What is a group, and how do you use one?

Groups allow you to assemble and structure routes, locations, and even users under a single umbrella. 

Groups provide you with the opportunity to:

Groups and Routes

Sharing routes in a group

Why it’s a good idea 

Groups are a convenient way to share routes. Need a prime example? Imagine that an author or club correctly classifies the routes of regular Saturday and Sunday bike trips under the relevant group as ‘Club X’s Saturday rides’ or ‘Club X’s Sunday rides’. Club members planning to join the trip on Saturday or Sunday can then join the relevant group to stay updated. In other words, not only can your group include members, but routes as well. A group neatly brings it all together.

Sharing private routes

You can actually make private routes visible to group members (only). Find out why that’s useful and how to do it here.

Co-authoring routes

The co-authorship function also allows you to collaborate on a route as a group. This page explains the ins and outs of that process.

Designing route networks

Groups: public or private?

Groups can be made public (visible) or private (hidden) the same way routes can be made public or private. Here’s how:

  1. Go to your group.
  2. Click the pencil  ab5f88b1f33d9dc0335edc3ba6e91728_3318c74 to edit your group.
  3. Select Basic data.
  4. This takes you to the administration page and Visibility, where you can choose to make your group visible (public) or hidden (private). 

If your group is private, only group members will have access to the group description and content.
