Ask About OB1, The Overland Bound App

barnstormers said:
are there downloadable instructions one can get for all this? I guess I'm just an old guy because even if the videos are out they just move faster than I learn. and the forums are great but when I'm on a trail or out for the weekend I can't pull up the forum to answer a question about a button or a how to and its frustrating to just click buttons until the map is a mess and I'm pissed.

Hi Barney!

It's been a busy day! I got your message as well - but thought I would answer here for everyone's info!

Written documentation is currently in development, but not done yet unfortunately. In the meantime, I'm glad to answer your questions here about things you are trying to do.

Am I correct in assuming that the Expedition Tier upgrade needs to be purchased through the app rather than on the website store? I was looking around the store today, but don't see anywhere to do that.

Correct at this time. I moved the "Bug" question to that section...

Mike, when i click the yelow plus at the bottom of my map it goes to create rally point , no option to add location.. Is thiis due to being a legacy member and not expedition tier? was trying to uplaod GPX from Gaia from my trip last week. Thanks

Dave, on the map are you looking at the event tab or planning tab. You need to be on the planning tab inorder to crate a POI or add a GPX file. As far as Expedition Tier… I don’t know… @Michael???

Ok, I missed the little tabs at the top, switching to the planning tab did the trick, changes the function of the add button and now the upload works. Nice that you can enter all kinds of details about the route, and make it public or private. Getting more happy with the app the more i discover what it will do. Thank you

You’re welcome
 
If I have a lat/longitude location, how do I search for it on a map. Was hoping I could just type it in a search and have the map find it.

@Michael needs to answer this…. But I think so.

Nope - this is because you are on the Rally Point Map tab - so the "+" is contextual. Go to the plan tab and you should see the add location option. Still working on streamlining UI - that can be confusing.
