.

I found that if i choose Waypoints instead of Tracks, I am able to see the ACA gpx files in Maverick!

I will try the two apps you suggest also.

I also came across a nice iPhone app call TrackMyTour used by @ridedivide to create an online map of your journey for friends and family to follow along. It's a very nice app. It lets you create Waypoints offline, and submit later when you are connected. It will post to Twitter and Facebook too. Wish it was available in Android.

#1 priority would be to load the ACA gpx file on the phone and see it on a map with my current location to see if I'm on track. I'd be satisfied if I could only do this when I have an internet signal although it would be nice if I could do it with a GPS signal.
#2 priority would be to have the capability of storing some maps with gpx tracks offline.  I've got Maverick Pro and have imported the gpx files but can't see them when I go to the map.

GPS & Digital Data Discussion / Android App to view GDMBR gpx

I'm looking for an Android App to view the ACA gpx files of the GDMBR, overlaid on a GPS map indicating my position relative to the route. I mainly want to use it when I come into population centers to find my way through and as a supplement to the paper maps. It would be nice to have the offline capability. I've looked at a bunch, but none seem to be satisfactory. Maverick, OruxMaps, Backcountry Navigator, Gpsies, ViewRanger, GPX Viewer, MapswithMe, MyTracks, EveryTrail...none seems to fit the bill. Anyone out there have any experience or suggestions?
