If you’re like me, the Gaia GPS app has been among my most-used pieces of backcountry “gear”. Since the company’s acquisition by Outside, it seems theres been a major shift towards marketing Gaia as a social media and data sharing tool rather than a navigation tool. Their latest update bundles in Amplitude tracking analytics. Ad blockers filtering this api now cause the Gaia web map to fail to load, even though it ran completely fine with those same ad blockers before the update. Is this already happening in the app, and what can we do as users to protect our data? I’m sure that the folks in here are quite representative of a company like Gaia’s target demographic. Or maybe once we’re? I’d love your thoughts. This sub has a better hand on the pulse of the outdoor community than most.
