GPX files
I am short on time, so can't do the research I would like to. I have an iPhone, I can email the GPX files to myself after downloading. What App can I run to open the GPX file and get turn by turn instructions?

Hello,
search the App Store for "gpx viewer". Apps like "GPX-Viewer" or "BikeGPX" can load and display the GPX file from the email.

Hi,
On my side, I really like the combination of MyRouteApp website and MyRouteApp-Navi
the first one let you make your route (import and export as well) and the second one is a turn by turn navigation app that I use on my iPhone.

If I am not mistaken, which happens more than I like, if you open a .gpx file you are going to see lat/long points and not turn by turn directions. It is the mapping software in the device into which you import the file that translates the lat/long points into turn-by-turn directions. How do I know, (1) I asked a Garmin technician and (2) if you look at a .gpx file for a route of substantial distance, say several hundred miles with many, many turns, the file is quite small. Look here for an explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Exchange_Format.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

I know that the website on a computer can do everything. When you setup your account on the website, you can then plan your route either by doing it there or by importing GPX or other type of files.
You can also use your phone to make some route with the App.
When done, you use the navi app to navigate with all the route that you have on your account. You can leave them private or you can also make them available to public or friends that you can invite to have access to your file. If you by the subscription, you can also downloads maps and so not using your data plan. You will only need wifi to synchronise your route that are on the "cloud" with your phone once and then you can use everything without data usage.
But, on my comprehension, if you want to manipulate files (import/export) you need a computer.

The Garmin app is $40. Not sure if it will open a GPX file but easy to create a route itinerary and follow that.
