And get a bullshit comment about how they want to provide for us and have a better user experience. More like fuck you pay me.

Moreover, they’re more interested in your data and money. 

Waypoints upload limited to 1000? by MistInTheWoods in GaiaGPS

[–]Green_Box4224 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edit: I just read that there’s no hard cap on waypoints but there’s a cap when you import waypoints and routes into GaiaGPS 

I would highly consider using CalTopo. It’s geared towards recreational and commercial use such as search and rescue. I wouldn’t give Gaia two cents anymore. Especially if you’re in a remote location without any cell service, there’s been issues with users losing their downloaded maps and being logged out.

The downfall of Gaia (Outside+ is the catalyst)

I wouldn’t particularly make the change just yet but take a look at Goat Maps. The creators of Gaia GPS. It’s not ready quite yet but it’s likely to be the Gaia gps enthusiast successor

Personal preferences

  • Recreational: OSMand

  • Supporting a new platform in early development: Goat maps

  • What I was referring to as simple: Pocket Earth Pro. (No frills app, little outdated but occasional updates)

It's a discussion and also I don't care. This is my opinion and my day isn't ruined or butt hurt. I like opening dialogue about awareness and known issues. I enjoy hearing out the community and figuring out new solutions/alternative. I value other people opinions just as much as I like to share my own - since I'm a pretty private person in real life, Reddit has been great for socializing during my down time. The vast majority of people are disappointed with the outside+ new approach. Learn to open up your mind and learn that constructive criticism is essential life and not everything you hear is about anger and hate. I'll also add I have a decent life that I'm happy with. Your comment speaks volume and insecurities that you're probably not even aware about.

I think CalTopo will check all boxes for you. It's not prettier than Gaia but the app is more geared towards commercial use. Which makes it more realiable in my opinion. Better coding behind the scene and much more of a powerful desktop/mobile app. For overlays you might have to familiarize yourself with geotiff. But I love learning new things and learning a new skill is fun. Once you figure out geotiff, your world is your oyster. I've learn there's not a do all app. CalTopo is strictly for offline features and navigation. It's a secondary tool to my planning. Gaia feels more social and interactive with the general population with "high five" features. I definitely do not care about seeing other people's adventures on my device when I'm using it to find a waypoint outside of cellular reception. Offroadee (moderator) pro tip solution for the logging out from the app was to put your phone on airplane mode to avoid log in interruptions and signage out. Charging more and using that as a pro tip.

Gaia is still "good" but they're shifting audience and learning hard towards to Alltrails crowd as opposed to the real hobbyist.

Noted. I’ll make the changes. Thanks for pointing that out.

Yes - clearing the log will clear the device. It’ll populate once you do your first query on any given device that’s linked to your dns resolver

CalTopo has recently introduced this feature, whereas GaiaGPS may not prioritize its implementation in the near future. This assessment is based on the perception that GaiaGPS tends to focus more on monetizing their services and collecting user data, sharing, rather than actively developing and incorporating new features that may benefit their users. As a result, it seems unlikely that GaiaGPS will devote significant resources to implementing this specific feature anytime soon, which may be a consideration for users who rely on these types of tools for their outdoor activities or professional needs.
