Share Card: A Vertical Summary of Your Session

· 2 min read

When you want to show a detecting buddy what happened today without screenshotting five different screens, the Share Card is a single 1080×1920 PNG image that sums the whole session up — sized perfectly for an Instagram Story, a WhatsApp status, or any vertical chat thumbnail.

What's on the Card

  • Header — SweepTrack Pro logo with the “by Loriba” subtitle
  • Session name and date — whatever you named it, or the auto-generated place label
  • Path preview — a large rendered map of your track for the session
  • Stats — Distance, Finds, Duration, and Average Speed
  • Find breakdown — color-coded chips per find type (Treasure, Gold, Coin, Relic, Jewelry, Trash) with counts
  • Weather snapshot — if a session weather sample was captured, you'll see temperature, wind, and humidity at the time
  • Footersweeptrack.pro with a deep-link to the session

How to Generate One

  1. Finish a session (or open an older one from History).
  2. Tap the Share action on the summary screen.
  3. The card is rendered as a PNG in a split second.
  4. Send it via your system share sheet — WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, email, Instagram, or anywhere else that accepts images.

Why 1080×1920

That's the standard portrait/Story aspect ratio, so the card slots cleanly into Instagram and Facebook Stories, WhatsApp Status, TikTok still posts, and any vertical phone-first context. It still works in a horizontal chat thread — just shows up as a tall thumbnail.

Tips

  • Name your sessions — a descriptive name reads much better than auto-generated coordinates.
  • Log your finds by type — the breakdown chips only show counts if you actually tagged finds.
  • Double-check privacy — the path preview shows where you walked. If you're sharing publicly, make sure you're comfortable with the route being visible.
