Preferred Devices
There are hundreds of GPS devices out there that you can use to collect data for posting on our site. GPS files must be in GPX format, an open file format for tracking GPS data. If your device does not export data in GPX format, you can use GPSBabel to convert the data.
The devices below are a couple of our favorites.
iPhone & iTrail
With iTrail on the iPhone, you can upload trips directly from the iPhone to our site. If you’ve got an iPhone and need a painless way to upload your trips, look no further. iTrail is available in the iTunes App Store.
Garmin Forerunner 405
We love this little GPS. Unlike the iPhone, it is waterproof, durable and fits on your wrist, making it great for activities that might break a more sensitive device. You can purchase the Garmin Forerunner 405 at Amazon.com
Recent versions of Garmin Training Center support exporting trips to GPX. Simply export your data with the .gpx file extension, then upload the file to Trailmapping.
