View the upload under your “My Folders” page where you can edit the name or file it into your folders.

Open your folder to view statistics, write a description, and upload photos. Combine multiple files into one folder to get aggregate stats and maps.

Using the gaiagps.com custom map source import feature, skip those steps—test the TMS source right from the website and save it to your account with the click of a button.
