Thank you very much for your review! I had Gaia years ago and liked it because every road or path was on it, but I liked the ease of navigation and planning with RW GPS better at the time. Looks like RW GPS is still ahead in that arena. Also, I noticed that RW GPS will not let me plan a ride across a road or mountain pass, for instance, if that road or pass is closed, let's say due to snow. Do you know if Gaia has that feature? Thanks again!
@@damerowr you are welcome and that is a good question. Since I live in Georgia I did not even know that the Ride with GPS had that option on closed passes. Back in March when we rode the Smoky Mountains in 500 I was running strictly off of g a i a. That app did not tell me that some of the Forest roads were not open yet. To be honest I'm not sure if there was a way to set that up on Gaia or not in about 3 weeks we are going to run the new Chattahoochee bdrx. The thing that I like about the Ride with GPS is that I've been able to sit down and see exactly what roads are gravel and what roads are pavement . I will definitely keep the Ride with GPS and renew that subscription next year, the Gaia subscription is up and about the same time. At that point I'll make a decision if I'm going to keep both apps. If you find out about the road closures on Gaia please let me know
