I love Gaia GPS. However, I am consistently accidentally hitting pause/finish track when I'm in the middle of hike. My last hike, this happened no less than 5 times. I would suggest putting in an extra popup in the middle of the screen that asks for confirmation to perform the action. This is how Delete Track works.

  @ellis.d.c, 
  
  Thanks for using Gaia GPS and for the suggestion. 
  
  To avoid accidentally pausing/finishing a track, you could try replacing the Record Button with a different statistic. This way you won't accidentally stop a recording from the Map screen. Here is how: Change Visible Stats in the Android app. 
  
  If you decide to do this, you'll still be able to start and stop a track recording from the Trip screen: Record and Resume Tracks
  
  Please contact Support here if you have any questions.
