Thanks for offering to answer questions about the roll-out of the new app. I just bought the old app a few weeks ago. If I install the new app, will it erase and replace the old app on my Iphone/Ipad? I would like to keep the old one for the time being while I evaluate the new one.
Nope, old app is old and new is new. Totally separate so you can run both. You will get credit for your purchase in the new app for the subscription fee. It depends on purchase date of the old app. All of that info is in the FAQ from GAIA.

To summarize: I made a route in Google maps, imported to Google earth, saved as a KML file, downloaded to Gaia. The route show up as a red line. I tried the add route feature via computer and began placing dots on the red line in the direction I intended to drive. I got about halfway and the program zoomed out and I lost all the route dots. This happened twice. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and haven't had a chance to try via my android tablet yet.
Gaia can explain the difference between routes and tracks better than I can. I think there is an FAQ. Yes, if you have a track line or route line it makes no difference. There is no turn by turn instructions so you are just following the line and any waypoints you decide to add.
What version are you using? iOS or Android. Important to know. Then I can try to help you further. Thanks, Chris
In general, all versions, you can download an entire state of you want. It depends on how much storage space you have, the layers selected (if you are a pro user), and zoom level. When save any map you get to name it what you want and that will be stored in your settings for future use. A screenshot from my iPhone is below. Since you question is pretty generic the help files which Gaia provides online can also give you guidance.
You won't have to pay again. You will get a credit for the purchase of the current version against the new subscription model. Most likely a year free. Feel free to ask Gaia that question directly though. I haven't heard any updates on the timeline yet.

Thanks, no worries. I worked with them in a very similar capacity as you to help bring Gaia to the club. I didn't have sufficient hardware att so didn't use it much on device.
That under the old app was difficult to do because each app was a separate paid app. Once the new Android app launches and changes to a subscription model it might be possible. I would contact Gaia and ask.
