I'm not familiar with the TOPO! sharing site, but there are a lot of popular trail/trackfile sharing sites now, and many/most of them provide GPX export capability.
I looked at that Explorer site and they have an extensive licensing agreement whereas the mapXchange site did not. The Explorer site is most likely unusable for that reason to anyone wishing to use trail data submitted by TOPO users there. I'm glad to see that the open GPX format is getting used!
