Finding things

Use the search field to find places, boats and users using keywords. You can search for:

• Places, boats and users by name
• Services offered on Boat Service markers (e.g. Mechanic, Rigger, Carpenter, etc.)
• Skills that a user has listed in their profile page

Filters are a powerful way to find things on the noforeignland map. Use filters to temporarily hide the markers you are not interested in and to focus on what matters to you.

You can filter by:

• Place marker type (e.g. show Marinas and Anchorages only).
• Your Favorites (e.g. Show friends boats, or places you have saved only).

Details are explained in this article:

If you belong to a boat group, then look for the filter button on the group page. Filtering a boat group causes the map to only show where other members’ boat are.

For example: you could filter the Kids4Sail group to quickly find other boats with kids on board - read these articles to find out more:

In the noforeignland app, tap the filter icon in the search bar to apply a quick filter to:

• Only show certain types of places
• Only show things you’ve saved in your Favorites
• Only show boats you are Following
• Only show boats that have recently moved or reported their location
• Only show community posts
• Jump to the Advanced filter settings

On the noforeignland website, the filter button is located at the side of the map.

Open the Map Filters page to filter the boats and places shown.

When filters are active, a warning message is overlaid on the map. Tap the close icon on the warning to reset the filters.
