Sharing route change
Quote from Maercker on 16.04.2021, 08:21I Have been using Scenic for a few years.
Here are a couple of small changes or should I say go back to old way of sharing and why in my opinion.
Previously I could share a ride by texting link to someone. Then they could click on text and it would allow them to open it into the app directly. Also the premium feature was to share a ride not import a ride which I am subscribed to.
Reason: I have done group rides in which we would have 12 or more bikes and some where a stop light or car at intersection would break up the ride. So it was nice to have 3 or 4 bikes running the routes so someone would have the next turn to catch up.
So I could introduce the Scenic app to bikers and have them load the route onto their phone. I did get several people to use app and it was much easier than sharing the Garmin routes. Well I had a 2 year break from leading rides (moved and built house) and have started doing rides for a new Church group and went to share the app like I used to do and it didn't work with the new version it would take them to web page and they would have to crate account etc what a pain. So I played with it using my wife's phone and found a way to do it phone to phone but it requires premium subscription to Import!! Not good way to increase users by sharing on rides. It is important for me to be able to share ride easily with others. Therefore even though I love the app other wise I might have to find another app so it can be shared quickly and easily.

Please see my response here. I hope I understood correctly and this helps/explains further. If not, please let me know.
- The old way of sharing still exists. Use the ‘Export GPX’ button in stead of the ‘Share’ button.
- if you use the ‘Share’ button, Scenic users can use the ‘Add to Scenic’ button on that page. Non-Scenic users can use the ‘Download GPX’ button on that page.
- Import has always been a premium feature, since the beginning. It was never free. Users get 20 free credits though, which can be used for the import feature.
Best regards,
Guido
