Tracking / Trip recording
Making mid-track updates - Voyages
Update others live, keep a better log.
The Mid-track updates feature—also called Voyages—lets you post/ share notes, photos, and videos while you’re underway, without ending your trip. These updates are added in real-time to your active track, appear in the home feed, and are visible to anyone watching your live trip on the web.
When you end your trip, your mid-track updates are saved alongside your full track, bundling your memories and media into one easy-to-access log.
Changing the way you log important notes, align your photos/ videos with place & time, and keep friends & family up to date on your travels.
Why use mid-track updates?
On long trips:
• Keep friends & family in the loop with live photos, videos, and updates.
• Log important data like wind shifts, fuel usage, sail changes, or sea state—useful for future planning or other boaters.
• Create a living record of the journey’s key moments.
On Short Trips:
• Geo-tag notes about current, depth, fishing spots, hazards, and more.
• Capture the vibe of the day by placing photos directly on your map for a better keepsake.
