Batch color change and grouping

[Michael Kaplan]

I am a volunteer with the US Forest Service (USFS).  We have been working with the FS to correctly 'sign' the roads and trails and to inventory them in the Tonto National Forest.  The FS has a huge list of trails that need to be inspected and then trouble spots (washouts, repairs, etc) documented and correct signage implemented.  They provide our routes in GPX format which is exported from their GIS software.  In the GIS it is all color coded (red for trails that need to be inspected, green for ones that are completed, yellow for ones that need attention, etc.)  but when we import the GPX data into Gaia GPS all that color coding is gone and each track gets a separate color.  It is possible to change that color individually (in Android at least), but there are literally thousands of tracks.  We are looking for two features:

1.  Retaining track color when importing in GPX files (if possible, I understand that may not be part of the GPX data) or changing track color in batches which can be done after the import.  

2.  Grouping or flagging tracks into categories in the track list.  This would allow us to 'turn on' the tracks for a certain area so we don't have to see all the tracks for the entire forest.  We could at least group them by ranger district.

I have posted a thread up in our forum to inquire about any other changes our members may have.  But thought this would be a good starting point.  We have a couple of hundred of members currently and are growing quickly.  If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me

Hi Michael,

Thanks for writing.

1) Can you send over a GPX file to sup...@gaiagps.com? I'll flag a bug to support importing colors on Android - we guess it's the Garmin tag everyone uses.

2) We're working on a Groups feature too, for imports and otherwise organizing data. We're trying to get that done this year.

Regards,

Andrew

I assume that email address is sup...@gaiagps.com. (it is being truncated in my view) I will send one of our recent GPX imports shortly. Thanks Andrew.
