Sharing Topo Maps+ Data

Using the web app? Sharing Data on the Web App

Share links let you send map data to friends or colleagues, whether or not they use Topo Maps+. A link opens in the Topo Maps+ app if it's installed, and otherwise as an interactive map on the web.

Sharing your own data uploads it to Topo Maps+ and gives you a link to it. If you'd rather send a file someone can open in another mapping app, see Exporting GPX & KML Files.

  3. Tap the share type (the app remembers the type you used last)(Static Share by default) to choose the kind of link:

    • Static Share: Shares a copy of the data. The link never changes, which is ideal for social media or trail review sites.
    • Dynamic Share: Shares the data from your account, so the link updates whenever you change that data. This works well for an upcoming trip with friends.
    • Instagram Share: Creates an image of the selected data, sized for Instagram.
