Explore Communities and Organizations
Overview
OuterSpatial web pages help visitors find communities, organizations, and outdoor places before opening the mobile app. Use Communities and Organizations to browse public partners. Use Explore to view areas, trails, points of interest, and outings on a map.
Browse Communities
Open Communities to browse public OuterSpatial communities. A community groups outdoor places, partner organizations, and related content around a shared location or theme.
Open a community to view its public page. Community pages can include partner organizations, locations, challenges, events, articles, and community posts when that content has been published.
When a community or event has sponsors, its sponsor strip appears on the public page. Select a sponsor to view details and open its linked OuterSpatial organization or website when available.
Explore a Community
Select Explore This Community to open a map scoped to that community. The community Explore page uses the community boundary or extent, so the map and list focus on places connected to that community.
Browse Organizations
Open Organizations to browse public OuterSpatial organizations. When location access is available, the page can highlight Organizations Near You.
Open an organization to view its public page. Organization pages can include locations, challenges, events, articles, community posts, and available products when those items have been published.
Explore an Organization
Open an organization's Explore page to view a map scoped to that organization. Select a place on the map or in the list to highlight the same place in both views. Select View Details when you are ready to open the location page.
Use Explore
Open Explore to view public OuterSpatial places on a map with a list view. The result count covers the current map area, while the list loads a sorted set of cards as you browse. Select a map feature to reveal its matching card. Select a card to highlight the feature on the map, then select View Details to open the location page.
Explore supports areas, trails, points of interest, and outings. Some Explore links can also preselect a category, location, or feature. At broad zoom levels, zoom in to load a useful set of location cards.
When places overlap on the map, use the arrows or dots above the location card to browse the places at that spot. The map highlights the place shown on the current card. If a card is taller than the available space, scroll within it to see the remaining details.
To find places that sell reservations, passes, or tickets, choose Purchases above the map and select one or more types. Explore shows locations linked to at least one of the selected types, and the chip shows how many types are selected. The count under the result total names the selected types. Purchases combines with your other filters, and the same choices appear in All Filters.
Troubleshooting
If you do not see the community, organization, or location you expected, check that the link is spelled correctly and that the page is public. Some content appears only after an organization publishes it, and some actions may be available only in the OuterSpatial mobile app.
