- Friends
What are Friends?
A Friend is someone who, like you, has a Fietsknoop account, with whom you share your own cycling and walking routes.
How to add a Friend?
Open the 'Friends' screen.
Click on the '+' symbol.
Type the name of the person you are looking for in the text box.
Answer 'yes' to the question whether you would like to invite this person and an automatic email will be sent to him or her.
After confirming the friendship, you can see each other's routes, provided they are set to share with 'Friends'.
See also the instructional video on this at www.fietsknoop.nl/videos.
- Sharing routes with Friends or everybody
You can convert a saved route from 'Do not share', to 'Friends' or 'Everybody'.
Open the route in your Routes list, and click on the archive icon on the overlay screen.
Indicate who the route is intended for and click on Save.
- Following someone on radar
Can someone follow me on radar?
Yes, but only if you give explicit permission to do so. No one can follow you without your knowledge, nor can they follow someone else without their knowledge.
What needs to be done to get someone to follow you?
Make sure you both have a Fietsknoop account with Fietsknoop[+]Plus and that you are Friends of each other (see also video about Friends).
In 'Settings', turn Radar ON.
Cycle or walk your route and turn on the GPS.
On the Radar, your location with name is visible to your Friend.
NB: it may take a while before your location is visible during the route.
