So I loaded up into Gaia GPS (on iPhone) the GPX file with the campsite ratings. We're heading to the BWCA shortly, and I thought those might be helpful.

For the life of me, however, I can't find the campsite ratings in Gaia. Anyone familiar with Gaia on iPhone that can guide me there?

Once the gpx file is loaded, you should see icons for the campsites (mine are red tear drop pins). Click on one, and Gaia should list a bunch of stuff at the bottom. Click on the one that lists the campsite number, and it should be there. Not all campsites are rated in the file I have.

This issue was resolved. He had a version of the file with and a version without the ratings.

Thanks for the reply! I think the problem was: I first loaded the GPX of campsites w/o the ratings, and then loaded the GPX with ratings. Gaia didn't seem to override the initial file load, or add the rating info. So I had to delete BOTH files from the "saved" list, and then reload the GPX _with_ campsites.

I've been using the Gaia app for a few years now and really like it, but this is the first I've heard about BWCA campsite ratings. I found the page on here with the downloads, but I wasn't certain if it was limited to the BW or included Quetico too. Next trip is to Quetico (yay!) and would be cool to get that info on my Gaia app if available.

Thanks

Does that file have Q info for portages/ campsites?
