Thank you so much for doing this video and please do more. I have been asking Gaia to put out instructional videos and they have not yet. This was very informative especially re: cross referencing the other maps. Well done👍🏻
Thank you for sharing all of these Gaia Map tips. I appreciate all that you do! It’s awesome to hear the Cardinals in the background! I miss them. I live in No Colorado now but I used to live in So Illinois. 22:10 Thank you again for these videos! It really is teaching me a lot and I can’t wait to go out and explore Colorado & all of the cool states around me! I appreciate you & ur wife!! ❤❤
Wow! Your audio pickup is amazing. I was listening to this with Sony XM4s on and all the lawnmower and traffic sounds had me looking left and right for traffic!
Thank you for the video. We are coming to the ozark ntl forest & ouachita natl forest in may of 22 to overland for a week. This app looks amazing. Lets hope im not to dumb to learn it.
New to the off road community just gotmy frist jeep definitely want to start out on the right foot by usi g gaia gps to make sure im doing it right...and makin sure i dont go where im not supose to very big help thabk you for doing this vid
thanks for the video...well done! I am a Locus Map Pro user on an adventure bike that jumped to iphone and so far Gaia seems like the best replacement on ios. The devs of Gaia would be wise to implement some of its features as it is the gold standard in all of this but android only. For years we have complained that lmp still does not import a georeferenced pdf. I heard Gaia is working on that. That would solve your comparo between actual mvum paper map and mvum layer. Right now the work around in lmp is you can simply import a jpeg and hand pin the corners and then the system lines it up and it becomes a layer so you could compare within the app...Gaia needs this. Try that on your wife's android tablet. My personal #1 wish is the ability to adjust line width on the tracks. If you can control line width and the layer order of tracks is very powerful. When 2 tracks are overlayed in Gaia you can't see the one below...line width would allow this. I have ridden almost all of VT and need that feature to keep track.
I think those are great ideas. I had not heard that they were working on the geo tagged pdf option. That’s the only thing I use Avenza for. It would be awesome if Gaia would allow that.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures oooops...it looks like Gaia can do the same work around as LMP just a bit more complex help.gaiagps.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003523627-Import-Non-Georeferenced-Maps-into-Gaia-GPS
The best tutorial I've viewed. I have the same frustrations you mentioned about clutter on the PC version vs iOS version. I may someday, but for now I don't understand why there is a difference in the formats, It is very confusing. I have to "retrain" when I switch from one to the other. I'm struggling to make myself learn Gaia because Garmin is so much easier to route with.
Thanks Stan! Gaia has released several updates to the web interface since this video was created. They have a done a lot of work in making the experience very similar on both.
I have a GAIA subscription, mainly to share content with fellow club members. In my opinion, since Back Country Navigator supports APRS, it is the better product for back country touring.
awesome video!!! so as far as tracks and waypoints on the desktop, if you go into saved items (the folder button below the layers button) you can toggle individual stuff on or off
Great video! Love your wife peaking out from behind you. haha Though I still have a lot to learn, this was very helpful. I think I just need more hands on experience. Does your group go on simpler treks accessible by AWD's by chance?
Overlays on the web interface are selectable individually to display. It's the same "eye" icon as the iOS interface. Simply click on the folder icon and it will display all of the saved items which can be turned on or off - as well as other options - individually.
@@cw95403 The key thing the app lets you do that the browser doesn't is turn folders on and off. The browser just lets you do tracks, routes, and waypoints. And when you have as many as I do, that's not very helpful and takes forever. lol.
Great video, however I seem to be struggling with downloading maps when using the Shaded Relief layer. Gaia keeps telling me that it only supports a certain number of tiles when using that layer. Any suggestions?
You guys in America need a gps system like we have in australia which have parks and pretty much all off road and they can track your movement and use sattelite so you know we're you are at all times we have hema which the gps is exactly what's on the hema maps then we have polaris which is very similar and vms which all run via satellite
Going to be checking out the Ozarks this weekend. Will be pulling an OBI dweller caravan so wondering about any suggestions to setup camp or places I'll be able to pull it without super tight trails. Probably going to checkout St. Francis area I'm thinking. I know it's hot right now and dry but water crossings shouldn't be bad anywhere I'm guessing.
