Trouble with Trailadvocate.org

Post by miah66 » August 3rd, 2016, 11:59 am

I love the site, and I believe a moderator there frequents this site, so I was hoping they could answer a question.

In the past I could download a .gpx track of a trail that I wanted. Now when I click on the link for a particular trail, it opens a webpage with xml metadata gibberish and I can't figure out how to save the information as a .gpx file instead of opening a webpage w/ text. Anyone know why this is happening? It seems like it didn't use to do that.

Thanks!

The XML gibberish is the GPX data. Just right-click on the GPX link and tell your browser to "Save Link As..." or "Save Target As..." or some such.

Oh, i didn't realize you could save it AS a gpx file! Right click to the rescue. Thanks Adam, you saved the day.

Note to mods: Feel free to erase this thread, issue solved.
