SeaPeople Hails: Take a second to get up to speed on Hails with @Riley. Tap 🎥👇 How they work: When you select a Hail radius, you are sending a push notification to everyone’s phone within that area; unmatched access to people around you. 🗺️ Anyone can see them on the map and join the conversation. ⏱️ Once you join a hail, they stay in your chats feed after they expire on the maps; so you can keep chatting forever if you want. Delete them from your chats feed whenever. 🌍 And a BIG upgrade since we filmed this one… You can now Hail anywhere in the world. So send a Hail for local knowledge or planning where you are going to be, not just where you are now. Try one next time you want to get some people together, share some important navigation updates, or ask for some local knowledge. More about Hails in our help-center

Your friends, family, and/or followers want to be a part of your travels 🌏 That’s a fact. @elayna.carausu walks through how to keep mom happy, entertain your friends back home, and engage your social media followers with live web sharing. They don’t need the app, just your link. BRAND NEW: We just launched ghost 👻 mode! Meaning your movements can be totally hidden in the app (pinned or hidden in settings) yet viewers of your secure web link can still enjoy your live movements. Giving you the security options you need based on where you are, who you are, and what you want to share. @Marius_SV_Hafgufa is always on the move. Tracking live and sharing with friends and family. Give him a follow and check out where he goes next.

Together we can bring the entirety of the boating community into one place. Imagine a world where you enter a harbor and have access to free docks and rides to stores; a world where crew on commercial ships are actually communicating with recreational boaters underway; a world where fishermen/sailors/and powerboaters create the largest network of live updates for what’s happening on the water; in real-time. Thats the dream. Let’s do it sea people!
