Half app/half not question. As my annual membership was coming up (June 24th), I went ahead and upgraded to the Expedition Tier in the app last night. Now when I look at the online, it still shows my Adventure Tier set to auto-renew in 2 days. Are these actually separate memberships at this point or does the Expedition Tier on the app include the Adventure membership for the other stuff? Or more to the point, do I need to let the online membership autorenew, or would the upgrade I did online replace?

Well shut my mouth, that’s a really good idea. Now ya got me thinking. We’ll pursue thus with the Expo crew. Might be too late this year, but definitely next year.

I do think this aspect of the interface is confusing. Not surprised it came back up.

You should only have one subscription and expedition provides everything included in Adventure. Was adventure purchased on web? Pm me so I can take care of this for you.

Maybe if not at the official Expo classrooms you could set something up at the Overland Bound tent! There will be one at Overland East this year I hope!

Hey Everyone,
Just downloaded the OB1 app last night. I have not made a decision as to which level to purchase. I created a path on Google Earth, saved it and imported it to the OB1 app. Everything went smooth (although I was a bit annoyed by all the questions the required filling in for a route I had no idea about the trail) then I save the route as a private trail and a window popped up telling me that my route was submitted for review? I remember mIchael mentioning that in the video but here is my question.
-if I pull into Flagstaff with a route north of town loaded on my device and a fire has closed that area, do I have to go through the “review” process when I adjust my plans and decide to explore the south area below flagstaff? What if it is Friday night and I want to hit the trail first thing in the morning? Am I missing something? Also, how do I find out my trail has been approved? Thanks!

There is a notion of a quick save that will save only to your device. I don't know all the ins and outs of that but it should do what you want.

When importing a trail for your own use (private), just type some random stuff in the descriptions. You will have the ability to go back and edit later if/when you make the track public. As for the review part… private tracks don’t go in for review. I can only review public tracks and POIs.

sorry, I hit the send send button. First, thank you for your help.
You said private trails do not go in for review? When I hit save, as you can see from the screen shot “submitted for review”.

I don’t see it here on my end…I see a POI afor a trailhead you added, but nothing for a GPX track.

Private does go to Approval (Review), not sure why as I had 2 POI's this weekend and they was private but when I approved them I seen they was switched to Public... THis is a new thing (Bug?) as it never happened before, I have sent msg to Michael already.....

No review, in the above situation, you would be following a trail/track and if at anytime you deviate the app should just show you not on the trail anymore....
Did I understand your question right?

Yes, that sounds like what happened to me. When I went back to the two test trails I noticed the label had changed to “public” which would have send them for approval. Thanks.

Thanks Jim. It happened again, and I made sure I hit the private button but it still went in for approval. Sorry to clog up the forum (maybe private messages would be better?) how do I delete the trails once they are created? I searched through a few of Michael’s videos and did not see that covered. Thank you so much!
