Nice Route / Nice Gadget

A feature for telling a poster “this was a great article” or “this was helpful.”

Tap the button on the detail page to send it. You can also tap it directly from a post’s card. It is called Nice Route for touring posts and quick posts, and Nice Gadget for gadget info.

The number sent so far is shown next to the button. For posts you have already sent one to, the icon is shown filled. Tap it again to undo.

Saving Content

If you save a post you want to read again later, you can review them all together from Saved items on My Page. You can save touring posts, quick posts, and gadget info all with the same mechanism.

Tapping the save button on the detail page opens the screen for choosing a save category.

Sorting with Categories

When saving, you can choose a category to sort items. You can freely create categories such as “Want to visit” or “For reference” to match how you use them.

• If you have no category, create a new one with “Create a new category.”
• If you have existing categories, choose one with “Select a category to save to,” then tap “Save.”
• If it is already saved, “Change the category to save to” or “Unsave” is shown.

Reviewing Saved Posts

Open Saved items on My Page to choose and open posts you have saved.

• You can narrow down by category or keyword, so they stay easy to find as they grow.
• When you want to find saved posts on a map, use Find saved items on the map.

Copying Geographic Information

You can copy the map information (spots, lines, shapes, and so on) of another user’s touring post into your own new touring post. It’s handy when you want to travel the same place, or create your own article for reference.

Tap “Copy geographic information” on the detail page to start.

• Specify whether to copy all map information, or to copy by layer or by object.
• Enter a title for the new article to start.
• The copied article is saved as a draft, so edit and publish it from Created items or Drafts on My Page.

Only the map information is copied. The article’s body, photos, and tags are not copied.

Even within the map information, some things carry over and some do not.

• The names and descriptions of spots and lines carry over.
• Images attached to objects do not carry over.
• Recording lines are converted to ordinary lines, and recording information (such as dates and times) does not carry over.
