Share a "READ ONLY" link to my routesFORUMS HOME SEARCH FORUMS

Good morning. I have created three routes for our annual stair-climbing challenge. I would like to make it possible for participants to link to the routes on plotaroute, but I do not want them to be able to edit the route. It appears that when I use the SHARE feature, the participant will be able to do both. Perhaps I am wrong or perhaps there is another way? The race is next weekend, but if I cannot learn it for this time I would at least like to learn it for next time.

Is there a way for the runner to put the link on his mobile device?

By the way, thus far this mapping system has been far superior to those I used in years past. Thank you for that. Even for this current issue, I was at least able to create screen prints and put them into the website so that people can print and follow. BIg help!

Hi Dusty,

Thanks for your kind comments about Plotaroute - I'm glad you like it. 

You don't need to worry, nobody else will be able to make changes to your routes. If someone tries to edit a route you've shared, they would have to save it as a new route to their own account.

With regard to looking at routes on mobile devices, the link we provide to share a route will work on mobile devices too. We have a guide on how to navigate a route using our mobile app, but please bear in mind that you need a mobile internet connection is required to use this.
