    iOS Editor for GPX files

    Hello: I seek a means of directly editing GPX files in the iOS (iPad & iPhone) environment. I need the ability to trim, simplify, and split tracks and I would like the additional abilities to alter and merge tracks as well as edit descriptions, etc. I'm aware that this can be done with at...

    Fault Code reader

    Hello Kevin: Following from pdf of workshop manual purchased online for Canters sold in USA from 2012 through 2016. Brief comparison to workshop manual for 2017 suggests process is the same for that year. As I mentioned above this lets you read the numeric codes. Interpreting what those codes...

    Fault Code reader

    While I don't know for sure, I suspect this code reader is similar to what you can determine & clear via the diagnostic access through your dash. That allows reading many error codes (interpreting the code takes a shop manual) as well as clearing many of them. However, that diagnostic tool and...

    E-bikes?

    I’m just too weak to take an E-bike on the sort of adventure pedals that interest me the most!:

    GDMTBR Anybody do it?

    Hello John: You've probably already run across this, but the forums at bikepacking.net are packed with information and refreshingly free of scorn and cantankerous dribble. There is a lot of information on the GDMBR spread among several of the subforums. The Ultra Racing subforum is a good...

    GDMTBR Anybody do it?

    Hello John: I've not done the Divide, nor any trips that long. I've thought about it a bit and here are my ideas about your points: Bike - Of the bikes I currently ride, I'd use my Salsa Cutthroat. According to many accounts much of that 2800 miles is suited to a relaxed geometry drop bar...

    2020 Gaia Topo Map

    Hello Outback97: Well, it took some sleuthing, but I think I found your area. Below is a screen shot from my iPad with the new Gaia Topo map sized as best I could to match the image from your phone. This is at the same scale as your image. It shows quite a bit more detail than the image you...

    2020 Gaia Topo Map

    Hello Outback97: Thanks for the newer comparison. The right panel still doesn't look completely correct for the newer map - at least compared to areas I used for comparison when I had access to both versions. Here is a comparison with the old map on the left (from my iPhone) and the new map...

    2020 Gaia Topo Map

    Hello Outback97: There are a couple of possibly confusing factors. There are two new components - app versions and Gaia Topo Map versions. The app is how you see and the map is what you see. As I understand it, there are three means of seeing (apps) that might let you see the 2020 Gaia Topo...

    2020 Gaia Topo Map

    The previous "current" version was vector in iOS. The new 2020 Gaia Topo is also vector but with different content as explained at thislink. This link explains how to access the map and whether upgrades are required. If you want any map as part of a multilayer configuration I think you need...

    2020 Gaia Topo Map

    Fellow Wanders: Gaia has recently released a new version of their Gaia Topo map layer. I've spent a little time with it on my iOS devices and Windows computer (via GoogleChrome). If you're interested, visit this link which explains access. Apparently it is available for Android users willing...

    Garmin inReach for Papua Backcountry

    I agree with Shade’s suggestions. Two additional considerations: 1. Ease of keying - Both units started out as emergency communications devices but have now combined remote texting with emergency communications. The Garmin units with which I’m familiar (and use frequently) have relatively...

    Possible front end damage

    Hello seagulljim: Short answer - Yes it may be possible, but hopefully unlikely. I know three FGs with modified front suspension that have experienced contact between the yoke and the sump. I can only speak of the details in my case as I only heard of the other two from the owners. We were...

    E-bikes?

    In many areas riders of traditional, non-motorized bicycles struggle to exercise their legal right to travel safely upon public roadways along with motorized vehicles. Some of the fault is with riders who fail to follow the laws and regulations of all vehicular travel on such roadways and some...

    Easier Airing up.........?

    We went with the "all four tires at once" system and like it alot. Our truck has an onboard compressor and a five gallon tank. We have a disconnect near every wheel and four "whips" with disconnect fittings, chucks, and lever valves. We also have an additional very high output portable...

    Can the iPad really be used as an out-of-signal range, off-road GPS device?

    Hello Jeep or Tacoma: I think that the download limits depend upon the source of the maps you might download from Gaia - some sources place smaller limits than others. One source, I can't remember which, places an overall limit on the number of tiles you can download - I don't use any of those...

    Budget 7" tablet ? (under $200)

    Hello Allyncooper: In my experience the detailed map layers within Gaia I prefer most for the type of travel you suggest is USFS Topo 2016 and Public Lands overlay with the Gaia Topo, World Imagery, and USGS Topo in supporting roles. For vast overviews Open Street Map is really helpful as it...
