Vote for Gaia GPS support!

[jeppesen.io]

Anyone who uses Gaia GPS and wants support for Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, please vote for it! I hope it gets support before I get my JL. I'm not aware of any mapping apps, aside from the default one, with Android Auto (or Apple CarPlay) support. It'll come in time.

Use the old 430 n radio in my08 rubicon It works pretty well it is easy to see and gets me where I want to go that being said I have an I phone and I don't like the way the screen flips the wrong way. I really hope that the the new units will allow the use of nav systems like Gaia or back country explorer or US topo maps. I sat in a chevy Colorado zr2 with I am not sure but I think it was an apple play an it would NOT run the all the apps on my iPhone. There is also a radio made by Insane audio that I hope is what an android play radio would be in the new jeep. You can download any android app it has 3d topo and 256 gigs of memory and a sd card slot to expand. Regular nav on street is just fine with a phone or just about anything but these are jeeps and by god they ought to have a decent off road Map system IMHO

There was a way to side-load Garmin Back-country mapsminto the old 430, but with the software uodate in 2015 it lost that capability when they changed firmware packaging. I have a friend at Garmin so I have ways around it, but I would like better out-of-the-box support to not annoy a friend whenever I need to update (when recently swapped head units due to catastrophic DVD failure I didn't bother asking him to re-load it).

I will support Gaia , as it's a good app (if over-rated IMO) , but I would love to see better integration of the North American topo maps and US geographical survey maps and NatGeo maps, and the BRM off-road maps.

Making integration of these maps (dunno if there's a US equivalent) would make my life easier;

Their app is pretty good, and would love to see that added to AndroidAuto/CarPlay along with Gaia;

I couldn't agree more! I use US topo maps it works very well once I got he learning curve down I don't like the idea of paying monthly fees
