How are people using Bookmarks?

1

Who uses the bookmarks, and if so, what for? I am genuinely curious as I haven’t employed them and not sure what I’d do with them. Enlighten me.

The Bookmarks feature came out of Lifemap bookmarks paired with my own needs… :sweat_smile:

We’ve got a small free run club out of The Reset Fitness (you should go if you’re near Holyoke, MA … run club is Sundays at 7:30am), and one of our ideas was to host a mural run to check out all the Beyond Walls murals. I built the route, and I wanted a way to place a pin on the map for each mural … :tada: Bookmarks :tada:

So we got to run this Beyond Walls Holyoke route, and I’d open up the Bookmarks tab & click the “Show All” button & enable LifeMap Life, and shout out to the group whenever we were near one. It was a ton of fun, and we even had some visitors from across the state!

Super-helpful - thanks for the background, James. Given I am in LA, won’t make the club events!

Also curious! I’d asked for a way to pin a note to the map as a reminder to revisit a spot that I didn’t have time to explore. Now, I’m using it to mark places I remember fondly or want to share with someone else (I have several that just say “sit here”). Occasionally use them to note the names of paths / trails for updates in OSM too.

I tried a bookmark, i get the idea, but how do you delete one?

There’s a delete button next to the show button on the Bookmarks page (linked from the top left menu)
