KML files for Avenza Maps.

[Tom]

A while back I converted all the trail gpx files for much of colorado

Here’s a link. Feel free to use.

Ok - I am trying to learn Avenza a bit. As many of you know I am pretty analog and paper map focused. But Avenza was used a lot this weekend as part of my avalanche course and many of the guides are recommending over my traditional Garmin GPS (I think mostly for the ability to overlay other information such as wind vector maps and to easily get slope angle shading).

So, how would I use these KML files - are they also an overlay that I need to import from my own device memory (after downloading them from here). There is a limit to the number of 'active' maps I can load from my collection (as opposed to from Avenza store) - do I have a limit with these overlays?

Okay - that is what I figured. Maybe its just temporary, but my free account allows 3 personal maps to be downloaded 'active'. I just don't want to use of up any of my personal map allowances using the KML files. I did find and download most all the free MVUMs I am interested in from the store and put them in their own folder. Now I am working some USGS topo maps...would be nice to overlay the MVUMs over the topos and put the KMLs on that as well. I am always frustrated the MVUMs don't have any topo features.

James they may have changed it from one to three. When it first went commercial they only allowed one. Prior to that there was no limit. I don’t know of anyway to overlay maps. The kml files will overlay on topos though.

But the paid versions allow more than 1 or 3 user maps, no?



(I'm still on the old, unlimited version, thus will hold off upgrading unless y'all sway me for some new feature)

I have the Avenza app and I"ve downloaded probably 10 different maps..... I have all the MVUM maps for the areas I frequent and a few other topo and historical maps for fun. Not sure what you mean by being limited to 3 maps but like I said I have around 10 maps downloaded (however I do not use KML or whatever you guys are talking about). I'm also not very high-tech but I love this one because the blue dot shows where you are on the map as you use it.... which I love!