I use Gaia while hiking and have never had to download an area. I just save the route and it works in airplane mode without downloading. Why is downloading it useful? Am I missing something?
If you’re planning it on your phone it may be using cached maps when offline. Or you may have auto downloading turned on for the area your route covers.
I have found discrepancies in the MVUM and the IVM. According to the MVUM I drove a trail that was open. But after watching your video I reviewed my route on the IVM and it was labeled closed. Which one keeps me from getting a ticket if I get stopped? Thanks for the videos!
This might be a stupid question, but once the map is already downloaded, would it still be able to show where you are as a ping along the trail? Or do you just have to know where your going? Haven’t been able to try and use any of these yet. Thanks.
Thanks. It just depends on the tablet. Most android tablets have GPS built in. Only the cellular iPads have GPS. You’ll need a Bluetooth GPS receiver for WiFi only iPads for them to work.
OOA is exactly correct, the wifi iPads need a Garmin GLO 2 like this www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M9CZYTD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1&fpw=alm pain in the neck vs just buying a used cellular iPad, but I those GLO 2 are accurate enough to fly after, and they can track 21 sats at once, so much more accurate.
Using the MVUM layer, can you see where dispersed camping is allowed? I know that is on the PDF version direct from the Forest Service, but I'd love to have it in an app rather than scrolling back and forth on a giant PDF.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures thanks for the quick reply! I saw 8n the video on the interactive layer that it had a camping icon. Does that later show dispersed camping, or just campgrounds?
Purchased Gaia because of this video. I'm in Searcy and wanting to explore local WMAs. The AGFC website has a map with all the roads listed but can't seem to find those in Gaia? Any idea how I might get those into Gaia so I know where I am supposed to go?
Matt, I have only recently discovered your channel due to recently purchasing my first overlander (97 4runner). Thanks for your awesome content. I too live in Arkansas (Benton) and am excited about forging my own adventures. Can you recommend some routes in the Ozark National Forest for a beginner?
Welcome to the overlanding community!! Check out my videos on the Ozark Overland Adventure Trail. I designed that to help people like you get started with a fully planned route through the Ozarks. Days 1, 2, 3, and 5 would be great. Day 4 is super technical and might be best to avoid that one but you could do the southern half of it easily. The biggest thing to be mindful and prepared for is the water crossings.
Matt, We just finished the NMBDR. I downloaded NM and the BDR into GAIA on our iPAD. With it plugged and charging we could barely finish a 8 hour day before the iPAD battery died. What are we doing wrong?
can Gaia track me thur the woods on roads i have made on my property and save it on the map? i would want to use the topo maps layer. if so how do i set Gaia up to do this?
Thanks for the tutorial. I was just trying to follow along in Gaia using my brand new subscription. When you got to the part about the IVM (Interactive Vehicle Map), I couldn't find that layer in Gaia, even after searching in layers for both "IVM" and "Interactive Vehicle". Suggestions?
Can you explain a bit more about the card reading. As we are going to drive in Marocco in the Dunes, reading the map is very critical. Or should we use an other system?
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures how do you "read the maps" with the Heights and how do you find your way through. As I think it will be very hard to "read" maps with dunes instead of normal roads
Is there a way you can share your high watermark trail route? I’ve got some friends coming in from out of state in November and we are planning on doing this route, but it’s hard to find the actual route.
Aaron Thorne check my new video series on the Ozark Overland Adventure Trail. The route is in the description and I included most of my High Water Mark route in it if you combine days 1, 2, and 5 together.
