But let me be super clear about this.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: if you enter decimal degrees coordinates into Gaia GPS and you enter "too many" decimal digits for its liking, it will mark a spot that is *not* the spot that you intended. #GaiaGPS

I like to go out and wander in the desert and mountains. I have an offline GPS app for my phone that I use to figure out how to get back when I don't know where I am. The app got bought out but I didn't know it. I was in the middle of nowhere and fired it up only to be greeted with "please create an account". Luckily, I was able to find my way home but I figured I'd better get real hardware. It wasn't cheap (even used) but it's better than dying. #gps #garmin #enshitification #GaiaGPS

New TestFlight build of Cartographer my #MacOS #GPS editor/viewer.

If you would prefer a native Mac app rather than web apps like #GaiaGPS or #Komoot give it a try.

Create maps/routes for #hiking, #biking, #camping etc. Import/Export your routes via #GPX with drag and drop ease.

Privacy focused. Your data remains your data. I'm not training AI with your hikes.

Releasing soon. Get your feedback in. Long roadmap ahead for new features but suggestions are welcome.

Using TestFlight is a great way to help developers test beta versions of their apps.

Gaia GPS requires ( I think ) setting up an account.

Perhaps MyTracks does not.

Afternoon hike along the Corte Playa Catalina and Rim trails in San Diego's Mission Trails Regional Park. Took a few photos and got some steps in.

Rain coming soon.

It's the same:

If you ever paid for a #GaiaGPS subscription they’re raising the price by 50% this year to $60 USD. Fuck that. #CalTopo, not owned by car centric Outside Magazine and with much of those same functionality, is still only $20 a year: https://caltopo.com/

Map the Backcountry with CalTopo

Map your world with CalTopo. Backcountry or your backyard; research, plan, share, and take maps with you on your mobile device. View real time data, choose layers that suit your needs, print maps, record tracks and more.

Mapping question about something I’m seeing in Gaia GPS in the “Outdoors” layer.

The map shows a purple line that follows some roads and trails. If I zoom in the line is shown as purple dots. These purple dots indicate a route?

I finally found a label for this purple line, but so far my internet searches find nothing about this “Cross Snohomish County Hike & Bike Route.”

Clearly this route exists in this map. Where did it come from and how can I learn more about it?

Do you use AllTrails, GAIA GPS or onXmaps?
Surprise! Bet you did not know you are *indemnifying* those companies.

Worst case translation: The company is sued and you must reimburse the company for the attorney fees they spend defending themselves. That is my understanding of the gist of “indemnification”.
