How to use the trails maps in the BLR Hikes guide

Use GaiaGPS to navigate the trail

With each trail, I have linked a map.

To use it, you can use the GaiaGPS app.

Alternatives to GaisGPS / Download GPX file

Alternatively, each trail will have a GPX file download link on its page (near the title, to the right), you can download that file and use it with an GPS tracking app of your choice. You can you this file with your GPS watch too.

Some GPS apps apart from GaisGPS

• OsmAnd
• MapsWithMe
• Strava (Following a route using Strava)

Troubleshooting

Even after accepting the invite, you might not be able to see the trails in the GaiaGPS app.

Once you ensure that you're accepted the invite, either via email or app, do the following.

1. While connected to the internet, in your GaiaGPS mobile app, go to the "saved" tab.
2. Pull down from the top, to start syncing. You should see a loader.
3. Once the loader disappears, you will see "updated just now". You should now have access to the trails.
