How to use it:
When you go into the IRI Atlas, you may click on any track. Thereafter, you may zoom into the specific location that you believe is of interest. Click -> Add Fan Spot. The Fan Spot is added, and a Blog is
simultaneously created linked to that Fan Spot. During this introductory phase, you may see Fan Spots only within the IRI Atlas and the Forum section (when the Fan Spot is posted). There will be several en
hancements and modifications in the coming days/weeks. Eventually, Fan Spots will be visible along with the Train Routes (in the Train page) as well as the Station pages, Chains, etc.
.
The feature is open to all users to try it out. Fan Spots take both pictures and video attachments. There will be some bugs, but these will be fixed in the coming days.
