- Relaunch Gaia GPS
If force closing the app doesn't work, try restarting your device.
Recording Stops Unintentionally
Recording a track with Gaia GPS uses a lot of processing power. Sometimes Apple's operating system will kill the recording process if it decides it's using too much.
To avoid this we recommend:
- Closing all other applications that are running in the background
- Not taking panoramic photos while recording
If the OS does kill the recording process, Gaia GPS is designed to resume the track automatically, but only if location services are set to always.
