Please update MVUMs more often

While out adventuring this weekend I discovered multiple inaccuracies in the MVUM overlay in Gaia.
The MVUMs are updated yearly, and now I cannot trust Gaia to have current information, I must always double check it against the current MVUM in Avenza.

  Hi there, 
  
  Thanks for your feedback. 
  
  Gaia GPS updates the MVUM overlay every thirty days. The most recent update was 4/17/20. 
  
  Additionally, the Forest Service offers 2 different MVUM products: geoPDF/print maps and Vector data.
  Gaia GPS uses the published Vector data. Avenza Maps uses geoPDF maps. These two sources may differ.  
  
  If you're curious to learn more, the USFS publishes their data here - https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/datasets.php
  
  It looks like the date of the last refresh for their Motor Vehicle Use Map: Roads data was May 4. 
  
  
  Please send an email to support@gaiagps.com with any further questions.
