Maps. Users will then be able to transition to using the app on foot, continuing with the ability to navigate and identify landmarks.

By providing users with offroad and overland maps, Gaia GPS informs users on seasonal restrictions and closures on trails, public and private land designations, precipitation and wildfire forecasts and topographical maps from the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Forest Service. Overland vehicle drivers will be able to see these maps safely on their head-up device rather than having to reference a zoomed-in view of their phone or tablet while driving.
