Description
WARNING: As of November 21, 2011, USGS topo maps are no longer working in Gaia GPS - you will be limited to the OpenCycleMap topo maps. Trimble/MyTopo took down the server with no warning, in order to cripple our app and attempt to win with their line of GPS apps. We are now working to stand up a new topo server - we should have a reasonably good alternate source available later this week.
Gaia GPS is the ultimate app for backcountry, off-grid, and off-trail adventures.
Painstakingly crafted over the last two years by a pair of backpackers, Gaia offers the full functionality of a handheld, backcountry GPS unit. Once you use Gaia, your other hardware will collect dust.
