Share Markups to keep your group coordinated.
When you share Markups with links, the recipient can view the Markup on their map and in their My Content Menu, but they will not be able to edit or share the Markup. After Sharing a Markup with a link, you can unshare it whenever you want.
NOTE: Some cell carriers block links sent through SMS/text. If you experience any problems, please try sharing through email.
Sharing Markups using links only works when connected to wifi or mobile data, but you can also share Markups outside the cell network using Share Nearby. Click here to learn more about using Share Nearby.
