Planning and recording walks
Can I walk a route someone sent me?
Short answer
Yes. If someone shares a Walkable route with you, opening their link or scanning their code loads the route into your app, ready to start. It arrives as a route to walk — nothing about the person who sent it comes with it.

What arrives
The shape of the walk: the path, its distance and the turns along it. That is all a shared route contains.
What does not
Nothing about the sender. No history, no statistics, no identity, no photos. A shared route is a shape, not a person's walking life.
