GAIA nav app now works with Apple Carplay

[John E Davies]

This is a huge upgrade. Now any offroad or saved maps can be displayed on your tow vehicle’s main screen.

I currently carry my iPad on a Ram mount near the center console. To say that it is awkward would be an big understatement. My next TV will have Apple Carplay and I can carry the iPad tucked next to my hip.

That's pretty cool.  I've been waiting for this update myself.

I’ve got CarPlay on my new truck and I really like it.  I’m going to check out GAIA.  Thanks.

GAIA is by far my favorite app for offroad or off grid navigation (not autorouting) but only in the Premium version, which allows “layers” and offers a ton of different map types that you will come to rely on like USFS maps and the essential MVUM layer.

I prefer Pocket Earth Pro by far as a  general “road map” reference on a tablet. It has luscious, full featured Open Streetmap and 24K Topo, but it will not work with Carplay.

I suggest that you try both.
