Adventure easier than ever with our refreshed design. We’ve put your favorite features within reach so you can spend less time tapping and more time exploring. Now even lefties can use the app with one hand, no problem. Plus find what you’re looking for thanks to easily recognizable icons, and configure the Add Menu to always stay open so you can add waypoints and photos in a snap.

Smaller Waypoint Icons
• Too many saved waypoints cluttering up your map? There's a new option you can enable to display waypoints as small colored dots, making it easier to read the map underneath. They still enlarge to become the usual pin icons when you zoom in enough.
• Try it out by enabling "Smaller Waypoint Icons" in Settings > Map Controls.
More Accessible Map Labels
• Text labels in Gaia Topo (and all of our other vector map layers) now respect the system text size setting. You can change your phone's text size in the iOS Settings app, under Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Larger Text. Choosing a larger value will increase the User Interface text size in most apps, and now it will make map labels in Gaia GPS easier to read too. You can also change the text size for individual apps by enabling the Text Size control in the settings for the iOS Control Center.

If you love Gaia GPS, help spread the word by leaving a review. Your review will also get bumped up, when you rate a new update.
►► v1.6.2
* Fixed regression in 1.6.1 - crash if you tap on a Trail on Gaia Topo, then tap the top right menu, then tap Download Maps for Area, then Save.
* Using aggregate crash logs, we also took time to investigate the top-occurring crashes among users. These can be hard to reproduce, but happen in certain circumstances:
- of the people who've seen a crash in the last 90 days that we logged, we seemed to address 35% with these changes
- this involved fixing the top 2 crashes, and a handful of others
- fixed family of issues where the notifications at the top of the Saved table could get out of sync for some new users, then crash if buttons were clicked
- fixed crash you might see rearranging the Trip table
- fixed crash you might see exporting a KML file when not all photos had synced yet
- fixed crash you might see when downgrading the app while not on the map screen, or in other ways even when the grid was attempting to be redrawn on the map when not viewing the map
- for Japanese users, fixed viewing GPS status that could crash in some cases

1.6
2018-02-27
If you love Gaia GPS, help spread the word by leaving a review. Your review will also get bumped up, when you rate a new update.
►► v1.6
Subtly awesome new features for offline use.
► Offline Features
These new offline features work in places where you have Gaia Topo downloaded.
- offline elevation data - Gaia GPS will now 1) show elevation profiles when making a route, and 2) save elevation for waypoints you mark, even while offline. Previously, Gaia GPS needed to be online to show profiles during route creation, and would only mark elevation for waypoints if created where you were standing or if you were online.
- offline naming - Gaia GPS will now suggest names for new waypoints/tracks/routes/etc, even when offline. This auto-naming only used to work while online, but now it works offline using data in the Gaia Topo map.
► Better Map Layering
This next improvement makes "vector" map layers work better.
- when you show Public Land or other similar map overlays, labels/symbols from lower vector layers will be displayed on top of the stack (FYI, this will make the map look better if you layer Public Land on Gaia Topo, but won't make a difference if you layer Public Land on top of a non-vector layer like USGS Topo)
FYI, vector map layers in Gaia GPS include Gaia Topo, MapBox Outdoors, Public Land, MVUM, US Wildfires, and all of the "Overlay" layers for hunting.
► Improved Photo Display
- when you tap a photo thumbnail in the Saved table, it launches a slideshow at the index of that thumbnail's photo (instead of showing a single photo view)
- photo thumbnails now all show for tracks (previously, if two photos were at the same location, only one would show)
- when viewing Track/Waypoint details, photos now display only in the slideshow (there is no row of thumbnails)
And because that row of thumbnails no longer exists, the delete/add photo controls that used to live there got moved:
- the Add photo button now displays at the top of Details (top right, below edit button, on top of the map or photos)
- you now delete individual photos from the slideshow
► And a few other tweaks:
- when saving a track on iPhone X, save the correct model number for display on gaiagps.com
- during Route creation, improve initial layout (smaller bar, 0 Distance and Ascent labels)
- during Area creation, make the bottom bar smaller to show more map
- KML imports now import descriptions
- fixed issue on 11.2 where iPad waypoint photo slideshow wasn't full height
- fixed iOS10 issue where routing mode button on Route creation screen was hidden
- don't geocode name photos attached to waypoints, so they don't show weirdly different from the waypoint
- the popup you see after an update now shows the bottom row without scrolling, which shows tips on how to use the app
- app now triggers a sync when you make a new Folder
- if you have a 5-year Membership, don't call it a Free Subscription in Settings, and don't show the Purchase Subscription option
- fix padding on visibility button in Track details, in the case where the Track is in a Shared Folder and you don't have Write permission to the Folder
- fix issue where if you open the Download view for NatGeo maps, then tap Search, then Cancel, then Cancel again, the bottom tab bar would be hidden
- fix issue where if you search, then download a map, a blue dot could get stuck on the map
- when you do log out, the app no longer shows a blocking login screen, and it also resets state for logging out better
- fixed rare crashes reported by crash logger
- removed images we don't use anymore, to make the app slightly smaller in megabytes
1.5.2
2018-01-26
If you love Gaia GPS, help spread the word by leaving a review. Your review will also get bumped up, when you rate a new update.
►► v1.5.2
Tweaks and bug fixes in this update, along with an under the hood change to deal with a 3rd party shutting down their company.
* we're now using our own server to do the trail-routing, because the 3rd party provider shut down - it's the same software, so you shouldn't see any changes
* we also switched the address part of the search bar autocomplete, along with auto-naming of waypoints/tracks, to a new server - but again, it's the same software and you shouldn't see a difference
* improved display on iPhone X further (track cropper toolbar, unlock slider on lock screen, bottom bar positions on map downloader and route planner)
* fixed an issue where if you set a custom icon for a waypoint when you created it, it wouldn't immediately sync to gaiagps.com
* don't cancel the route entirely, if you cancel out of the map download view after saving a route (go back to the routing view)
* fix currency display in non-USA countries
* fix photo row not refreshing when adding consecutive waypoints to a waypoint
* when downloading NatGeo maps, fix layout of search bar on map download screen
* fix restoring maps from an iTunes backup
* don't show "0 days left" message in settings under "Free Subscription"
* store email in keychain to fix issue that caused some people who bought a Membership not to be able to use it without logging in

* fixed some rare crashes
1.5.1

If you love Gaia GPS, help spread the word by leaving a review. Your review will also show fresh, when you rate a new update.
►► v1.5.1
After our big public tracks release in 1.5, we went back to polishing the floors, retro-fitting the foundation against earthquakes, and shining all surfaces.
* iPhone X - a bit more work here to make download/waypoint/route-maker views look better
* allow zooming in more on photos in the new slideshow view from 1.5
* make the app start up lickety split, even if you have a ton of data in Saved
* fixed an issue in non-English languages where labels for stats got funky
* make sure a Folder syncs when you go to its sharing page, so you don't have to wait for other stuff to sync before sharing
* indent section headers on table views, which lost too much padding in 1.5
* slight improvement to layout of the waypoint marking view, as a side effect of iPhone X work
* fixed issue where the checkmark wouldn't move if you marked a folder public
* fixed possible issue syncing photos in low internet situation
* include a link when sharing a Folder to Slack
* fixed issue with naming waypoints while making a route
* prevent converting a track to an area, if it only has 1 or 2 points, because this breaks things and doesn't make sense either
* fixed iPad crash when sharing tracks
* fixed a handful of rare crashes
