yeah good afternoon youtube so this is gaia gps on android and i have the
terrain hd layer loaded and you can see i get the shaded relief on the terrain and if you zoom
out far enough it all loads but as you zoom in i guess certain tiles of that data aren't available
at that resolution so it's really frustrating you know like oh wow let's zoom in a little bit and
you can you can zoom in a ways on some sections but then you know it's like what if i want to go
over here i can't see that section so it's really weird how the certain sections of the map work
and other sections don't that's gaia now let me show you another one that i've tried here
so this is osm and state by state you can load the road map or the full topo map they have a hill
shade layer which i have loaded and then they also have a wikipedia layer that i've not tried but the
hill shade basically is that gray dark tinting on the topo map so they're just shading the sides of
the slope so there's like sun coming in from what's that like the northwest and then the
southeast slopes are shaded but it's very low resolution you know there's just no detail in it
if you zoom out it looks okay really not useful to zoom in so that's another one i wanted to try this
wikipedia thing here let's see configure map so points of interest oh okay so yeah i've loaded
the wikipedia so let's see what that does here oh okay see it brings in all of these
points of interest that are on wikipedia so let's see what that read article oh that's pretty neat
yeah so they give you the all the information off the wikipedia page and i'm offline there's
no no bars up here because you got to zoom in far enough oh okay yeah it gives you the
the wikipedia page so that that's pretty neat that was one thing that i wanted to try out
so this is fully offline and let's see what this says here 1838 san andreas earthquake
that's a neat feature of the osm and and they also seem to have an option
to load user maps like avenza maps so i need to try to get my hill shade map to load in here so
that it can display my current location and show me where i am on the map it's like here
it'll show me there that's where i am right now so anyway this is osm and so none of the hillshade
features in either of those two mapping apps either osm and or gaia gps are really super useful
now this one the nice thing is you can zoom in to any level you want it's just there's no detail
there the one in gaia if you zoom in too far it disappears so they're both not terribly useful but
yeah that wikipedia thing is kind of neat because that works totally offline you know you can just
be out in the middle of nowhere and hey is there something interesting around and you know all over
the place it shows up so yeah anyway just thought i'd show you that as always thanks for watching
