InReach 'Mapshare' Tutorial ( how to create or grab existing link )

To connect your InReach tracker with Trackleaders we need your Map Share link. Mapshare links look like this EXAMPLE:

https://share.garmin.com/YOURSHARENAME

Please use copy/paste and do not transcribe (type) it in key by key. The below tutorial shows you how to find an existing Mapshare in your account or how to create a new one.

Step 1 - Login

Step 2 - Go to SOCIAL Menu

Step 3 - Create or find existing Mapshare

If feed exists, copy/paste the link into the MapShare / XML Feed box found on your Trackleaders registration form.

If it does not, click the button to turn MapShare: On, and choose a name for your mapshare. Then Copy/Paste.

Note: The link must be set to PUBLIC (no password). You can leave a password on the link until your event/trip starts and then change it to public during the event (and back to password after), all without changing you link, but you need to remember to do so! Your mapshare link will never be made public on the web, it is only used internally.

Also note that your InReach needs an active subscription plan. We recommend using a 10 minute tracking for all Trackleaders events at a minimum. Almost all SPOTs will be running at 5 min intervals, but that requires a costly InReach plan, so we don't really recommend it.
