There is a lot of tools on the web that help you merge the gpx file. Just to be sure the earlier trips need to be merged first. Just google 'merge gpx files'.GPS Hikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194949433405975879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700604689493363556.post-1441502283009770832016-11-16T22:54:03.935-08:002016-11-16T22:54:03.935-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17725084125273582275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700604689493363556.post-75642477856287144412016-11-16T22:53:37.029-08:002016-11-16T22:53:37.029-08:00Is it possible to combine tracks from several trip...Is it possible to combine tracks from several trips on one map?

Tried using jpeg and png images from the iPhone as maps on your app. The files are smaller than 500 x 500 pixels and when I chose Local Image File, it does not display any files from the phone to chose from, even though the images show in the iPhone under Photos with the rest of the photos. What needs to be done not to be able to use a custom map image from my phone as a map on GPS Hiker?

For example, do I need to transfer the image file from my computer to GPS Hiker's document folder via iTunes, and does the image file need an associated calibration file?

When you delete a offline map with the origin of local image file, all map tiles created locally will be removed automatically. To delete a offline map, right swipe at the item in the Offline Maps list. For the KMZ file, use iTune to go to GPS Hiker's document folder and delete it there.GPS Hikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194949433405975879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700604689493363556.post-72975293127009914082014-02-01T23:59:42.792-08:002014-02-01T23:59:42.792-08:00Thanks to have this nice feature and I have tried ...Thanks to have this nice feature and I have tried it successfully on my iPad. However, I also found two problems:<br />1. The app cannot show the png file greater than 100M.<br />2.
