You can use either with your phone for ease of functionality. The phone will "tether" off the Garmin's GPS when you're in the backcountry. If you don't like Garmin's maps, just use GAIA. It will work.

BUT the Garmin APP MUST run concurrently with the GAIA app.

To use:

Pair the device to your phone and DOWNLOAD the APP.

Turn on your bluetooth and pair the Device

Turn on the Garmin APP to "link" the Device

Turn on GAIA and use as needed.

Note that BOTH apps must run at the same time since your phone uses the Garmin APP to "tether" the GPS signal.



Common misconception - that you NEED to pay for a subscription. You dont.

You can use the GPS without the subscription.

BUT you need to pay for the texting/sos services.
Good info and deserves to be in a sticky somewhere.. not sure where
