How to use a GPX file
A GPX file is the line of the trail as a list of map points. Most outdoor apps can show it on the map and warn you when you leave it:
- Garmin watches and handhelds: in Garmin Connect, go to Courses and import the file, then send it to the device.
- Komoot: on the website, open the planner and import a GPX file; it then syncs to the app.
- Gaia GPS, OsmAnd and Organic Maps: open or import the file from your phone's downloads. Download the offline map of the area too, because many of these trails have no signal.
Multi-day routes come as one file with the whole trail. The day-by-day split is on each route page.
Before you rely on it
- The tracks come from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, Open Database License). Volunteers keep them up to date, but trails get rerouted after landslides or for conservation, so follow the signs on the ground when they disagree.
- Some routes have variants and side trips. The file follows the main line; the route page shows the alternatives.
- A track is not a forecast: check the weather, the snow and the hut or permit rules for your dates.
- Carry a paper map or a second device on long or remote trips. Phones die in the cold.