Ozark Overland Adventures for the routes! Thanks! We will be driving two 100 series and one 200 series Land Cruisers! It’ll be fun taking these big ole pigs through some of these tight trails! 😬
Thanks for this. I live in the area and have been trying to find the best way to find/plan local Offroad routes. Question, is there a way to identify routes that may be more accessible for beginners or less outfitted vehicles? Are most of the routes through the Ozarks fairly accessible for most 4x4 trucks/vehicles? I have a full size truck and am a little anxious about width of these trails
Not in the national forest. None of the trails are rated in any way. You just have to get out and explore and turn around if you get uncomfortable. I have other videos about how to plan trips through the Ozarks. Check them out.
Ozark Overland Adventures sounds good, thanks! Went exploring in mark twain a little bit over the weekend, trails narrowed for a full size truck pretty quickly. Seems probably the norm for the Ozarks but will keep exploring.
Can I make a simple suggestion to all you youtube presenters. Please stay focused on your presentation, and know what you want to show. I am over 6 minutes into this video and I have not seen but one feature of GAIA. I know that your wife is working inside, you use Google maps on the street, you don’t do Android, you are in your garage, you live in Arkansas, you got a new hat from GAIA, etc, etc, and now. You wanted to show me a new street map, and you couldn’t find it. I now have a commercial from youtube to sit through to see if anything good comes after 6 minutes. If you want me to watch your videos, get to the point and share some content.
Do you know when the link for the GAIA files will work again? Currently does not work on my GAIA phone app or on desktop PC. Anyone else with the same problem? Says "you don't have permission."
Thanks for the awesome video on Gaia. I’ve been using OnX Offroad and it’s ok, but you can’t edit a track. When I’m doing a pre-run somewhere I often end up doing a u-turn or two, making a left instead of a right, etc. and there’s no way to remove those from the recorded track in OnX, you just have to create a whole new line without those mis-turns, save it and delete the recorded track. Can you edit a track in Gaia? If so, that would be enough to make me switch! Thanks!!
Fantastic video! How the heck do you transition back and forth between PC and ipad? How do you screen record on the iPad? Many thanks for getting me into Gaia! I have learned SO much and it's a whole new desert out there here in AZ .
That’s awesome!! I want to come to AZ so bad!! Glad I could help. The iPad and iPhones both have screen recording built in. It’s getting them to sync with the audio that’s the hard part sometimes. Lol.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures wait I know screen recording, but how did you add those red circles and arrows which were so helpful ? PS jm watching part 2 now ...I see the trails in a whole new light 💡
Thanks for this. Good stuff. One suggestion... Maybe turn down the music. Just about took me out and then your voice, by comparison, was really soft. My neighbors are moving out anyway, so, no big deal! LOL
I live in Springfield,MO and we love all of the Ozarks. The Mark Twain National Forrest and Ozark National Forrest is un beatable. Sure would love to have some of your tracks. Would you be willing to share some Gaia tracks???
Hey Scott. I really need to get up and wheel the Mark Twain National Forest. It's on our list for 2021! As far as routes go, we share all of our tracks and waypoints to our Patreon subscribers. Take a look at that - www.patreon.com/ozarkoverlandadventures - and consider becoming a supporter.
I watched your videos and created a route successfully!!! however, when I download as a GPX file and open on my lowrance GPS I get thousands of waypoints which compose my route i/o of just a nice clean line. Any thoughts on why this may be? Much appreciated!!! Thank you!!
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures I tried KML but it doesn't work with Lowrance. I believe it must be a setting I accidentally changed in GAIA as I've never had this happen before.
Hi. Can you tell the gaiagps website to stop harassing me to sign up for an account? It keeps putting cookies in my browser which requires me to either delete the cookies or open a private browser to actually go to the URL I want to without being harassed. I HATE websites that harass you to sign up - BUG OFF.
I've never heard of that before. Almost sounds like a screen time limit in the parental controls section of your iPad settings. My kids get those messages when they spend too much time in an app.
