    Glad I found this app since it works off line and independently from the phone. I’m not using data on my phone plan while I hike trails far from any WiFi signals.
  • Great app! Missing two critical features.

    Gaia GPS is a great app and I love being able to organize waypoints and maps into folders. I also love the Gaia Topo map as it shows details that local hikers have put into OSM, such as tent sites, leantos, outhouses, stream crossings, etc. I have paid subscriptions to both GaiaGPS and VwRngr. GaiaGPS is missing two critical features that VwRngr has and I use almost daily: 1. No way to quickly measure distance and elevation from current location to a given location. This is very important for choosing rest stops and water breaks. Efficiently choosing breaks has a *huge* impact on the day’s progress. If I pan the map around, VwRngr immediately gives me crow-flies distance and elevation delta to the point under the crosshairs on the center of the maps. This is sufficient for me to quickly estimate route distance and time to get to that point. GaiaGPS does not have an easy way to do this without a lot of squinting and mental math. When it’s 20 degrees out and falling snowflakes are messing with the phone touchscreen, this is downright painful and tortuous. 2. No way to easily update downloaded maps. VwRngr has a feature to “update map data” for downloaded maps. Trails are being rerouted all the time, leantos get moves, details get added to OSM, new trails are built. Right now I need to delete downloaded maps and download them again. I active hike and recreate in numerous areas and this is very tedious. VwRngr for the win. Cheers, T.

    We went all over the sierras and Baja this year and this is by far the best app for gps. The ability to download the google earth map layer is pretty incredible!!
  • CarPlay is terrible with Gaia

    Having to manually pan by pressing an arrow on the screen is dangerous and unbelievably slow. My saved waypoints on my phone and the website don’t show up at all when CarPlay is active. If Google maps had topo maps and downloadable guess what I’d use. It’s scrolling is 1000% better in CarPlay mode than Gaia’s. What a joke. This app is barely an app at all.
  • Perfect

    I've been looking for a good hunting GPS app. Tried OnX, Hunt Stand, etc. Some of them were decent but all missing pieces - this one is perfect. First things first, yes it is subscription based - probably largely due to the fact it accesses property records, which aren't free. Forty bucks a year is well worth it. The overlays, way points, and other features are pretty standard for these apps - I like the ability to add photos. I can track deer sign, record stand locations on public land, track ANYTHING, the possibilities are endless. The compass bearing is surprisingly accurate as well. Would LOVE to get overlays of the public hunting land maps - like which parts are waterfowl only, archery, etc.. As well as adding national forests and wildlife refuge system land.
  • I can’t lookup ANYTHING

    I paid $40 for this app and I literally cannot put in and search for coordinates or even an address. A recent search menu pops up and it won’t even bring up what is on the recent search. I’m super dissatisfied with this app.
  • Very easy to use

    Love this app. Excellent to get you to lat , longitude coordinates to five decimal places. Starting from the road and all the way into the deep woods.

    So I was looking for a tracking app and gps also when I found this. I read a good review from a website on it and figured I would give it a go. Well I choose the free option because it says it give four maps and a bunch of the features would still work. I go and signed up and then started to use it. Good map overlay for the one they start you off with but the other three “free” maps aren’t free at all, you click to switch over to it and you need to sign up and pay a premium price for them. That completely through me off of wanting to even use it since right off the bat I’m told I can get four free overlays at which to use for tracking my hikes and camping and driving and now come to find out that isn’t the facts after all.
