Gaia GPS: Mobile Trail Maps version 2023.6
Updated At: 2023-09-06
Changes: Sep 6, 2023
Version 2023.6
Smaller Waypoint Icons
. Too many saved waypoints cluttering up your map? There's a new option you can enable to display waypoints as small colored dots, making it easier to read the map underneath. They still enlarge to become the usual pin icons when you zoom in enough.
. Try it out by enabling "Smaller Waypoint Icons" in Settings > Map Controls.
More Accessible Map Labels
. Text labels in Gaia Topo (and all of our other vector map layers) now respect the system text size setting. You can change your phone's text size in the iOS Settings app, under Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Larger Text. Choosing a larger value will increase the User Interface text size in most apps, and now it will make map labels in Gaia GPS easier to read too. You can also change the text size for individual apps by enabling the Text Size control in the settings for the iOS Control Center.
