    Despite getting a premium subscription I was not able to use any of the paid for features. I was given no solutions by customer service. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this app.

  • Broken on Carplay

    App works but not Carplay

  • Essential for every backpacking trip

    I'm not someone who usually writes reviews, but I felt compelled to say this app is absolutely amazing. I've used the free version for years on almost every backpacking trip, from Alaska to Canada to Utah to Michigan. The level of detail in the maps is incredible, and being able to use them and stay oriented WITH airplane mode is far superior to anything else I've tried. It's the first app I use to route all my trips

  • CarPlay issue

    No display on CarPlay . The map will not display on any 3 of my CarPlay vehicles…. I want to buy the premium version but will be useless without the display. Any ideas?

  • App is now ruined

    This used to be the absolute best mapping app. No one came close to its usefulness. Unfortunately, the changes made over the last few years have ruined it. Many of the premium maps that I frequently used have now disappeared or replaced with sub-par in house made maps. I have to receive 3-4 different maps to get the same information that I used to get with just one (Nat Geo). The price has also dramatically increased. Since I now have to get used to looking at a completely different set of maps, put up with their extremely slow map download and higher price, I am just going to switch to a different service (after being a Premium member for 8 years). This app used to be nearly irreplaceable, but not anymore (go try OnX or CalTopo).

  • Snap to trail function issue

    Overall, I like Gaia GPS alot. I’ve been using it regularly for a number of years planning and executing backpacking trips in many remote locations. For the most part, it does what I need it to do. However, one issue I’ve had repeatedly - and this is a BIG problem in my opinion - the “snap to trail” function simply does not work in the backcountry on my iPhone. PLEASE FIX IT !! (and yes, the app is up to date; I have a reasonably new phone (iPhone 17); and “snap to trail” is selected)

  • Terrible route builder

    By Podcast Listenero
    Just straight up refuses to snap to roads and trails while in the field, and without super close review of the few routes it successfully builds, you will end up stranded trying to connect two trails across impassable wilderness. Sucks worse than OnX. Only good part is gpx import export.

  • Long time user, very sad

    I've trusted Gaia GPS for years, and it's hard to write this. It used to be the one app I didn't think twice about. That trust is gone. Crashes, tracks that drift off the trail, and sync that loses data aren't small annoyances in a navigation app. They're the whole point of the app. When I'm out of cell range, I need the thing to just work. I shouldn’t have to do an “integrity check” every time I leave my porch to have the confidence my maps would be there when I need them. The release notes keep promising fixes, but for the past few years, every season it feels less reliable, not more. I'm not writing this out of anger. I'm writing because I loved this app, and it's too glitchy now for me to rely on in the backcountry. I really hope the team gets back to the fundamentals. Until then, I can't recommend it.

  • Great!

    Reliable! Mostly easy to use! Would like the off road mode to specify which roads are dirt and suv drivable.

  • Better Off Being Lost

    If you’re an adventure or dual sport rider, this is probably the least intuitive app you can use. It’s not user-friendly and it lacks basic functionality needed to use on the trail while riding. It’s no wonder they charge $59 up front for 12 month subscription because I’d have cancelled the plan after one day of riding.
