Gaia GPS is an offline-capable backcountry navigation app, now bundled into the Outside+ membership after its acquisition by Outside Inc. The map layer library is the brand's calling card: Gaia Topo, USGS quads, MVUM, NatGeo Trails Illustrated, satellite, weather, and dozens of regional overlays. Premium-grade access (full layer library, offline downloads, 3D maps, route planning) is included with Outside+; the base app is free with a smaller layer set. Available on iOS, Android, and the web.
