I see 'red', 'blue' and 'green' pins on my mobile Map. What’s the difference?
Your pins are red.

Blue pins are popular places, venues and locations, and have been saved by multiple users. Blue pins are anonymous, so no one will know which users have saved these locations.

Green pins have numbers inside them, and represent clusters of pins that are too close together to be resolved at the scale you’re viewing them.
Who can see my pins?
Your pins (red pins) can only be viewed by you.

Some of your pins may also be popular places, but neither you, nor anyone else, will know who else has saved these locations.
Can I see who is using MapPost?
To protect user privacy, it’s not possible to see who else is using MapPost.

All pins are anonymous, so no one will know who has saved a location.
How do I delete my content and pins from MapPost?
You can do it today when you log into your account on Chrome/Safari/Firefox browser. You soon will be able to do it inside the MapPost iOS and Android apps.
What if I see something inappropriate?
If you see something you think is inappropriate (e.g., obscene, racist, pornographic or otherwise inappropriate), please report this to MapPost immediately.

Contact us by sending an email to [email protected].

Please be sure to indicate the name of the venue or location that the inappropriate content has been associated with, so that we are able to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
