Any plans to support adding custom vector maps/overlays? As most of the overlays you provide are for US, would be nice for users from other countries to be able to add layers they need at least manually.

  You are able to add custom map sources to Gaia GPS. Follow these steps depending on the format you have:

  • Adding MBtiles map sources
  • Adding a TMS Map Source (found online)
  • For GeoTiff, GeoJSON, or other shapefiles you can use MapBox Studio to host and import them.

  To clarify, I'm talking about vector maps. TMS Map Source feature and the linked Mapbox Studio procedure are for raster maps (well the source can be vector but in the end it will be raster images which will take a lot of space on the device for offline use). However MBtiles can contain either raster or vector data, but it's unclear what Gaia iOS app supports.

  I'm sorry for the mix-up - currently, the iOS app is not able to support custom vector tiles. Although, I can definitely see how this would be a great additional feature in the app.  
  
  This post can serve as the official feature request for this functionality.

  Yes imagine being able to import all the excellent clean vector files from openandromaps.
