This article will show you how to set distance marker intervals in the iOS app. Distance intervals are an optional feature that can be used while recording a track. Distance markers can also be used for tracks or routes after they are saved.
Distance Interval Options
There are 3 options for using Distance Intervals:
- Notifications - Will show a visual notification of the distance traveled on your device's lock screen
- Markers - Will plot blue markers along your track/route at each interval
- Announcements - An audio announcement of the distance traveled will be made at each interval
Enabling Distance Notifications and Markers
1. Go to the Distance Markers section of the Settings menu.
2. Select a distance interval (0.25, 0.50, or 1 mile)
3. Toggle your preferred distance options. Toggling on notifications will show notifications on the lock screen. Toggling on Markers will show blue dots along routes. Toggling on announcements will give verbal announcements at the chosen distance interval.

Where can one find the Settings menu on GaiaGPS web app (gaiagps.com)?
There isn't a settings menu on gaiagps.com like you see here. You can read the articles here for information about using gaiagps.com. If there is a specific option you are looking for, let me know and I'm happy to help.
I don't have a "Distance" option on my "Settings" menu. Android 8.1.0, Gaia 7.0.7.

Currently, the distance markers are just available in the iOS version of Gaia GPS, sorry about that! If you would like to see this feature in the Android version, please vote and comment on this feature request: https://help.gaiagps.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115008051467-Distance-Markers-for-Android.
