Blog posts can be added to your tracking page so your friends, family and followers can share the journey with you. Updates can be added via the PredictWind Website, PredictWind App or Offshore App on any direct download connection type.
Note: Blog posts cannot be updated via Offshore App email request.

UPDATING BLOG POSTS AND PHOTOS VIA THE OFFSHORE APP:

  • Open the Offshore App

  • Select GPS tracking from the main menu

  • Select Add a post. If you do not see this option you will first need to do a download of the GPS tracking data on an internet connection.

  • Fill in all the required fields, header, body, date and time. You need to fill in all of these fields. Please note your post needs to be at least 20 characters long with a unique title.

  • To add a photo, tap "choose file" and select the image from your library. The Photo can ONLY be uploaded (one at a time) when you connect to a high-speed internet connection, do not add them during your trip. You can add photos after your trip and timestamp them on the blog post.

  • Click on Save post. You will now see a notification on the downloads bar on the main menu.

  • This message will be sent when you are ready to do your next download.

  • Check you have the tracking data option selected in the download settings.

  • In the Downloads section, you will see your blog post and its file size.

  • Now download all your files, and your blog post will be uploaded.

  • Once the upload and download are complete, you will see your blog in the Offshore App. Your friends, family and followers will see it on your GPS tracking web page.
