man, i loaded this up on my galaxy s6 phone before my colo elk trip and couldn't be happier. SUPER intuitive and easy to use. i tried three different garmin gps units (10, 20 & 64st) and these didn't come close to gaia's ease of use, plus bigger screen on the phone.

entered waypoints at my truck in the various places i hunted, started trips, super easy to see the trails i took and direction needed to get back to my truck if i did a loop or did some bushwacking.

am i missing something, or is this the way to go? didn't try onyx just because reading about some crashes.

on a related note, is there a free gps phone app (non-hunting, no private land etc needed) to throw on my wife's phone that is similarly super easy to use?

I have used both GAIA and OnX. I originally preferred GAIA but now with the upgrades prefer OnX. I do understand GAIA will soon be updated also.

Doesn’t Gaia offer a free version? Thought they did, you only pay for premium layers but been awhile so I may be wrong.
