Hi Eric, I recently tried sharing a Sherpa route link with a friend, who told me “it didn’t work”, assumed the link was duff, and gave up…

I suspected the massive “Sherpa-map” dialog box was the issue, fully obscuring the map/route behind it, and sure enough it was - I really suggest you make a change to hide that box for anyone accessing a shared link as you indicated you might. People tend to give these things one chance, and if it doesn’t appear to work first time they just move on.

There was another issue also: for my friend (but not for me), when they clicked the shared route link on Mobile they also saw a regular browser error dialog in front of the massive “Sherpa-map” dialog, with error text something akin to “error in map data” - can’t remember exactly. They showed me this, and I was able to dismiss the error dialog, then touched to the side of the Sherpa-map dialog (dismissing that also), and the route was shown correctly, but they never got that far…
So, a couple of points of friction there; just one point of friction sharing ride routes with other people renders it unviable as an option, which is a shame!
