GaiaGPS Custom Maps

GaiaGPS is my my app of choice when hiking, kayaking, and exploring the outdoors in general. I will look at AllTrails for trail descriptions and reviews but on the trail I am always on Gaia.

Two built-in maps that I recommend are the 1900 and 1940 USGS Topo Maps! It’s very cool to look back in time wherever you are.

1. This useful list of free map servers from Tim Smith at TrailNotes.org. Check out his other cool mapping software while you’re there.

2. Bing Maps can be added with a free Bing Maps developer key using this free tool by Nathan Cahill
