Before the shoot

A pin is not permission.

Check access, hours, signs, traffic, and property rules when you arrive. A location appearing in Idle does not make every parking space or angle available to use.

01

Find spots

Compare the backdrop before making the drive.

  • Browse approved spots for car photos or scouting near your discovery area.
  • Review the name, tags, rating, distance, and photos when they are available.
  • Open directions if you decide to go, then confirm the location works before shooting.
02

Recommend spots

Recommend what another driver would need to know.

  • Include a clear name, location or city, useful tags, and an optional photo.
  • New submissions may need review before they appear broadly in Idle.
  • If location services are not the right path, enter the location manually where the app allows it.
03

Rate approved spots

Rate the place you actually visited.

  • Rate approved spots when they are available to you.
  • Add a photo when it helps show the backdrop or current conditions.
  • Follow local rules, respect private property, and avoid unsafe behavior when visiting or recommending a spot.
