Amazon Free App of the Day: Gaia GPS

Gaia GPS ScreenHeading out on an outdoor adventure? Blazing trails, hiking a treacherous mountain slope or possibly navigating your way through the Black Gates of Mordor into the very heart of Mount Doom? If this is the case with you, Gaia GPS has you covered. This all-encompassing navigation application allows you to download maps, title and notate maps, flag locations as waypoints, record your tracks to duplicate later or find your way back to civilized life and so much more. The full-featured GPS app normally sets you back a healthy $9.99 which in the world of Android apps is a pretty high price tag but today, Amazon is offering the app for free.Before you go off-roading, search for and download a detailed map of that area. Choose as large of an area as you like, and pick from different map sources. A road map is perfect for urban adventures and Cloudmade Topo has several pretty awesome options for topographical maps. A combination of both will have you covered on long road trips. Use Gaia GPS to navigate anywhere you aren’t connected!
Notate your saved maps for reference; maps are available for many locations worldwide. Tell the app to record your tracks so you can find your way back, Hansel and Gretel style. Mark waypoints and save locations for later.