Beware signing up as you’ll be charged $20 per month and it’s virtually impossible to cancel your account. I don’t even recall how I signed up! No one live to speak to for assistance and no unsubscribe button! Beware!!
i might get this app, but unfortunately where i live the national forest road maps are completely inaccurate :( unfortunately, they still show national forest roads that were closed 13 years ago and will never be reopened
Thank you so much for doing this video and please do more. I have been asking Gaia to put out instructional videos and they have not yet. This was very informative especially re: cross referencing the other maps. Well done👍🏻
Thanks so much! I have another one planned.

Just bought Gaia premium, was playing on my iPad I have red colored route I did not create, how. How do I remove.
Check to see if public routes, or public tracks are enabled.
Thanks for this. Good stuff. One suggestion... Maybe turn down the music. Just about took me out and then your voice, by comparison, was really soft. My neighbors are moving out anyway, so, no big deal! LOL
Yeah I've been working on that in my latest videos trying to nail down the sound balancing. Thanks for that feedback.
Thanks used your code also
What is the code ? TIA
I live in Springfield,MO and we love all of the Ozarks. The Mark Twain National Forrest and Ozark National Forrest is un beatable. Sure would love to have some of your tracks. Would you be willing to share some Gaia tracks???
Hey Scott. I really need to get up and wheel the Mark Twain National Forest. It's on our list for 2021! As far as routes go, we share all of our tracks and waypoints to our Patreon subscribers. Take a look at that - www.patreon.com/ozarkoverlandadventures - and consider becoming a supporter.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Thanks may check it out.
I watched your videos and created a route successfully!!! however, when I download as a GPX file and open on my lowrance GPS I get thousands of waypoints which compose my route i/o of just a nice clean line. Any thoughts on why this may be? Much appreciated!!! Thank you!!
I have zero experience with using Lawrence gps devices. I’m not sure. Maybe try exporting as a KML instead?
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures I tried KML but it doesn't work with Lowrance. I believe it must be a setting I accidentally changed in GAIA as I've never had this happen before.
When you are driving does it hour on the map where you are?
If your device has GPS it does.
Would be awesome if you did a vid on importing google earth into Gaia
Hi. Can you tell the gaiagps website to stop harassing me to sign up for an account? It keeps putting cookies in my browser which requires me to either delete the cookies or open a private browser to actually go to the URL I want to without being harassed. I HATE websites that harass you to sign up - BUG OFF.
i have zero control over Gaia. That's how all websites work.
Thanks for the info. I have the free membership and have tried to change it but for some reason it want let me.
I was using Gaia last night on my iPad and I got this message, "Time Limit" You've reached your limit on Gaia GPS. What does this mean?
I've never heard of that before. Almost sounds like a screen time limit in the parental controls section of your iPad settings. My kids get those messages when they spend too much time in an app.
I've used it in the Arizona desert. I have android. I use it on my tablet.
Great video. Great instruction
Glad it was helpful!
I think i will stay with on x
Do what works best for you.
Android v iOS? Cons, pros, etc... ?
It seems to run better on iOS than Android from what I have experienced and heard from Android users.
The biggest problem with this is how manual it is and the fact you have no idea how difficult any of the roads are.
The Forest Service doesn't rate their trails. Exploring is part of the fun.
Beware signing up as you’ll be charged $20 per month and it’s virtually impossible to cancel your account. I don’t even recall how I signed up! No one live to speak to for assistance and no unsubscribe button!
Beware!!
This is absolutely not true. Not sure what you did but you did something wrong.
Your music woke up my dogs ..............Gees Louise . Is it really necessary ?!
Yes, I'm afraid it is (REF: Time Bandits, Robin Hood scene....classic!)
The whiter the background the faster it drains your devices battery.
Sine it's in the Jeep, I keep it plugged in anyway so my batter stays fully charged for video purposes.
Worthless. Looks NOTHING like the Android app.
This video is over two years old. I have an updated one from a few months ago.
Wow, a lot of babbling for what you can learn in 3 minutes of tinkering with the app.
i might get this app, but unfortunately where i live the national forest road maps are completely inaccurate :(
unfortunately, they still show national forest roads that were closed 13 years ago and will never be reopened
THANK YOU
