GPX, FIT, and TCX proof

GPS files are useful evidence, but they are reviewed privately and never published by Verified Hikes.

Accepted files

GPX, FIT, and TCX exports from trusted activity apps or devices can support completion review when dates and route coverage are plausible.

Review checks

Reviewers check source strength, trail match, date plausibility, scanner state, and duplicate or reused activity risk. High-risk cases require second review.

Private by default

Raw coordinates, filenames, and storage URLs are not exposed in certificates, public APIs, analytics, screenshots, or reports.
