How to Share Routes with Friends

Sharing a route with friends is as simple as tapping Share in RouteWhiz and sending the link -- your travel companions can view the full itinerary, suggest changes, or follow along in real time.

Step 1: Open Your Saved Route

Go to the My Routes section in RouteWhiz and find the route you want to share. Make sure it is up to date with your latest edits before sharing, since collaborators will see the current version.

Step 2: Tap the Share Button

On the route detail screen, tap the Share icon. RouteWhiz generates a unique link to your route. This link gives others access to view the full map, stop list, walking directions, and estimated timings.

Step 3: Choose Your Sharing Method

RouteWhiz integrates with common sharing channels. Send the link via WhatsApp, iMessage, email, Telegram, or simply copy it to your clipboard. You can also generate a QR code that others can scan, which is handy when sharing in person.

Step 4: Set Permissions for Collaborators

Before sharing, choose the access level. View-only lets recipients see the route but not change it -- good for group leaders who want to share a finalized plan. Edit access lets collaborators add new stops, remove ones they are not interested in, and reorder the itinerary. Any changes from collaborators sync in real time.

Pro tip: For group trips, create the route collaboratively from the start. Have each person add their must-see stops, then run the optimizer to build a route everyone is happy with. It is a great way to make sure no one's favorites get left out.

If your group splits up during the day, each person can fork the shared route and customize their own version while still keeping the original as a reference.
