Easy to use

This is in my opinion the most accurate and easy to use GPS app I used so far. Nice to record the trails and make pictures for future exploring.

The New GAIA GPS app is a huge mistake

I have been using the old GAIA GPS app for almost 3 years now for all my navigation needs as a bush helicopter pilot, and it has been spreading like wildfire to other pilots and clients who spend time in the bush BUT for some reason the old app has been discontinued and the new one has a number of problems which make it impossible to use. Firstly, they decided to use grey writing, grey on white background, possibly the worst contrast ratio of any colour combination. Try reading that in a bumpy vibrating aircraft in bad weather (which is when you need it most).
Secondly they were so close to having the all round best GPS app ever made, all they needed was to listen to the forums and add a few features that people were requesting, and keep it going, instead they discontinued a winning app and make new inferior version?? Why? What happened...
That being said, the addition of back roads maps is brilliant, thank you. I will take full advantage of this map until they finally make the old app seize to function, and I will no longer be a customer

Indispensable App

I have found Gaia to be an incredibly useful app for our kayaking adventures in Ontario. Some areas are hugely complicated to navigate due to islands, inlets, points, etc and Gaia has always come through.
