What is a DLC pack? HGVDriver.com's private map layers explained
DLC packs are private layers on the HGVDriver map, unlocked with a code, so teams can share pins only their own drivers can see.

Gamers know DLC as extra content you add to a game. HGVDriver.com's DLC packs borrow the idea: a private layer of extra locations you add to your map with a code.
How it works
A DLC pack is a set of pins only its members can see. The owner shares a code; drivers enter it and the pins appear on their map, toggled from the DLC button next to the usual filters. Nobody without the code can see them — the site enforces that at the database level, not just on screen.
Who makes them
Drivers can create their own pack once they reach level 5 on the site. Pack owners can invite collaborators to add and edit locations, while settings and members stay under the owner's control.
Free community packs
Packs don't have to be secret. Owners can tick "Share with the community DLC", and any driver can add those shared packs to their list for free. It's a simple way for a group of mates to pool their favourite spots — or for a regular route to get its own cheat sheet.
