Version 2023.7
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.
version 2023.6
posted on 2023-09-06
Sep 6, 2023
Version 2023.6
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.

Weather at a tap!
. We're partnering with OpenSnow, the leader in backcountry weather forecasting, to bring you up-to-date weather conditions and forecasts right in the Gaia GPS app.
. Tap anywhere on the map to see current weather conditions (alongside the usual information about nearby trails and points of interest). Then tap the weather info to view a detailed forecast for the next three days.
Bug fixes and small tweaks
. Fixed a bug that caused some waypoints not to show up in the saved items tab, or in folders that they'd been added to.
