FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my waypoints work without cell service?

Yes! GPX waypoints are stored on your device. Combined with offline maps (download before your trip), you can navigate anywhere without cell service.

What details should I track in Notion?

Add properties like "Type" (campsite, fishing, trailhead), "Access" (2WD, 4WD, hike-in), "Water" (yes/no), "Season" (best months), "Permits" (required/not), "Cell Service" (yes/no), and "Notes" for conditions. All appear in waypoint descriptions.

Can I share spots with my adventure group?

Share the map URL for online viewing, or share the GPX file directly. Everyone can load the same waypoints on their devices.

How do I keep my secret spots private?

Only share the map URL with trusted friends. The URL is not indexed by search engines. For maximum privacy, share GPX files directly instead of the web map.

Can I add photos to my Notion locations?

Yes! Add photos to your Notion database. While photos do not export to GPX, they are visible on the web map and help you remember each spot.

How accurate are coordinates for remote locations?

Notion's Place property uses the same geocoding as Google Maps - accurate for named locations and addresses. For precise backcountry spots, enter coordinates manually or use a GPS app to capture exact lat/lon.
