GAIA gps subscription price increase.

[JLH]

Received a notification today that my GAIA subscription is increasing from $39.95 to $59.90, that's a 67% jump. I'll definitely be researching alternatives. OnX and US topo maps are interesting and are lower priced alternatives.

its really frustrating to see such a large jump with no major features added. I really like Gaia but they are getting into the territory of professional GIS software at that price.

Wow, I've been happily using GAIA for several years now. I've heard good things about On X, but haven't tested it fully. I have grown accustomed to GAIA folder structure for organizing files, so On X will def be a learning curve.

Dang. been using GAIA for well over 5 years now, this kinda sucks.

Although for context, this increase is only about the same cost as a few gallons of fuel.

I searched for GAIA coupon codes last week and found a $29.95 subscription for the first year, so I signed up again. Sorry, but I don't recall where I found it, but it may have been on GAIA.com.

EDIT: Disregard, I was mistaken about the renewal. I’m still a bit confused as I though I bought a year subscription last September, but my account shows I only had a trial that expired last November…?

It’s the best app for my use I’ve found so far though, but price is very off putting…I still miss MotionX GPS.

I cancelled my sub. Too much usless "social media" stuff on it for me. Then I lost a week's of track because I could not sync. OUTSIDE bought it so I guess it needs to be a bigger profit center for them. There have been other bugs, too that were very frustating for me
Bye.

I do not miss MotionX. It had horrible interface and would not continue tracking your course if you minimized the app or switched to another app (part of the reason they built a MP3 player into their screen).

Interesting you had that issue. MotionX worked great for me. I used it a ton when running and never had an issue switching between it and other apps like Pandora or Apple Music. I agree that the user interface wasn’t great.

On a side note, I ended up subscribing to OnX Offroad it does what I need and is half the price of Gaia.
