Gaia GPS with USFS Motor Vehicle Use Maps

by Ashli Baldwin June 14, 2017
written by Ashli Baldwin

Interactive United States Forest Service’s popular Motor Vehicle Use Maps — now available in Gaia GPS version 1.1 for iOS.

Also in this update, two finger map rotation and course-up mode lock.

Read about the next generation Gaia GPS here and download it today.

Interactive Road Access Information

Available as an interactive Premium Member overlay within the iOS app, the MVUM overlay makes planning adventures and navigating in US National Forests simple.’

Tap roads on the map for USFS road usage restrictions and access dates.

Layer with Gaia Topo, one of the USFS map sources, or any other base map to get a comprehensive view.

Two Finger Map Rotation

Rotate the main map in any direction with a simple two finger motion. You can turn two finger rotate on or off from the settings menu.

Continuous Improvement

Other notable updates in Gaia GPS v1.1 for all iOS users include:

  • Course-up mode lock — Zooming in or out will not break the map lock on your current location
  • Improved Performance — Improvements to the Saved menu for accessing multiple years of data
  • Guidance — Offline guidance along trails found in Gaia Topo

Listening to You

Your feedback helps guide the development of Gaia GPS. This update includes highly requested features from users across the Gaia GPS Reddit page, Community forums, and from your emails.
