Hi folks,

We just pushed a small update to Android which fixes two issues - one with downloading maps and one with the compass and map arrow improperly displaying on some devices.

You should get an alert from Google Play.

We also have a much bigger release coming out this week or next! You'l be able to take photos from Gaia GPS on Android, and sync them to GaiaCloud of course. Other improvements too.

Regards,
Andrew

Hi Andrew:

The good news. I have a Garmin Monterra, loaded Gaia beta on it, and it is working!

Why would you want to use Gaia on a perfectly good GPS? Simple, it gives you easy and almost immediate access to topo maps and aerials, long you have WiFi access. So not way in the boonies, but close enough, much faster that hooking to a laptop and getting the maps from Basecamp, the gpsfiledepot, etc... All that in a device that is built for the outdoors, unlike a cell phone.

Yes, it comes with a price, as you don't get the aerial superimposed on the topo and a nice display, but now have a perfectly working navigation tool.

Why did I use the beta version? Simply, on my Monterra, in the Play Store, this appeared as purchased, thus I could install for free, but the paid version, which I have on my tablet, was at $9.99. Now, on my cell phone, I seem to have a paid version that originated from Amazon, looks me like old version. So really the question is how to get the newest versions both my cell phone and the Monterra?
