Share and Collaborate

Fill your folders with data and share directly with other Gaia GPS users, app-to-app. Set ‘view only’ or choose ‘edit’ allow read & write permissions to let your friends add tracks, waypoints, routes, maps, and other data.

Share folders with any size group, and get real-time updates with an internet connection. Enable shared folder notifications via Saved or Settings tab.

Use shared folders to plan for your next group backpacking trip, share important data with your organization, or get creative and let us know how you plan to share.

Interactive Map Options

Version 1.2 adds even more data to this, making more things on the map tappable, such as camps, parking, and other amenities.
