Gaia Premium for android Auxilio!
I have purchased Gaia premium to use with my Samsung android tablet. All the tutorials are for ios. In the ios tutes they show a huge selection of
maps. On my android I am only seeing 5. Is there a map package I need to download?
I tried both calling and emailing the help center but no one replies.
Thanks for any help.

Is it possible your Premium membership isn't activated/registered? I see it says the Standard membership has limited maps. Perhaps that's the issue?

Chippy, on the top right corner, you'll see three squares, it is the map overlay or "Layers" icon. Tap on that and you should see your options for
Routes, Waypoints, POI's, etc. On the bottom, it should say "Add Layers". There should be many map options in there.
To be honest, there are so many maps now in GAIA that it is almost confusing and cumbersome. I prefer the Gaia Topo and Gaia Satellite map in most
cases.
In that pre-Google Earth and social media epoch, The Code was adhered to. It was based on a simple verity: if a locale had been transformational for
you, and you had put the hard yards in to get there and to learn it, to know it, why in god�s name would you broadcast the news, thus ruining the
future experience not only for yourself, but for future adventurers?

They seem to work well in the States, I've used them while in Wyoming. I do have backup FS maps in paper and virtual.

If you need topographic lines, then check out the (unpublished) 2015 Baja California Almanac. It was made available (by an unknown source) to download
last year. The publisher, Landon Crumpton, died before it got to the printers.
This link is in the maps section at Vivabaja.com: https://baja-almanac.com/
