Sharing POIs, Images And Notes

POIs, images and notes can all be shared via the ViewRanger server so that

others can see them.

To share a POI highlight it in a list, press the cursor pad centre or button and

choose Share on server. If the POI does not yet have a category you will be

prompted to choose one. ViewRanger will connect to the Internet and send your

POI. You will be asked whether you want to share any images and notes

associated with the POI. You can also access Share on server from the Details

view.

You can see the POIs that other people have shared when you use the Search

view.

Whole POI sets can be shared in the same way, by selecting the POI set and

choosing Share POI set.

If your image or note is associated with either a licensed POI or a shared POI,

then you can share your image or note to the ViewRanger server so that others

can see it. You can also see images and notes that other people have chosen

to share.

To share an image go to the image list, highlight the image, press the cursor

pad centre or button and choose Share on server. ViewRanger will connect

to the Internet, send your image with its description and associate it with the

POI. You can also access Share on server from the image view.

If you have several images to share, again go to the image list and choose

Options > Share all on server.

The above steps apply to notes as well.

You can make changes to POIs, notes or images that you have shared. Once

you have made the changes press the cursor pad centre or button and

choose Update on server from the menu. In the case of an image you will be

asked if you wish to re-send the image, or just its note and description – so you

can avoid data charges if you just need to make a textual update.

You can delete the POI, image or note from the server using Delete from

server.

If you spot a serious problem with a POI, image or note, immediately suspend it

from the server using Report abuse. If you spot a less serious error, report it

using Report error and we will correct it, though the item will stay visible until

we do.
