I'm registered and preparing for my trip to Easter Jeep Safari, and part of my prep is getting some off line maps and trail data.
I am having trouble getting the kml data into my ipad in a useful form. Each kml (one per trail downloaded from red rock 4x4) shows up as 20 or 30 separate tracks. Ugh. I have 100s of separate tracks in Gaia GPS now.
OK, Solved, sort of. Here's what I've learned so far.
Each EJS kml file contains multiple tracks, so do not load them to the Gaia GPS cloud unless you want LOTS of tracks per trail. There's no bulk delete in the cloud, so I had 100s of tracks to clean out (super tedious).
Most gps editors I tried were a pain in the rear; however, "GPS Babel" allowed me to save the KML files as GPX, and "GPS Track Editor" 's merge function pretty painlessly combined the separate tracks into one. I tried this out on the Fins and Things kml from red rock 4x4, and Gai GPS treats it as a single track. The track is wonky sequence wise, but it looks like one track on the map (and thus usable).
Yay! Now I just need to convert the rest of the trails I'm going on.
