Gaia GPS 101: How to Use the App and Orient Yourself on the Map

The stats bar should be called the info bar

The locate icon should be shaped like the chevron in the map. That these two icons don’t match is silly.

Not what I see on my phone app - The Icons you point out do not exist on my phone app or are diff. For example I have no locate Icon. Are you maybe using apple and there is a difference with android? Maybe updated version? Maybe a setting you didn't review? Maybe different layers show diff. Also weird that my direction indicator appears to always be at least 90 degrees off.

Search button question: only “some” hikes, parks and locations? That sounds like a potential limitation.

When I open the app on my android phone, the entire top area is different. The 4 icons are gone and now there is a red dot inside a red circle, 2 metrics that i can choose from like speed and distance. Under thaT IS A COMPASS READING. What has happened? is mine an updated version or can i get it back to the look that's on the videos? Help

I downloaded the app and it doesn't look the same as in this video.

Does this work if you don’t have reception? Sorry is that was a silly question.

Great overview, thanks!

Very helpful, thank you.

super-helpful intro, thanks!

What is Outside+ and Gaia gps

I don’t get the weather when I click on an area like your video says.

My Gaia location marker quit following me over 8 months ago. I'm an android user. Is whoever bought Gaia going to resolve this or just focus on iphone? I've tried Gaia app on the S22 Ultra plus the Pixel 7 Pro. Everything works, but the only way to get the Location marker to move is refresh the screen!!! It does not follow any more.

Very nice video. I consider myself well-versed with using this app, and I even learned a few new things. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Nice clear and concise video. Thanks!

What great info for us older folks 😀
Help me if you can. Went on a hike using the App it worked great but on our return back to our point of origin was a different story. I had not zoomed in for a clearer more shall I say detailed pic only to find out we were going in circles for awhile. I knew our direction of travel so getting back wasn’t the issue but if we had expanded our map out to show better detail it would have been better, might be something to touch on with newbies
I hope this makes sense, thanks
