GPSies is a very cool website set up by Klaus Bechtold that shares your GPS tracks, allowing everyone to upload and download tracks very easily and view in Google maps.
Tracks are available to download in a range of file types from KXML to GPX , there is also a quick and easy option to export tracks to your Garmin GPS too.
But with so many tracks available it’s good to see that an excellent search facility is provided. Search results can also be filtered by the following catagories: By Foot, By Wheel, By Motor, On Water, At Winter and Others.
Once you’ve found an interesting track, detailed information can be viewed for it including an altitude profile, and users can provide feedback via ratings, so you’ll know if the track is going to be good or not!
But it’s not just us Joe Public using the site as I was delighted to see that MBR Magazine uploads their routes to the site, currently they have 52 tracks uploaded, see below,
