Feed

The feed shows public trips from everyone. Open it with Public posts in the top menu (/posts). You do not need an account to read it.

What does the feed show?

Posts are ordered by the date traveled, newest first. More posts load as you scroll. Each post shows the author, trip date, title image and the start of the story; press "see more" to read all of it. There is no search or filter in the feed. To find a particular traveller, open their profile.

How do the map and the feed work together?

On wide screens a map sits beside the feed with a pin for each trip. The map is linked to the feed:

  • Scrolling the feed moves the map to the post you are reading.
  • Moving or zooming the map scrolls the feed to the first trip in view.
  • Clicking a pin scrolls to that post and expands it. Hover a pin to see a thumbnail, name and date.
  • When you expand a post with tracks, the map shows that trip's own tracks and locations, with a Show all trips button to return.
  • Use Map / Satellite to change the background.

On narrow screens the side map is hidden. Each post has a Map button that opens the trip's map full screen.

How do I react to or share a post?

Signed-in readers can use the thumbs-up or thumbs-down buttons. A dislike asks for a reason and hides the post from you; posts with dislikes are reviewed by an administrator. See Stories. The share menu offers copy link, share to Facebook, share to LinkedIn and download PDF. Links to other websites show a warning before you leave Geofoobar.

How do I get my trip into the feed?

Make the trip public: set Trip privacy to Public in the trip's Settings. The trip needs a position (trip origin) and a non-empty story. See Trips.
