Use the Share Markups feature to help keep your group coordinated.
When you share Markups with other onX Backcountry users, they will be able to view the Markup on their map and in their My Content Menu, but they will not be able to edit the Markup. After Sharing a Markup, you can unshare it whenever you want.
