Gaia GPS for the iPhone

Gaia GPS is the ultimate app for backcountry, off-grid, and off-trail adventures.

Painstakingly crafted over the last two years by a pair of backpackers, Gaia offers the full functionality of a handheld, backcountry GPS unit. Once you use Gaia, your other hardware will collect dust.
