Tracking / Trip recording

Creating a social post

Intro

Crafting a social post allows you to share noteworthy moments or updates even when you're not actively on the move. This is ideal for mid-track updates or highlighting specific events. Social posts appear on the home feed with a fixed pin indicating the location where the post was created.

Create social post

  1. Navigate to Home Feed > Tap the ‘+’ icon in the upper right corner > Select ‘Add post’.

  2. Location: The map pin defaults to your exact location when tapping ‘Add post.'

  3. Adjust the pin location by tapping ‘Change’ and scrolling the map until it's centered on the desired place to display for your post's location.

  4. Add a caption, photos (up to 50MB per image), and videos (up to 15 seconds with Freemium, up to 30 seconds with Plus or Patron). Remember, you can add up to 5 media with a free plan and unlimited media with Plus or Premium.

  5. Trip visibility setting determines who can view your trip in the Logbook tab of your public profile. Choose from:

    • Everyone – Your trip will be visible to all SeaPeople users.

    • People I Follow – Only people you follow and your crew members can see your trip.

    • Private – Only you and your crew members will have access to your trip.

  6. Publish to feed toggle

    • Turn this off if you’re not ready to share your trip in the home feed after tracking.

    • Once you’ve rested, added a fun description, and uploaded photos or videos, scroll down and toggle it on.

    • When published, your trip will appear in the feed with today’s date, and your followers will receive notifications.

  7. Hide overview map toggle: Your post will be displayed without the map in the feed card. The map and your location will still be shown in the post details screen.

  8. Once you've filled in all the details, click the "Save" button to add it to your logbook. The post will be also posted to the home feeds if the 'publish to feed' is toggled on.

Edit the post

Edit the post by tapping its text > accessing a full view version > tapping the pencil icon in the top right corner. Edit options include changing the pin location, caption, and media.

Delete the post

Delete the post by opening the Edit Post screen and tapping ‘Delete post’ at the bottom.
