Library and Collection Data Not Seen in MapShare

The MapShare™ page is designed to display user information, such as waypoints, tracks, routes, activities, and courses so that approved users can view them.

NOTE: Date and time stamps will be displayed using the time zone your computer or mobile device is set to when viewing MapShare. If you are accessing your own account, make sure you do not have the Garmin Explore™ website map page and your MapShare page open at the same time as this may prevent tracks or other items from displaying correctly.

Library and Collections can be enabled or disabled to be viewed on the MapShare page, allowing control of what others can see. Steps for this can be found below. You can also set the visible Library and Collections from the Social page by clicking Filter MapShare Data.
