Thanks, Tony! I’m actually an Elite member of the off-road flavor! Is your recommendation to essentially use waypoints for the info?

In my mind I’d really like to host my own map which neighbors could share, just starting from a baseline of parcel boundaries and a way to drop info on each plot (onX does this wonderfully already).

Back in the day, my mom would make a little neighborhood diagram using MS Publisher and drawing boxes at the approximate locations of houses, and include names & phone numbers of each house. She would then distribute copies to the neighbors to hang on fridges. I loved that idea and basically want an online version of that, in a perfect world!



nice! yes, that's what I was suggesting for sure. You could put waypoints with contact info in a folder, and share that? Wouldn't obviously be useful for people without the apps.
