Sharing Waypoints

📢 - INFO

Waypoints can be shared two ways: privately to a specific StolWRX user (by email), or publicly via a link that anyone can open. This page covers both.

Sharing Privately With a User

When you want to hand-deliver a strip to a friend who's also on StolWRX:

  1. Hover (or tap) a waypoint on the map to bring up the Runway Wheel HUD.
  2. Click the Share button on the HUD.
  3. In the share dialog, type the recipient's email address and send.

Once accepted, the waypoint appears in the recipient's waypoints panel marked as "shared by" you. They can use it in the flight-path measure tool and see its runway pair on the map, but they can't edit, re-share, or delete it.

You can revoke a private share from the share dialog or by re-opening the waypoint's share list.

Bulk Sharing Privately

Select multiple owned waypoints in the waypoints panel and click Bulk share. The share dialog opens with the selection pre-loaded so you can share a whole region of strips in one action.

Sharing Publicly

Public waypoint links are useful for a website, forum post, or fly-in announcement where you want anyone to be able to open the list in StolWRX without signing up.

When you share a flight publicly (see Sharing Flights), any waypoints you explicitly attach to the share travel with the flight token. The recipient sees them on the map alongside the flight.

Standalone public waypoint pages (a share link to a waypoint without a flight) are not yet enabled — the current recommended flow is to generate a short "teaser" flight that visits the strip(s) and share that.

Requirements

  • Paid plan — only subscribers can share (private or public).
  • Ownership — you can only share waypoints you created. Waypoints that were shared to you cannot be re-shared onward.

Revoking

Open the waypoint's share dialog to see everyone it's currently shared with. Remove a user or revoke a public link from there; the change takes effect immediately on the recipient's next page load.

What Recipients See

A user who receives a privately-shared waypoint gets it silently added to their waypoints panel. Their map shows the pin with the same info pill as if it were their own waypoint, but:

  • No runway wheel edits.
  • No delete.
  • A Users icon next to the name indicates it's a shared point.

See Waypoints for more on how shared waypoints mix with your own.
