Downloading multiple map layers
I am a new user, so please forgive my ignorance.
I created a route and want to be able to switch the map layer between Gaia Topo and USGS Topo. This is easy to do of course when I have internet access. But what do I need to do to be able to have both on my phone without internet access? I can of course save a version of the route with Gaia Topo and another version with USGS Topo, and download them separately as two different routes. But is there a nicer way to do this?
In other words, what is the best way to make multiple map sources available for a given route when I am off-line?
The reason for this question is that Gaia Topo seems to be missing some important items. I just returned from Emigrant Wilderness and found out the hard way that Gaia Topo did not show some of the key creeks (Buck Creek, Cherry Creek, etc.) but did show others. USGS Topo on the other hand seems to show all of the creeks.

Hi Benjamin,
The best way to make both maps available is to download one of each for offline use, just like you've described above.
With a Premium Membership, you could layer those maps together and download them both at the same time. Here's how layered maps work: https://help.gaiagps.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003525147

I just arrived here looking for the same answer. After poking around, I found a solution similar solution a bit more specific for the question.
I'm currently on the premium membership, so your results may vary...
1. Add a new "area" to the main map - drag out the corners to cover where you'd like the maps. Give it a name & save it
2. Select the area on the map and view details. On the more button (•••), there is an option to download maps for area. Select "Download maps for area"
3. The already visible layers will be pre-selected, but you can add more at this point.
