Direct link to specific track

martin-tef commented 4 years ago

Is it feasible to implement a feature allowing to access a specific track via URL? If I want to share a track which is not the last one, I currently have to tell people the base URL and tell them what to select from the dropdown.

It would a nice feature, especially if the URL can be seen on the Android app. The use case for me will be :

I decide to start a new track. In the android app > new track. I enter the name and I have a tick box that says "Public ?"
If yes, I can see the URL on the main screen that can be shared after by SMS, mail, ...
With this URL, people can follow me.
In the app, I can decide to untick "Public?" to unshare my track.

In the Web GUI, same process is applied : Public ? with a tickbox

For the guy who click on the URL, he can access to zoom/unzoom, raster maps choice, fullscreen but the menu on the right is not present.

This can be suitable for (motor)bike roadtrips where "live" tracking can be interesting.

It would also make it easier to share a link to the current track through a user-selected application (i.e., Signal).
