Gaia GPS is the leading backcountry navigation app for hikers, overlanders, hunters, and backcountry skiers, offering more than 50 base maps including topo, satellite, MVUM, and avalanche overlays. Launched in 2009 and now part of Outside Inc., Gaia GPS is widely considered the most popular mapping platform among the overlanding community. The free tier covers basic mapping; Premium ($39.99/year) unlocks the full map catalog and offline downloads, while Premium with Outside+ ($89.99/year) bundles Trailforks and Outside media.
NotionToMaps serves your Notion database as live GPX, KML, or GeoJSON URLs, all of which Gaia GPS imports natively via web or mobile, with support for up to 1,000 waypoints per upload. Build your trip in Notion, pull the latest URL into Gaia before leaving signal, and navigate offline anywhere.
