Hello all, 

We’ve received a few questions about what is going to happen to CalTopo map sources used in Gaia GPS when CalTopo ends their licensing agreements in Jan 2021. 

We will have replacement/improved map sources for these CalTopo layers up and running before our contract terms expire. 

These sources will be built by our in-house team from source data. We have actually been working on this since early this year. Some sources have already been updated. We expect this to be a seamless transition and we anticipate most users won’t even notice the change. 

If you experience any issues please contact support.

  Hey @rescuejg,
  
  Nothing will happen to your downloaded maps from CalTopo sources. You can continue using offline maps from CalTopo sources without any interruption throughout this switch over.
  
  The only exception to this rule is with the Slope Angle Shading source.
  
  If you have downloads of Slope Angle Shading, you will receive a notification in the app that an update is available.
  
  The update notification will appear as a green banner on the Saved tab.
  
  Accepting the update will update your map downloads with the new source.
  
  If you have any other questions, please contact support.
