Mapshare Mobile Version - Why no routes shown on this view ?

Just seeing if anyone may know why a routes do not show on the mobile version of MapShare. I've noticed that, when the routes are clicked as being visible on Mapshare they are not visible on the mobile version. If I go down and change it to the Desktop version, the route is shown. The mobile version just shows the tracking points but not the actual planned route. Thought I might have missed a setting somewhere. If I can't figure it out, I'll just have to direct people tracking me to click the web version to see the planned route.

Thanks in advance -

I did not know there was a mobile version. How do you access the mobile version? I get the same version as the desktop when I access it with my android phone or tablet.

You probably have no control on the initial view. It's going to depend on the browser information (user agent string) returned by the device browser and maybe on the device screen size/resolution. If you do get the mobile version, the option to revert to the desktop view appears under the circle-I icon in the lower right corner (at least on an iPhone).

I see the same thing! My waypoints are showing on the initial/staring mobile view (Android) but not the route. When I switch to desktop, then the route appears but it's clunky and the initial sidebar blocks the map which creates a second confusing set of instructions for viewers.

Same issue, any solutions?

I have the same issue. Android and Apple phones don't show my routes.

My android shows it after changing to Desktop mode.

Add one more to the list for tripping on this issue. My shared course clearly shows on the desktop version of MapShare, but my mobile phone (android) defaults to a mobile version of MapShare and does not show the course. If I force it to switch to the desktop version, the course is there.

in Chrome and Firefox ... On my Android ... both mobile and desktop mode is not showing my tracks... I have not tried to show routes .. like its only currently showing a blue dot on current location... but in Desktop I can see the collection of tracks that I have shared .. properly .. I cannot reconcile this even using desktop mode on multiple devices.

Two things.

In the left sidebar, be sure that the eyeball icon on the row with your user ID is NOT slashed. If it is, click it. This is probably not the problem if you can see the triangular blue "head pointer".

On the map itself, look for the triangular head pointer. Attached to it, you will see a small white circle with a + or - in it. If it currently shows plus, click it to show the tracks.

This is most likely due to a filter that has been set on your page. Tracks Not Showing in MapShare or Garmin Explore Website
