The answer was: 'Thanks, we are aware of Garmin related GPX file incompatibilities.

I also had trouble uploading my Garmin-generated gps files to the Gaia GPS website, so I wrote to them in December, 2016.

Another website suggested I use zip files, so I sent one to my friend and he said 'I have izip pro app on my iPad and it unzipped the file and I opened it in Gaia - very smooth!' I have added zip files to each Regional page. The Gaia GPS support representative was able to use a gpx file from this site after running it through Adze. He says to save the file in Dropbox and then import it to Gaia GPS on his iPad. I do not use the iOS version but asked a friend how he uses my files for Gaia GPS on his iPad.Use Safari, not Chrome, as your browser.Turns out Gaia GPS has a problem with gpx files generated with a Garmin program such as BaseCamp (which I use) and MapSource.

iOS users report to me that they cannot use Gaia GPS to download tracks from this website.

I will leave the problem list on for a while as a precaution. Newer Gaia versions that work are Gaia GPS Hiking Maps, Hike App for IOS and Gaia GPS: Hiking Maps, Topo Maps, Hike App (Beta) for Android. It appears the problems listed below have been solved as of February, 2018.

Click Save and you will download a gpx file.

Change the 3 letters after the dot from 'xml' to 'gpx'.

The box will turn blue so you can edit it.

Click in the File Name: box (Not the Save as type: box).

The dialog will want you to save it as an xml file.

Right click 'Download File' and choose 'Save target as.'.

Workaround for Edge and Internet Explorer

I also see in your site you already posted a workaround on how to change the file extension when downloading from these browsers.'Ĭhrome and Firefox work fine, so you can use one of them or you can use the workaround below. ''We'll be looking to improve this in future updates but to be honest we don't have any estimated time. Technically speaking, treating the gpx file as xml file is correct, so in the long run it's just a limitation of our file element to tell IE / Edge that the file must be handled as a gpx instead of xml file. We've checked this and we believe this is just how Internet Explorer / Edge are treating the. I contacted Weebly in December, 2016 and received the following answer: Edge and Internet Explorer work fine to download gpx files on non-Weebly sites. This website is hosted by Weebly, and this is a Weebly problem. Well, this is a revolting development! If you click on 'Download File' with Edge or Internet Explorer you will get a page of gibberish. I had no problems on Microsoft Edge 41.16299.15.0 It appears this problem has been fixed, but I will leave it up here for a while.
