The best GPS app for hiking is Gaia GPS. With slightly better maps and navigation than AllTrails, this is the best app for navigating. To use the map and features offline, you’ll need to pay for a Gaia GPS subscription of $39.99 per year.
Best Hiking Apps of 2022 – Tested and Reviewed
The AllTrails hiking app has a good interface and comes with road, satellite and topographic map like the Gaia GPS app mentioned above.

  • The great Polish Sea -or- We forgot Poland (2006)
    After the second stage of Russian aggression on Ukraine in 2022 the Yandex maps have removed country borders entirely. It makes for a very interesting map: https://yandex.com/maps I believe it was in response to the annexation of territories/oblasts that Russia didn't even control (lol). - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

    Yandex maps still doesn't have any national borders. This annexation thing doesnt seem to be going very well, nobody in Russia knows where Russia is. Source: over 1 year ago
  • [Megathread] Russian Invasion of Ukraine, D+224
    Hahaha, check out yandex maps right now. It's Russia's version of Google maps. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Map Data: False Assumptions Programmers Make
    I'm not sure if your question is rhetoric, but somewhere I've read that some map providers show it depending on what country the user (website visitor) is in - so users in country A see the disputed territory as belonging to country A, users in country B see it as belonging to their country, and everyone else sees this territory as "disputed between A and B". Governments of both A and B might have opposite demands... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
  • Is 110000 rubles a month enough to comfortably live in Moscow?

  • Update: Important improvement on the way!
    In no small part thanks to you and other users experiencing this issue, I was able to reproduce this consistently. And in doing so, I discovered that the web UI on gaiagps.com and the database where that info is saved, had different definitions of what should be possible.  Let's say I own a folder (i'm the Owner), and I share it with you (you're the Sharee). In the database, only I, the Owner, am allowed to add... Source: over 1 year ago
  • Help!!!
    You could go to caltopo.com or gaiagps.com and build your own map using either of these. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Routes partially or completely disappear
    I spent a TON of time accurately making some long routes (on gaiagps.com) and now I see most are gone completely and others have large segments missing ! Anyone else have this happen ? (OSX and IOS). I opened a ticket but no response yet. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Windows (web) version is useless
    Hey u/SolidGoldUnderwear, sorry for the trouble. Please try clearing the cache on your browser. The easiest way to do this is to hold down the shift key and refresh the gaiagps.com browser window. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Windows (web) version is useless
    Hey u/Puss_Lips, sorry about that. It may be a caching issue. The edited route should show if you clear your browser cache. The easiest way to do this is to hold down the Shift key and click the refresh button on the gaiagps.com browser window. If that doesn't work, would you mind contacting Support so we can gather more info? You can do that here: https://help.gaiagps.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. Source: about 2 years ago
