V19E1: How Do I View GPX Files?

Whether I'm traveling by four-wheel drive vehicle, or on foot, I have GAIA GPS recording a track log. Potable water source? That's a waypoint. Remote campsite? That's a waypoint. Impassable crevasse? Waypoint. Taco Bell? Yes, even that is a waypoint! I've been archiving my movement for over five years (as of September 2022) into weekly GPX files, but what are they? How do I view them? In this video, I show you how!

ABOUT THE JEEP - BY OK4WD

[AmputeeAdventureChannel]

Very useful information. This is handy to know for when we hit the road! Thanks Chris

[dcmore]

I miss seeing what this jeep can really do out there and the remote places that you have been to. But I will keep checking in every Saturday because I do enjoy your channel!! I will just go back and watch the older videos V3-V10

[STinGa]

Thanks for the tutorial. I definitely found this informative and am looking forward to exploring some of the places that you have been.

[nickward]

Thanks Chris, always interesting to dive into the capabilities of the software we are using

[arnoldosuna]

Pretty informative content, thanks for taking the time to put this tutorial together, very helpful Chris. Now, hit the backroads.

[grnpnzer]

Even for the tech savvy folks here Chris. This was helpful. Thnx!

[bobmasters]

Anything with navigation is very very helpful to ones that are computer
'challenged' like me. thanks chris

[PierceFiercex]

Y’all gotta chill in these comments, let the man live

[nathanklemm]

Well evidently I’m a minority viewer on this channel. I loved this! Thank you for putting this together, Chris. I love getting out there but I’m also a map geek and it’s great to see how different people organize and keep track of their adventures. Much appreciated for the excellent fan service. Hopefully the couple of us who keep requesting this didn’t get you into too much trouble with the….others. Back to the regularly scheduled programming?

[JendellOverland]

Thanks Chris for this video, this was extremely helpful.

[GetOverItOutdoors]

Thank you! So much good information! Always had to stumble my way thru this. This video will save me so much time and frustration.

[MotoringAdventures_KESAI]

Love that pan you did of the Gaia gps tracks! Seeing them all on the map, even though it wasn’t all the places you’ve been, really gives some of the scope of your travels! Like the Johnny Cash song, you’ve literally been everywhere!

[jandyallday]

Have you done much exploration in North Carolina/Tennessee?

[workaccount]

What are your favorite maps/layers to use with Gaia?

[stephanecorriveau]

Amusing: Hearing the low hum of (what I believe to be) your refrigerator's compressor in the background made me thing I was hearing my own.

[GoPro-TV]

Would I be able to do this on the Samsung smartwatch7

How are you viewing the Gaia .gpx tracks on your mini when off-line? My main complaint using the phone or computer for viewing .gpx files is that I need to constantly download maps of many areas for offline viewing of the tracks. I guess there's no way to download the entire country base maps?

[chrismcgady]

I’m a big fan of this channel and have been so for years. Just my honest feedback, I think just the title of this episode, by itself, is going to cause a lot of potential viewers to skip this episode. I’ll give it a watch and hope it will exceed my expectations.

Edit. I just watched the video. It is not a very interesting video IMO, though I know some will enjoy it.

Chris I got a phone # that ask me to contact, was that you? Just being careful 👍
