I have hiked one area several times on different trails, and want to merge all the tracks into one. Can I do this in the Gaia GPS app or with some other app on IOS?

Hey Alan,

In Gaia GPS, you can combine the tracks in one export. if you go to the Saved tab, and tap the menu button in the top right, there is an option for "Export Tracks." 

This will create one GPX file, which can then be imported to many other programs. Programs are likely to treat the tracks in the GPX file as separate objects, and behavior may vary.

What are you trying to do exactly, that you need the tracks merged?

Regards,
Andrew

One area that I have hiked in, I have 6 separate tracks. Now I can turn them on to display on the map when I hike, but it would be nice to combine all the tracks together so that I have only 1 track in my list. And then next time I hike there I should turn on that one big combined track to add any new trails I hike in that area to the same track.
PS: sorry for the delay in responding. I thought that I had subscribed to see any updates to my question, but I don't think I ever got an email. I'll have to check on it.

Hi Alan,

You may want to vote for this idea, which would allow users to group tracks and waypoints into folders: http://help.gaiagps.com/forums/118985-ideas-for-gaia-gps/suggestions/3330800-ability-to-create-folders-for-tracks-and-waypointsThen you could group your tracks together, and turn them on/off together, as if they were one track.  Otherwise, if you want to combine tracks, take a track and "continue recording" from your track's saved details screen so your old track and the one you are currently recording are saved as one track.

Thanks for your feedback and please let me know if you have any other questions or comments.

Regards,
Savannah
