Group Maps are the primary way to leverage Relola to showcase what you care about. Create a Group Map for anything, from your favorite hiking trails to your volunteer group to your employee team to your customer/follower/fan experience -- and then invite your contacts to join Relola and add to it.

If you can see the group's map and if there is an "Add Post" button on the map, you can join the group by clicking "Add Post."

Or, to join any group, you can ask an Administrator of that group to send you an invitation.

Using the web browser version of Relola (optimized for computer, not mobile device):

• Click "My Groups" https://www.relola.com/homebase/groups
• Click "Create a group" in the upper right corner
• Submit the relevant information and your group will be created immediately
