Contour lines completely wrong in areas I travel
Hello Folks. Not sure where to get answers for this. The contour lines in my region are totally wrong. Not in elevation but they are squared out. This makes them really hard to read. They are this way on my phone and on the website. If you want to know what I mean you can go to. 117 4 30 W by 49 2 30 N and look. I am a professional guide and I use this app and recommend it to students in my Avalanche Safety Classes. I am having a hard time recommending it anymore when the contour lines are a total mess. Please help.

Hi Kootenay,
I think you're using Gaia Topo - we're aware of a few areas where the contour lines are not rendering properly like you've described.
If you switch to OpenHikingMap HD (a very similar map to Gaia Topo, based on the same data) - the contour lines don't have the same problem.

What is hiking map HD? I purchased Gaia GPS.

OpenHikingMap HD is one of the dozens of maps you can use in Gaia GPS. Here are instructions to change your map: https://help.gaiagps.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003525027

I have the same problem with the funny contour lines on Gaia Topo. Some maps don't have them, such as OpenCycleMap HD, but they don't have all the information Gaia Topo has and they have less contrast. I like the high contrast and wide roads of Gaia Topo (I have some variant of colour blindness). The OpenHikingMap HD is not in my list of map layers (including the premium maps). I am willing to go premium, if this includes a map like Gaia Topo but without the funny contour lines. But how do I know?
