Great video! Well timed, as well! I am currently in the Hoosier National Forest camping with my wife. I had heard about how useful GaiaGPS can be when marking possible dispersed camping sites. Today I used it for that and for navigating a hike on an unfamiliar trail, Brilliant! BTW, not bad just on my iPhone for both. Great product! Thanks for the timely overview!

Lol! The only time I've not been able to use Gaia was when I forgot to download maps for an area, and we were supposed to be meeting a buddy in the middle of Kaibab National Forest at some co-ords he texted us. We managed to figure it out using my atlas, but I don't think I could teach map reading on video!

Do you have any good trails for off reading in the area?

@davidpeters8133 3 жыл бұрын

if you google search "Public Land (US) Gaia GPS" the first page (for me at least) was a link to that layer. In the upper right there was a button that said add to my account. Did that and it showed up for me.

Do any of the map layers have a method to identify public unpaved roads? IE: Garmin uses dashed lines for unpaved vs solid lines for paved. I ride a dual sport motorcycle and want to stay away from paved roads when getting to the trails.

The USGS, NatGeo, and USFS do. USGS is not user friendly, and the NatGeo and USFS are only available in select areas.

Yes, the Gaia topo map is global, so works everywhere. You won't have nearly as many options for other map layers in Europe though.

The cloud storage. Is that something you have to subscribe and pay for or does Gaia provide the cloud to store the map data.

@RevereOverland 4 жыл бұрын

All of your routes and waypoints are stored locally on your device (phone, tablet, etc.), but will be synced to your account. That way if you plan something on your computer, it'll show up on your phone. If you record something on your phone, it'll show up on your tablet. That's standard across all plans, whether paid or free. The paid versions allow you to download map layers to your phone/tablet for offline use, and the premium version gives you more map layers to use.

You can track your location any time on the free and paid versions of Gaia. The tracks are overlaid on the maps. If you want to be able to view the maps with no internet service, you'll need to download the maps to your phone/tablet, which requires one of the paid versions of Gaia.

0:55 I prefer to save the money for celluar Version and save it for a external Bluetooth GPS Tracker like a "Garmin GLO 2". This GPS is way more accurate than the tiny built in GPS Module in the celluar version. Any one pefers diffrent ;)

Definitely more accurate, which is great for something like geocaching, but for road navigation the iPad chip is plenty!

My biggest complains are the aerials and other raster layers. The main aerial is terrible quality. And there is limited rasters available for use. I thought there would be a bigger variety available. Additionally, you can not import rasters, that is a big dissapointment. And waypoints being limited to 1,000 is also a negative - I have big kmz files full of waypoints and I have to edit them down to a specific state/country/subgroup everytime I import.

Hi. Can you tell the gaiagps website to stop harassing me to sign up for an account? It keeps putting cookies in my browser which requires me to either delete the cookies or open a private browser to actually go to the URL I want to without being harassed. I HATE websites that harass you to sign up - BUG OFF. I just want GPX tracks for hiking with the Osmand+ stupid android app (that I also had to pirate because it's yet another egregious piece of software that thinks it should cost money)
