Can I log into two phones as a Premium Member?

Hi, I’m planning on purchasing a premium membership, and I’d like to be able to use it on both my work phone and my personal, and possibly a tablet if I add one to the Subie. How many devices can simultaneously be operating?

    I frequently run my tablet and phone simultaneously on one Premium membership without a problem. I don't know about two phones and a tablet, but I wouldn't be surprised if it worked.  I have a very slow internet connection at home so when I'm downloading large amounts of map data I often download to the phone via cellular connection and to the tablet via Wifi - both at the same time.  Again, no problem.

    One thing you might consider is that Gaia is set up to keep your devices synchronized with the same downloaded maps, folder structure, tracks, routes etc.  Thus your two devices might need considerable extra memory in the form of micro sd card space.  Especially if you want to have large areas mapped in high detail for use without internet connection. If you start building your Gaia offline data, accumulate a fair amount, and then decide you need more offline memory, all of the previous data will likely have to be downloaded again before you can start building additional data.  In other words, if a large offline base is in your future, I would invest in the largest, fastest, highest quality micro sd cards you can find prior to starting your downloads.  It recently took me two weeks to rebuild the 80 gb library on my tablet when it's card failed.  I'm using 256 gb micro sd cards and I wish I'd invested in 512 gb cards.

    Yes, you can use your membership on multiple devices by logging into your account. When connected to WiFi or data, you will be able to sync your information between each device.

    This hasnt worked for me. For some reason it just logs me out of my secondary device. Real shame

    @Harry, 

    If you're having trouble logging into more than one device with your account, please contact Support here so we can take a closer look.
