Sharing activities?
-
Needing to figure out sharing for a summer competition:
- Is the only way to share a .GPX file by creating a route?
- I can’t locate the “share activity” option (e.g. to generate a link and share it with somebody) in the app – Online guides make it sound as though if I click the activity, the “share” will appear on top of the picture of the route, and this does not happen.
Suggestions? I am on an iPhone.

@mvb_runs you can download the FIT file and convert it to GPX and then send that file to the people you need to.
And on Android there is a share button on every route, can’t believe there is no share at all on iOS.

@mvb_runs Re (2): from my quick check, the iOS app doesn’t show the “Share” button (or “Share activity”) if started without an internet connection. Could that be your trouble?
-
just checked on IOS, if you open /tap on the activity, you should see a photo icon and next to is on the right the Share icon.
You will be able to send a link for your friend.

@skdenes @mvb_runs (not me - but thanks) has the issue. I saw what you see until I tried starting the app offline. Then … no Share button (and no map), just the Add photo on its lonesome.
Try it: it will be interesting if you still get the Share button after force-quitting the app and restarting, all offline.

if I swith off the Wifi and other stuffs to be offline, there is only 1 icon, adding photo

@skdenes Yup. Makes a kind of sense, if I understand it correctly. The app requests a URL from the server generating & holding the GPX. No server link = no URL to share = no (point in displaying a) Share button?
