## What is Gobi X?

This application provides navigation support using GPS data and previously recorded tracking points. A GPS signal, but no internet connection is required to provide this functionality. Tracking points need to be imported from a valid GPX file. Since the GPX coordinates are not necessarily tied to the road system, it is possible to navigate anywhere on Earth with GPS satellite coverage.

The application was developed with bicyclists riding the back country in mind. While riding only minimal interaction with the app is expected. A simple, easy to read display enables navigation even in the absence of an online map. The application does not use offline maps.

### 1/5 — Crashes every time I load a gpx file.

The gpx file imports, but if you hit the map button, it crashes. I tried contacting the developer, but the link is dead.
