GPX Reader App Reviews

GPX Reader is one of my favourite motorcycle trip planning apps. I use Garmin Base Camp to create a basic route, then use GPX Reader to view the route in hybrid mode. Hybrid mode combines satellite with map views so its easy to zoom in and search out remote roads not easily found. Some of my best trips where planned with the help of GPX Reader. Thanks

Still apparently doesnt work.

The map plots all of my points but doesnt label them. I have no idea what point is what.

good soft, but I need the map to re-center on my position, and rotation to read on country side format. Plans limitations?

Import GPX via Url works fine Should save a list of all gpx urls

This was what I wanted to do with my GPX files . As I have a iPod touch this app mapped my gpx files. Works for me.

A great tool. Works fine. I use it to organize trip for my motorcycle club. I import my gpx files using Dropbox and i am very satisfied. But… - should have an option to keep screen turned on during tracking (difficult to touch the screen to keep it on while driving) - should have an option to follow current position on the map (same reason)

The app does at it advertises. Handles GPX and TCX files. The "Open..In" feature allowing you to open maps from other apps works great. The interface is simple and elegant. It also works nicely on the iPad. Only suggestion to the developer would be to make the track in a more evident color.

i can not get waypoints to show waypoint name. does this app have that funtion with out it i am just looking at pins on a map.

GPX Reader is a great addition to Apple Maps. For over 10 years I have logged my GPS tracks, when on vacation, or riding my motorcycle. I logged most tracks with a Garmin eTrex, and recorded, viewed, draw, and play back my tracks with GARtrip, on my home computer or laptop. A problem with GARtrip, is that it does not interface easily with map software, so it can be difficult to draw your track on a map, but it does let you export your track to other formats like GPX. I have exported most of my old tracks to GPX format and stored them in Dropbox. Now when I return to an area that I had been to many years ago, I can follow an old track, by just reloading from Dropbox with GPX Reader. One feature GPX Reader lacks is a way to read a track point, so you might tell the time and date that you created the original track. This is well worth a buck to relive a special place, from the past.

Useless app. I load a GPX track from a weekend ride. I get straight lines between the points instead of the roads I covered. Useless. Please give me $1.99 back and the 10 minutes out of my life.

It has an intuitive interface; easily integrates with Dropbox (and I guess iCloud and URLs as well). But be aware that there is very little off-line capability. i.e. you can only open a new GPX file if you have on-line access; it seems that there is no ability to store GPX files on the iPhone. If you have a file loaded with no internet connectivity, then obviously the satellite imagery will not update, but since the GPS receiver should work, you should be able to determine whether or not you are following the pre-assigned path. However, until you get internet access again, this will be the only route you can see/follow. Overall, I think its worth the asking price.

I am an adventure motorcyclist who often follows downloaded GPS tracks. My Garmin is great for navigating them, but when in a hotel I often want to review the next days tracks on a larger screen. This app allows me to pull a GPX file out of my Dropbox for review on my iPad.

when I try to load a gpx file, the app immediately crashes on my 5S iPhone. This is the only reason I bought the app, so a complete fail...

Really great app. Works well and is useful. Would like to see iCloud Drive integration and the ability to star files for offline use. Would also be nice to see a few stats like elevation gained or average speed. Keep up the good work!

It was working great until I updated the app yesterday, now it doesnt work

Was working great. Liked this app now just crashes please update soon!

8.0 worked. I was hoping for a fix with some of the settings, so I upgraded. Now it crashes before it loads. I shoulda read the earlier review. Wish I could indicate 0 stars.

3/12/15 Update: Still crashes at launch in 8.2. Was working great in iOS8, updated to 8.1 and crashes before the app can load. Support website has been down for days. #fail

Screen orientation is only in landscape mode, no portrait ? Has to be an oversight. Hope it gets addressed soon. I hate the green banner, just takes up valuable real-estate; for what we really want to see..... The map! Positives: the app does what it says. Good looking map and the .gpx file overlays perfectly. I used it today to track a 325mi trip I planned out in Garmin BaseCamp. This app read it and kept up with the live location flawlessly.
