Distance Markers for Android
Would like to see distance markers available in the Android version of Gaia GPS.

Thanks for posting and sharing your feedback.
I can see how this feature would be helpful but unfortunately, don't have an ETA on this feature as current projects are focused on updating the mapping framework in the Android app.
In the meantime, you can view the distance you have hiked by adjusting one of the variables in the Stats Bar to be Distance. -
Please add this. I was very disappointed I couldn't add distance markers after I paid for this subscription. I saw my buddy do it on his iphone and just assumed it would be the same on Android. I won't be renewing my subscription. when it expires until you get this added, and I actually regret having made this purchase. Thanks.

I'm sorry this feature is not available in the Android app - we definitely understand the value in adding this feature but like Nate said we are currently focused on updating the mapping framework in the Android app. After this project, we will be able to work on adding new features for Android and apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. -
I've said it before, for years we the community who actually plan and use GAIA, have been offering suggestions and asking for an equal platform to iOS, GAIA, if acting on some of theses suggestions (waypoints and position on the elevation profile, range rings etc) could have been a superb app. I honestly don't know what direction GAIA is going, it seems to be the jack of all trades, master of none. Android is severely lacking, route planning is abysmal, there is not a track edit option, the web based folder structure and handling of bulk items is a joke. I'll say it again, come on GAIA!

I've been using Locus Maps for several years now but kept hearing how great Gaia GPS was. So I jumped in at the end of March and bought the one year sub only to find how dismal the Android version is compared to the IOS version. I just cancelled my sub in Google Play but of course can't get a refund. Got suckered out of 39 bucks for one year but that certainly won't happen again.

Hey @Steve,
Sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with the Android app.
Just so you know, we have a 100% money-back guarantee.
Please email support@gaiagps.com and we're happy to issue you a refund.
We can answer any questions you may have too. -
Mileage (distance) markers on both Android and online maps for printing is a feature that most of your competitors offer. It is very helpful in planning even if hidden in the printed version. I am new to my Gaia subscription, but this is the first feature that I assumed would exist in a paid subscription. It is especially disappointing to search and find that it is available in IOS, but not web or Android. Please reconsider the effort and priority.
