Share with QR code

[devemux86]

THAT would be a dream! if you could transfer the toures and the settings via a QR code.
We drive in small groups, or in the large group - only 2-3 people with Navigation in operation. We all have 6.5" . . . 6.8" Samsung mobile phones - one setting would always fit.
Saving a default setting with QR code . . . that would be very, very nice.

@SF4User thanks for the interesting idea!

Using QR codes to share routes, favorites, profiles can make the life of users easier,
without the difficulty of transferring files.

The idea is probably to synchronize 2 devices with Cruiser:

• Share something with QR code with 1st Cruiser
• Scan QR code in other device, opens 2nd Cruiser
• Both Cruiser have the same shared content

QR codes is an interesting idea, but they seem to have a small size limit.
They can not encode large data? As files with routes, favorites or profiles.

They seem more suitable for small texts, like links.

For years I have stored all relevant data of a tour in a Dropbox directory, which I make available to all participants by a link.
See my post in the Kurviger Forum from May 2021 - https://forum.kurviger.de/t/access-web-route-from-app/4925/9

So everyone has access to the current status of all routes (either in .kurviger or .gpx format). No one needs to have a Dropbox userid, a simple download will bring all data into the download directory of the smartphone - as a .zip file. Easy to edit with file manager plus. If you want to try it out - an example: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/vg47kbtgexy3sxukh8x21/h?rlkey=1ppj5cx29oqx4qnjpf43tlsyw&dl=0

Whether I have to pass on this link as QR, I dare to doubt.

Ja! Im Prinzip genau der work around, den ich/wir schon bei Kurviger#2 angewandt haben. Da habe ich meine Google Drive freigeschaltet und als Backup genutzt. Wer mit dem Daten hin- und her schubsen kein Problem hat, sehr praktikabel.
Eine Erfahrung hatten wir die Tage in Italien gemacht. Tag#1 bis Tag#4 war über die Google Drive verteilt, easy going . . . am Tag#5 mußten wir wegen Wetter unterwegs umdisponieren. Da wäre es praktisch gewesen, wenn wir im Feld eben mal plop . . . plop . . . plop einen QR-Code der Tour verteilen hätten können. Wenn schon das Gewitter aufzieht, dann zählt halt jede Sekunde 😳 😱.
Ist immer mal ein Kumpel dabei, der keinen Datei Manager auf dem Handy installiert hat . . . Wir reden über ein Komfort Problem . . . 👍👍
