GPS Apps - GPX data

[khm4252]

Are there any GPS apps out there that let you upload a GPX file so that it can guide you along MTB routes when you are in new areas?

 

Lots of MTB places have GPX files one can get from their websites which can be uploaded to a Garmin but can this be done on an iPhone apps?

I use an iOS app called MAPP.

 

You can open gpx files with it from email. It shows your position in relation to the route with cellular data turned off.

 

It runs really smooth, and I have downloaded topographical maps with contour lines for the entire South Africa for R32.

 

I only use it on long exploration rides, and when cellular data is turned off battery life is great, and I have a cigarette box sized power bank for back up as well.

 

The app can also record routes and navigate you on those routes when you ride them again.

 

Example of how it looks like, it will show your position as a blue dot:

This is really nice!

Do they support android, and do they have maps of europe for instance? Would love to use it on a possible trip next year
