    This video should be updated to match the app. Dangerous if someone watches this before an unfamiliar hike.

    The home page has changed. Will you update the tutorials to match the new screens?

      If you’re not able to understand the slight difference between the old home screen and the new home screen and how they translate to each other then I suggest you stay home. There’s literally no difference other than where your eyes are looking. Sometimes you just have to be able to think for yourself just a little bit.

    What great info for us older folks 😀
    Help me if you can. Went on a hike using the App it worked great but on our return back to our point of origin was a different story. I had not zoomed in for a clearer more shall I say detailed pic only to find out we were going in circles for awhile. I knew our direction of travel so getting back wasn’t the issue but if we had expanded our map out to show better detail it would have been better, might be something to touch on with newbies
    I hope this makes sense, thanks

    Are there people who manage social media, customer education etc at Gaia? What is the point of having this video online today? I have gaia (got one year complimentary) looking for one good reason to renew after seeing it in its current state.

    Tutorial for the Gaia GPS people...
    Step 1. Update app
    Step 2. Make new tutorial videos and upload them to RUclips.
    Step 3. Delete old, obsolete tutorials from RUclips.
    Follow these simple steps to prevent confusing your customers to the point where they no longer use your products and move on to a competitor.
    Thanks for following these simple steos 😀

    Not what I see on my phone app - The Icons you point out do not exist on my phone app or are diff. For example I have no locate Icon. Are you maybe using apple and there is a difference with android? Maybe updated version? Maybe a setting you didn't review? Maybe different layers show diff. Also weird that my direction indicator appears to always be at least 90 degrees off.

    • @47ph
      @47ph 11 месяцев назад +1

      Hi. I had the same issue. It seems that the App has been update in 2023 and the icons are bottom right or left (depending on settings). There is a user manual under settings / Help / User Manual and Support for the updated version.

    My Gaia location marker quit following me over 8 months ago. I'm an android user. Is whoever bought Gaia going to resolve this or just focus on iphone? I've tried Gaia app on the S22 Ultra plus the Pixel 7 Pro. Everything works, but the only way to get the Location marker to move is refresh the screen!!! It does not follow any more.

  • @rainrunner75

    Well. the buttons you point to are not what I see. I would love to see distance along with elevation, speed, and compass. Or chose which three I see. Also, I have a ton of trails near me as in 2-3 miles but your discover is sending me 25-50 miles away.

  • @ttb0201

    How old is this video!? The description of the video says it's only a year old. Regardless, the video is not accurate, probably because the video hasn't been updated to match software updates. For example, in the first few minutes it became clear that what I see on the screen on my phone does not match what I see on the screen in the video. Very frustrating. I guess nobody at Gaia is paying attention to details or the video would get updated when the software is updated. That lack of attention to detail makes you wonder how good the data is that you're depending on to show you the way. You can do better, Gaia.

    The stats bar should be called the info bar
    The locate icon should be shaped like the chevron in the map. That these two icons don’t match is silly.
