Troubleshooting

• If you have questions about how to operate Gaia GPS, bug reports, or feature requests, you can email the developers at gaia@gaiagps.com. Bug reports are best if you can tell us how to reproduce the problem, and we almost always fix reproducible bugs very quickly.

• If Gaia GPS won't get a GPS signal, one of two things will fix it:
  
• Shut down the app completely. From your iPhone home screen, double press the Home button. Then, press and hold the Gaia icon in the task bar. Once it starts wiggling, press it to stop it, as you would normally do to delete an app.
• If shutting down the app doesn't work, rebooting your phone will do the trick.

• If Gaia GPS stops working, you can delete it from your phone and re-download it from the App Store for free (a dialog will tell you the download is free when it starts). If this ever happens to you, we're very sorry for the problem. Please email us and tell us what happened.

• If your phone is in airplane mode, the GPS won't operate, and Gaia can't record tracks.

• The compass will not work if you are in a car or if you are near metal or magnetic things.
