GAIA GPS Now Charging To Save Maps

[Jim Oaks]

Looks like Gaia GPS is now requiring that you have a paid membership to be able to save the maps you create. It's $4.99 a month which seems crazy to me because onX Offroad is $2.92 a month and probably has more features.

Yeah. But when you travel with Jim and the Vagabonds, he really likes for everyone to use GAIA.

Jim's maps upload to OnX as well. I loaded it onto both before the trip. Only to find that OnX only works with my Android Auto on the infotainment system if you have the premium. So I ran Gaia for the trip. I haven't tried and save a map lately. I know there are several new apps out that work very similar to them.

Yeah. I was just teasing. I haven’t looked at OnX all year. I’ve really been trying to use and get familiar with GAIA. I was still learning new stuff in GAIA on the fall colors campout.

I can't remember if I even tried loading Jim's maps on OnX. OnX does seem to be easier to download offline maps but it may just be an illusion on my part.

I have Gaia on my phone for the Bronco and F-150 infotainment systems, I have heard from a friend that Jim's maps also upload on a Garmin Overlander GPS as well...

I think the GPX(?) file format is a standard and should work for most or all the major apps and devices. I think the additional files for waypoints and things are usually pretty standard also.

Yup.

Kansas Rocks is a thorn in my side, they use Cartotracks or something like that for the digital map. Yet another app and subscription, I can't find a GPX anywhere for the place.
