Share Project: Send Your Route as a Link, Not a File

FeaturesProduct
The Share Project dialog over a planned Madeira route: expiry presets from 1 day to 2 months, a Share Project button, and Manage my shared links

You have just finished planning a route - stops chosen, water and food sorted, the tricky junctions checked - and now you want to show someone. A riding partner, a support driver, someone who just wants to see where you are headed. The usual answer is: export a file, attach it somewhere, and hope they think to open it in PitStopper rather than whatever their phone tries first.

Share Project skips that entirely. It turns your project into a link and a QR code that opens straight in a browser - no PitStopper account needed on their end, no file to find a home for.

How it works

Open Export → Share Project, pick how long the link should stay live - 1 day, 3 days, 1 week (the default), 2 weeks, 1 month or 2 months - and click through. You get a QR code and a link back in a couple of seconds. Send either one however suits: a message, an email, printed on a route sheet for the car.

Whoever opens it gets a fully independent copy of your route and points of interest, loaded straight into their own browser. It is theirs to look around, and if they want to keep it, one click saves it into their own projects. Nothing they do touches your original.

Add a note

Sometimes the route needs a line of context. When you create or update a link there is an optional note field - "Added a water stop at 40km, forecast looks wet after lunch" - and it shows up on the card the moment the link is opened. No separate message needed; the context travels with the route.

Routes change. You find one more café, move a stop, fix a junction. Normally that would mean sending a new link and hoping everyone throws the old one away. Share Project does not work that way: share the same project again and it updates the existing link in place, rather than creating a new one. Anyone who already has the link - saved, forwarded, printed - opens it and sees the latest version, no new link to chase down. The dialog tells you when this is happening, so it is never a surprise.

Private by design

The project is encrypted in your browser before anything leaves your device, using the Web Crypto built into every modern browser. The relay that stores the link only ever sees the encrypted, unreadable version - the key needed to unlock it lives in the link itself, in the part after the #, which browsers never send to a server. Neither Cloudflare, which hosts the relay, nor we can read what you share.

That does mean the link itself is effectively the key - anyone who sees it while it is live can open it, so treat it a little like a password rather than posting it somewhere public. It stays live for whatever expiry you chose, or until you revoke it early from Manage my shared links, where you can also see how many times each link has been opened. Full details are in the Privacy Policy.

Try it

Plan a route, choose Export → Share Project, and send the link to whoever needs to see it. No sign-up on their end, no file, no app - just a link that opens.
