Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about how the map and its community features work.
What is a Locory?
A Locory is a point of interest: a specific place on the map that people may want to discover, save, or share.
Why was a Locory not approved yet?
It may need more detail, a more accurate location, or review for duplication or quality. The strongest submissions are clear, specific, and easy to verify.
What is the difference between a Locory and a Locory request?
A Locory is a place entry that belongs on the map. A Locory request is a way to ask the community for help adding or identifying a place that still needs more information.
What is a Locory collection?
A Locory collection is a group of related places bundled together around a theme, route, area, or recommendation list.
When should I report a Locory?
Report a Locory when something is wrong, misleading, outdated, duplicate, inappropriate, or otherwise needs moderator attention.
What should I use comments for?
Comments are best for useful place-specific context such as updates, tips, or clarifications that help other users understand the Locory better.
