Gaia GPS

The product doesn’t feel finished. Navigation is unworkable. Folders in web version are extremely slow. No roadmap or communication on whats being worked on.
Great potential, but a pain to work with. For $60,- a year, this is not ok. Changing to Garmin.

I have used this app for over a year now with premium subscription. Went traveling with it. Saved tracks, made routes organized everything. My conclusion in short. It’s too buggy. Menus keeps disappearing, need to restart. Lagging location on the map so you keep loosing track off road (yes always use location on). Syncing is a drama I use a Mac, iPad, two iPhones. Always trying to locate tracks/maps between devices. Kept using this app because of a lack of alternatives.

Im referring to the Norwegian topo maps, navigation through a course through a .gpx file (with statistics) or not possible or lacking how to information over the internet. Not going to use this one again.

Im using the outdoor map for some years. But after the last update all the hiking and biking tracks are gone. Ive been using it to discover new routes. At this moment ive a trail subscription and im wondering premium members see this too?

After your latest update I have to log in for exporting the trails I recorded. I don't like that and will deinstall your app and end the subscription in future. Stupid choice for a nice app I used to recommend to hikes.
Please make it possible to use the app without logging in. You don't need to know where I'm hiking

-I love the simplicity of use, good UI and functionalities of tracking.
-When you once download the area, you can use the maps offline.
-Most precise and overall the best topographical maps, I’ve ever seen.

You can't try the working of the app on your iwatch. For You must pay for this. For I buy someting IWant to seeof a

When planning routes that are a bit longer (e.g. 30 km), which exists out of multiple sections (e.g. 60), then it’s not possible to re-edit the route. Once you try so then the application is instable or crashes after a while! Frustrating.

When I want to go running in an unfamiliar place, I look up a route online, and download the gpx. Importing the gpx takes only seconds, and I have the new route ready to go. All on my mobile, no computer needed. I feel very secure knowing exactly where I am when out on a run. Great app, love it!

Voor iedereen die wil wandelen en van de gebaande paden wil afwijken. Zeer makkelijk en intuitief in gebruik

Good choice of maps for outdoor route planning. Interface also works smoothly. Nice!

Yes it’s a great app, and perhaps there’s no better one. But it failed me badly when I needed it most. We were off grid and I had downloaded the map for the area where we were hiking. I thought that would suffice. But when I had to plot a new route, it only plotted a straight line, which is no use when you’re hiking high up in the mountains- unless you’re a crow.

Nice app for creating routes. Works very simple. Export gpx to real GPS also possible fortunately, because the most important stats / data fields remaining distance, ETA (estimate time arrival) are missing. You can see your average speed and distance, so it shouldn't be a big issue for Gaia to add these fields.

This app is not working. I just wakker for 30 minutes and the track says that I walked a distance of 8 kms at a max speed of 113km/h! Useless, please give me my money back.

De perfecte app voor wandelen of fietsen in binnen en buitenland.
Prima registratie van de routes, zeer gedetailleerde kaarten.
Ik koop nooit meer een papieren kaart sinds ik Gaia gebruik.

Al jaren gebruik ik GAIA om te navigeren tijdens wandelingen en op de fiets. Ik vind het een prettige en betrouwbare app met een duidelijke kaartweergave en handige functies. Je kunt gemakkelijk gebieden downloaden voor offline gebruik. De gegevens die boven de kaart zichtbaar zijn zoals snelheid en hoogte zijn gemakkelijk aan te passen. Routes importeren is een fluitje van een cent. Je hebt de keuze uit verschillende kaarten al naar gelang het gebruik. Ik raad het van harte aan.

I've been a long term Motionx user but have become frustrated by the lack of updates for more recent phones.
Gaia does pretty much everything that Motionx did, but with a more intuitive interface. Also Gaia has some nice additional features such as a decent search function, pointer that follows the compass bearing and cloud sync.
The default map is not great so I have subscribed in order to access the openstreetmap option. I'm happy to support the app developers financially [EDIT: ignore the rest of this review as I was I was wrong about OSM being free to license - see dev response!] but feel the openstreetmaps should be available for free since they are from an open source third party. Therefore 4 stars rather than 5.
