Share places with the journal

PLACES AND COMMUNITY
Switch to private when you want
To keep something for yourself, switch the journal, place, or route to private before publishing. Private content stays in your account and off the community map.

OPEN COMMUNITY
One journal can help someone else reach the water
Public places, simplified routes, and field notes travel with the journal into the community map. People can explore, comment, and report changes, turning each real visit into a useful starting point for the next one.
- Publish with the journal
- Launch, landing, and allowed simplified route details are public by default
- Preview it first
- Check the map, photographs, and words before publishing or switching to private
- Manage it later
- Edit or withdraw a post, and add field updates after another visit
Raw dual-camera files, full enhanced video, raw sensor streams, and any precise route not selected for sharing stay in your account. A community post is not TOPDMS review.
