Location sharing

Choose whether your character appears on the HiNote map for other signed-in members. This is off unless you turn it on.

Show me on the map

Signed-in HiNote members can see your character and display name near your approximate area. People you have blocked, or who blocked you, never see you.

How your location is handled
  • Your exact position is never stored. It is replaced by a fixed spot inside a 500m area before it is saved, so it can't be worked back out.
  • Nobody sees a street address or a live trail — only an approximate spot.
  • If you stop using HiNote for a day, your character disappears from the map on its own.
  • Turning this off deletes the position we hold for you, immediately.
  • Your browser only asks for your location when you switch this on.
