Discover brand new routes, get the beta on trail conditions, and easily spy trails based on type and difficulty level with this new trail overlay. Combining Trailfork’s premier collection of trails with Gaia GPS’s world-class maps and tools unlocks new levels of two-wheeled adventure. This map is just the beginning of great things to come joining forces with our sister company.
Creating your own adventures in Gaia GPS just got even easier — and more fun. Meet our new route editing tools, here to let you quickly fix any mistakes or changes of heart, automatically out-and-back any one-way route, send your route back to the start, and reverse your route direction.
We realize it’s still winter, but prime campsites for summer are going fast. Now you can snag the campsite of your dreams before it’s too late right from Gaia GPS. A new recreation.gov (http://recreation.gov/) integration on our Gaia Topo map puts the official resource for public campsites across the US at your fingertips. Make reservations, view photos, find out how many vehicles are permitted and if there’s a fire ring.
While you were eating up the trail in 2021, we were busy rolling out improvements.
