Is it possible to view GPS tracks on a Google or iOS road map on iOS? A friend I was showing my off-road KML tracks to asked how to create & view offline *road* map tracks on his iPhone in Google or Apple Maps. I mostly view "my" KML tracks in Google Earth, but they're not road maps (they're terrain maps with roads). https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-earth/id293622097?mt=8 Googling, it looks like "Galileo Offline Maps", by Evgen Bodunov freeware can *view* KML tracks on a decent offline OSM road map: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/galileo-offline-maps-osm-based/id321745474?mt=8 And, the previously noted "Map Plus", by Zax, freeware can both *create* and *view* KML tracks on offline OSM road maps: Map Plus (Offline Map + GPS Track + KML Editing), by Zax https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/map-plus-offline-map-+-gps/id438868200?mt=8 Both of those OSM map apps work, but the gold standard for road maps is either Google or Apple maps on iOS. In iOS, is it possible to view GPS tracks on a Google or Apple road map?

I was in the process of deleting MotionX GPS HD, when I suddenly realized that the thing that made it useless for hiking, made it actually useful for road driving! Digging into the settings, it turns out that MotionX GPS HD has the capability of tracking and viewing on a variety of road maps! 1. Google Maps 2. Apple Maps 3. Bing Maps 4. MotionX Maps So, the answer to the question is that I can move MotionX GPS HD from the "Hiking" folder to the "Driving" folder, and then it simply becomes a tracking/routing program for Google (road) Maps. Voila!

Pay better attention. Oh, come on JR; it is obvious that someone posting his first message as "King Arthur" (but hardly likely that it is his first message here) knows who the troll is. All he has to do is look in the mirror. -- Michelle

If Google Earth runs on iOS, this should work.
=========================================================================
How to view KML tracks on a topographic map on Google Earth on the PC:
0. Download the entire USA USGS topographic map for Google Earth:
Go to http://www.earthpoint.us/TopoMap.aspx
Press the "View on Google Earth" button
This will Download "EarthPointTopoMap_024802.kml"
Save as: /tmp/EarthPointTopoMap_024802.kml
1. Load the USA USGS topographic map into Google Earth on Linux:
$ googleearth /tmp/EarthPointTopoMap_024802.kml & (this didn't work)
$ googleearth &
GoogleEarth: File > Open > /tmp/EarthPointTopoMap_024802.kml
GoogleEarth: View > Sidebar
2. Select the Earth Point Topo Map USGS Quandrangles:
GoogleEarth: Places > Earth Point Topo Map > USGS Quadrangles
3. Load your KML track which will now topographically show on GE:
GoogleEarth: File > MyTrack.kml
