This update brings improvements to both map sharing and marker icon selection, making it easier to collaborate on maps and quickly find the right icons for your points.

What’s new

More flexible map sharing

• You can now share maps with specific users, not just broad visibility settings.

• Set per-user permissions such as View only or Editor.

• This allows sharing a map link with general view-only access, while allowing a specific subset of collaborators to edit.

More icons for markers and improved picker

• Expanded the marker icon library with many new options, including safety, hazard, activity, and transport icons.

• Added search bar so you can easily find the icon you’re looking for.

Other improvements

• You can now search the map by latitude + longitude coordinates.

• Maps with header images or descriptions will now display those on desktop, matching the mobile experience.

Many of these improvements came directly from feedback in the new Backtrack Discord community. If you have ideas, feature requests, or things that could work better, we’d love to hear them.
