Gaia GPS

Since 2008, Gaia GPS has revolutionized how people adventure outdoors. Now with millions of users, we remain committed to the Gaia GPS community and our mission of putting the best backcountry navigation tools in your hands so you can adventure confidently and safely.

Maps like slope angle shading, topos, and satellite imagery can help you plan safer backcountry tours—if you know how to use them. Learn a few ways you can use maps as one more tool to mitigate risk and help you avoid avalanches this winter.

If you’re looking to give back this holiday season, give the gift of the great outdoors. Help us raise $2,500 for each of our nonprofit partners working to protect the planet and grow outdoor participation among youth and underrepresented communities.

Spy fall foliage from the comfort of your couch and time your leaf peeping just right with the help of a few trusted tools, including two of our special map layers. FreshSat — Recent and FreshSat — Cloud Free give you near-in-time satellite imagery from all over the world, showing you where leaves are blazing the most brightly near you.

The Gaia GPS team reflects on the parallels in persevering through adventures in the backcountry and in the office.
