These Gaia tutorial videos have been sooooo helpful! Planning a dispersed camping trip to Utah and I was feeling pretty lost in Gaia. So thank you! You’re really good at this, and I love your videos in general.
Appreciate you! Happy trails!
Loads of excellent info. Thank you for putting it all together! 👍
Thanks Roger! Gaia should be paying you for this series. I’ve watches several other ‘tutorials’ and never really learned anything. You have a gift!
Glad you find it useful! Thanks!
Thanks so much for these videos! I've subscribed to Gaia for two years and never really knew how to use it. Now I know what I'm doing and I already used it on a trip I did two weeks ago and everything went great.
appreciate you! 👊
Wow, these videos have been so helpful!. Thanks a lot for taking the time to make these tutorials, I can't overstate how much I've learned.
Thanks for another great video!!
Thanks. All the things I needed to get a cycle route on my phone. well explained
Appreciate you!
Thank you I am learning a lot here. I am struggling but still learning.
It's not the destination, but the journey along the way!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks Roger.
How to use GAIA GPS or How to have an excuse to say Ubehebe (You Be He Be) a lot and enjoy yourself. 😜 Great tutorial. Even though I know most of this stuff it is fun to watch it and reinforce and learn more. Lately I've been spending so much time looking at maps. Usually GAIA to get coordinates and then putting them in Google Maps or Earth and using the 3D functions. Not much to do in Minnesota and hoping to spend a couple months on the road during summer. I think you will discuss this in the next episode but once you get good at organizing waypoints, tracks, etc. in folders, things are so much clearer and it makes it a lot cleaner and easier to use.
It's a fun word, like Titicaca 🤪
@@ggg4runner One of the times I when I was in Tokyo my friend (she lived in Tokyo ) got me a hotel in Azabu-Juban and I kept asking her to repeat the name... after a day or so I think she got tired of saying it. Hahaha 😜
Very nicely done tutorial Roger! I like how you build the map from the basic map to waypoints and the step by step steps (haha) you have to go thru to complete it. I've watched others, and it was like drinking from a fire hose. Too much and in some ways, too little information.
I used Gaia extensively in Death Valley. I marked all of the gas stations, bathrooms (for the wife) and a few of the places we wanted to see. Also recorded the routes/trails, vista points and camp sites we stayed at. Watching your video gave me more ideas, so I went back and re-did some of the icons and colors.
Thanks again bro! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks! Sometimes I think I'm doing too slow of a pace at times but then I remember how almost every time I watch any tutorial video about anything I always have to stop and re-watch parts over and over. Glad it was helpful!
@@ggg4runner At least for me, it takes a few seconds for some concepts to sink in before I can move on to the next. Since your tutorial is so thorough, I can pause your video and follow along on my laptop or ipad etc. Helps me to figure things out and apply it to my own scenario. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
@@jyo8914 Appreciate the feedback!
This is so helpful and better than others that I tried. However, know that some of the stuff that you are saying does NOT apply to folks who are NOT on Premium.
Guess I should've specified that. Thanks for watching!
Hello Roger, first of all thank you for doing this series. My question is if you create waypoints in my computer desktop GAIA, will you able to see also in my Cellphone Android GAIA app? thanks
Yes, as long as you're logged in with the same account on both and everything is syncing as it should
First off, great video content! The more I watch these video series, the more I am liking GAIA. I started with Rever as my route planning app but I think I am going to do the switch GAIA.
I do have a question. Rever has a functionality where you tell it that you want to go from point A to point B; you essentially mark these two points as Waypoints. Now in the process of doing so, you are given the option of either to avoid highways or not. So lets say I want to go from one city to another but I do not want to use the highway but instead I want to use the back roads, it has the ability to automatically suggest these back roads. Does GAIA have something similar or you as the user have to literally come up with the whole back road route?
GAIA is really more geared towards manually planning routes and off-the-grid use. If you select a destination point on the map and click "Driving Directions" GAIA basically says I dunno how to do that and it opens your default mapping app. There is the "Guide Me" feature when you select a route but it's pretty rudimentary when compared to other turn-by-turn navigation apps so I rarely use it. I only use GAIA for planning routes and navigating in remote areas where I know I won't have cell service.
Thanks for doing g these! I may have a dumb question….does GAIA ever make the route on pave roads as if it were google maps and didn’t know until you drove the route you created? Or is this where the layers come in? Sorry 😞. Hope this makes sense. Thanks.
You can create routes on paved routes yourself but GAIA is not meant to be like a Google Maps where you type in a destination and it gives you directions.
I must have missed something. I am trying to create a route for a rafting trip. I could not make it follow the river even though I had chosen the white water icon.
As far as I know, GAIA doesn't have the snap-to feature for waterways. I think CalTopo will do that.
Once you save a route on the app, do you have to do anything else to view the saved route when offline?
Technically, no, you don't need to do anything else to see the route when offline. But, you're going to want to save offline maps with the layer(s) you want to see or else you will have your routes on a literal blank "map" with zero information (that is, no labels, no roads, literally nothing but outlines of land vs water). Think of GAIA saved offline maps as an old school paper map and your created GAIA routes as what you'd draw on that paper map with a marker. If you don't have offline maps saved you basically have drawn marker lines on a blank sheet of paper.
I’m trying to figure out how to edit routes. I have saved routes that go pass the location I need to go but can’t edit it to change it to the new location.
On the web version, select the route you want to edit and you'll see the side bar menu thingy that has the route name at the top. Next to the route name is a "pencil icon." Once you click the "pencil icon" you'll see that your route shows the "dots" which you can drag/delete or however you want to edit it.
@@ggg4runner I haven’t turn on a computer in years, I’ll try it on my iPad. Thank you for your tutorial videos. Gaia works great finding routes to oil wells in the Permian desert so your videos makes it much easier to use.
@@Will-wz5wq same idea for the mobile app. Touch the route you want to edit then select it from the list below. Hit the "Edit button," then "Edit Route."
How can I only show waypoints for a certain track? I add layer and it shows tons
Are you talking about public tracks?
@@ggg4runner no tracks Ioaded from a sxs group. They have like a ton of way points
@@abysss56 You have to either create folders to organize that data and hide/show the folders or hide/show each waypoint/route/track. Watch this one ruclips.net/video/Kn70mrU6cp8/видео.html
