  • Great app, needs some updates

    I’m desperate to ditch Gaia after Outside’s concerted attempts to destroy it and turn it into hiking Strava or whatever brain-dead money making plan they have. Goat maps is so far excellent - with a few more layers (private land, geology) and some more features (I can’t live without CarPlay!) I can’t wait to switch over full-time!

  • Good Start with Limited Options

    Goat Maps shows potential, but its limited features are a drawback. Although I am still searching for a viable alternative to GaiaGPS, I am doubtful Goat Maps will soon offer the functionality required for a full transition. Importing data into Goat is seamless as of this week, but it lacks full compatibility with Gaia's features; for example, it doesn’t carry over all pin colors or icon matches. Goat has stated it will not support as many icons as Gaia, nor will it include emojis—a disappointment, as many Gaia users value its advanced waymarking capabilities, not just its trail routing. Additionally, Goat’s icons are too small to be legible from a distance. On the positive side, Goat is precise in tracking mileage, operates quickly, and remains uncluttered. I’ll keep an eye on Goat’s progress, but for now, Gaia remains the necessary choice.

  • Off to a great start!

    Been beta testing for a few weeks now and it has been performing very well. A few things to tighten up here and there but overall it’s great. Lately, other apps in the category have been quite disappointing, I’m glad to see this promising new option!

  • A great new GPS app!

    I’ve always enjoyed using Gaia GPS, but I’ve honestly been looking for an app that’s a little less complicated and easier to navigate. At the same time, I wanted to be able to do all the things that are important to me when using a GPS app… Downloading different varieties of maps, live stat tracking while navigating off-line, a solid base map, etc. I’m happy to say that Goat Maps does all of these things. I was very happy to be involved in the beta testing and was able to use it for a successful trip through the Box Creek - Death Hollow wilderness in Utah. Very promising app that I’m confident is going to be the next great GPS app for off-line wilderness navigation!

    All current features work perfectly. Design is well thought out and easy to learn. Download maps and hike without cell service. Well worth the cost and will be wonderful when web based access goes live. Controls are organized with desired options neatly organized. Good use of experience gained from previous development work!

  • Track your hikes, period

    I loved switching to Goat Maps because it’s focused on providing a great experience to plan and track your hikes. By keeping this focus, it does exactly what I need it to without being distracted by social features or unrelated functionality. I used this app to plan and track, and use AllTrails as a companion if I want to find community recommended trails.

  • Best GPS app there is

    By Kevin Lacker
    I hike a lot and I’ve tried pretty much every GPS app there is. I’ve been using Goat Maps during the beta and it’s the best. It’s fast to start up, it doesn’t spam you with pop ups. And it doesn’t break with a sketchy internet connection, like most other GPS apps do. Five stars.

  • Gaia Replacement

    Very excited that Goat Maps is live, just in time to let my 5-year Gaia GPS subscription expire. Goat Maps has all the features I need for route planning and trip tracking, without all the useless (to me) features, unstable operation, and steep price tag of Gaia. Looking forward to many trips with Goat Maps as the navigation app in my pocket.

  • Simple and powerful

    Love it

  • great app for backpacking

    I worked with Jesse and Anna building Gaia GPS years ago, and I’m stoked to see they have built a new navigation app without all the cruft and misadventures. I have done many hikes now with Goat Maps and it’s exactly what I need for a trip in the backcountry. I’m excited to see how it evolves even more, staying focused on hardcore trips outdoors. The features that make Goat Maps shine for me are the background map downloading so I don’t have to worry about keeping the app on after I choose maps, and the live route elevation graph.
