Share Tracklog
When you save a tracklog, you have the option to share it in a nice and and an attractive way. This allows you to share not only a link to the track, but also a customizable image. For example, you can add photos from your track or display its statistics.
- Privacy: This button is shown when the tracklog is not public. If you want to share it with everyone, change the privacy setting to 'Public' here;
- Share: Click here to share the route in your preferred way once everything is ready;
- Image: This shows what your image currently looks like. You can zoom in, zoom out, and reposition the photos within the frames;
- Options: Choose how you want the image to look. If you have not added any photos, only the statistics option will be available;
- Photos: If you have added photos, you can select them here, either manually or randomly. Click Shuffle to change the order of the selected photos.
- If you have not added any photos, this option will not be shown at all.
- Map background: Choose whether you want to display the route and whether it should appear as an image or as a shape;
- Format: Adjust the image format here so it is suitable for the platform where you want to share it.
ATTENTION! This feature is only available for your own routes and tracklogs. If you want to share an existing route or tracklog in this way, do not use the Share button on the route or tracklog. Instead, choose Create image. This will open the same screen as the one shown above.
