To have the moving Benchmark Maps Baja Road Atlas, on you phone, you go to the Apps store, and download Avenza (it is free). Then go here and buy the
Benchmark Baja digital Atlas, for $19.99. That's it... good for as long as you have your phones and does not need cell service: The 2023 downloadable
Benchmark Baja Atlas App from Avenza is now here!
Here is the website link for new customers: https://store.avenza.com/products/baja-california-atlas-land...
If the map is already on your phone, the second edition upgrade option will pop up ($9.99).

Never heard that a phone/iPad would do what you want.
Get one of these for your iPad and see how it works. There are many other choices for more dollars.
VK-162 USB GPS Dongle
Find it on Amazon for $15.97
Should work if you have a USB port.

The only complaint I have with Gaia is that it takes FOREVER to download offline maps. A 100MB map can take 15+ minutes. |
the speed depends on you wifi speed.
don't blame GaiaGPS

I realize this thread is a couple of months old but I thought maybe I could get some info from you smarter guys. I have a newer Ipad w/gps and was
wondering if there is a app for off road gps that works here in northern baja. I have used Gaia but it is kind of a pain in that you have to download
area maps in advance. Any suggestions?
Off grid, 12-190 watt evergreen solar panels on solar trackers, 2-3648 stacked Outback inverters, 610ah LiFePo4 48v battery bank, FM 60 and MX60
Outback charge controllers, X-240 Outback transformer for 240v from inverters, 6500 watt Kubota diesel generator.

Benchmark Baja Atlas 2023 from Avenza.
You can zoom in for a closer look than your eyes will allow on the paper map.. I like that!
