I want to be able to share a several flyovers to non Strava users.  In the android app Flyover is being offered as a choice when I hit the share activity button. So map visibly is being set correctly, otherwise the option will not show.

When a recipient tries to open my shared link they get the message - “This activity could not be found. It was either deleted or is private.” If I open it the link when logged in to my account it works.

 

I am puzzled by the inconsistent instructions in this forum, in the Strava help and elsewhere describing what is needed to get this to work.    Yesterday I was seeing my shared Flyovers open for others without Strava accounts even with Individual activity visibility = Followers. Instructions say this should not work but it did.

I have set 

Activity Permissions

  • Individual activity visibility = Everyone.
  • map visibility = Everyone

General Permission

  • Profile page = Followers
  • Activities = Followers
  • Flybys = everyone

Do I really have to open my entire account to everyone?  Setting my Profile Page and Activities = everyone to get this to work?  If so, that is a poor trade-off and I would never share a flyby.
