Ratings and Reviews
Best mapping app I’ve found
I do lots of dirtbike riding in local forests, hills, and mountains, and even sometimes some four wheel driving, and I’ve found this app better than I expected from any mapping app for all of this. Especially using the map overlay feature where you can semi transparently overlay one map over another, and see more clarity of tracks, and different contour detail across two maps. Please never stop making this app! It’s one that I don’t want to ever disappear! I love it just how it is 👌👌
Recent updates have ruined it.
Alright I’ve been using GaiaGPS for years and it has always worked well, until recently. The more recent updates have drastically interfered with the way the app processes offline maps. I had 11GB of offline Australian maps downloaded that needed to be re-downloaded because they weren’t displaying correctly. Even after re-downloading the
maps, they display slowly and don’t show much information until you zoom in completely. I don’t know what has changed over the last few months with GaiaGPS, but if it isn’t fixed I won’t be renewing my membership.
Problems downloading maps continue
Downloading Gaia gps maps is a big problem. Even if appears to work they turn up against next time as not downloaded. This has been a problem for a while but getting much worse. This was my favourite mapping app: together we’ve walked thousands of km but, now, i despair every time I want a new section downloaded to use offline. If it says it’s downloaded will it be? How many times will I have to repeat the apparent download to get a real download. Yes, I’ve read the faqs and tried to find a way to contact developers. I was a very happy user a few years ago. Not now.
And searches: may be useful for North America. But try finding even a well known place in the UK. Good luck. You’ll need it. Disappointing.
