Information about the location is added step by step. Before adding, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the Rules for adding places (The Rules can also be downloaded in the app by clicking on the “Gear” icon in the upper right corner of the profile).

Here's a brief guide:

  1. In the bottom menu, there's a "+" button in the center. Click on it and select “Add place to map”.
  2. Move the marker to the desired point on the map.

    • Option one:

      By default, the map opens at the user's current location. If your point is nearby, simply move the map to the desired location, adjusting its scale.

    • Option two:

      Find the desired area on the map using search, for instance, by entering a city near the desired location, and then use manual map movement.

    • Option three:

      The current address of the point is indicated at the top of the screen. You can either enter the desired address there or edit the current one.

  3. After selecting a location on the map, click the “Add place” button.
  4. Then choose the appropriate type of place. To determine the place type, refer to the section “What types of locations exist and what distinguishes them?”
  5. Provide information about the place:
    • Indicate how you can get to the place: sedan, bus, motorhome, caravan, motorcycle, 4x4 jeep, or on foot (hiker).
    • You can select multiple types. Specify any restrictions on the way to the location: bad road, seasonal restrictions, height or width restrictions.
    • Specify the quality of cell signal at the location.
    • Provide details: operating hours, seasonal operation, any paid services, and if pets are allowed.
    • Fill in the name and description of the place - try to provide as much detail as possible:
      • About the road to the location.
      • How many vehicles can fit at the location.
      • Before adding the point, make sure it's not on private property (if it's private property, get permission from the owner).
      • If you're adding a hotel or a location with paid services, list available services and their costs, e.g., shower, parking on-site, etc.
    • Review the Rules for adding places (The Rules can also be downloaded in the app by clicking on the “Gear” icon in the upper right corner of the profile).
    • Add photos of the location. Add more informative photos showing your vehicle, and any challenging spots on the approach.
  6. Click the “Submit” button
    • Your location will be sent for moderation and will appear on the map after successful verification by moderators.

Thank you for your responsible approach to adding locations!

  • In the bottom menu, click on “+” and select “Create a moment”.
  • Choose the location related to your post – using the search bar (you can search by name or address, so it's better to find the required location in advance and remember its address and name) or pick a point on the map.

    Tip: You can display the list of locations in the search as a list of location cards, making it easier to navigate!

  • Select photos from your device's gallery related to the chosen location. You can apply various filters to the selected photos.
  • Share your impressions of the selected location, and perhaps, offer some valuable advice to other travelers.
  • Add interests to the description that correspond to the moment (no more than 3 interests per moment).
  • Publish the Moment.

Before publishing, we recommend reviewing the rules for adding Moments.

  • You earn four GO points for each new location added (the location must adhere to the Rules for adding places, which can also be downloaded in the app by clicking on the "Gear" icon in the top right corner of your profile) and be approved by a moderator.
  • You earn two GO points for each Moment, but no more than eight GO points per week.

Click on the gear icon in the top right corner of your profile, then click 'Edit Profile.' You can choose the type of vehicle, specify the make and model, select a color, and set the color intensity.
