Frequently asked questions
I do not receive a confirmation email.
Check your spam folder. On the confirmation page Request confirmation email again sends a new link. If that does not help, contact the administration.
Why am I signed out all the time?
Without Stay signed in the session ends after 4 hours without use. Tick the box when signing in to stay signed in for 30 days (see Account and sign-in).
I cannot see a friend's hunting ground.
You only see grounds you were invited to and whose invitation you accepted. Ask the leaseholder or co-leaseholder to invite you – at the email address of your Waidblick account.
Why can I not change the ground boundary?
Boundary, zones and ground data are changed by leaseholders and co-leaseholders only. Ground facilities (high seats etc.), on the other hand, can be added and changed by all members.
Why is there no aerial image or no land parcels?
High-resolution aerial images and land parcels come from Hesse (HVBG). Outside Hesse Waidblick uses the nationwide maps from basemap.de, which have no land parcels. Land parcels also only appear when you zoom in far enough.
Does Waidblick work without a signal?
Yes – if you have saved the ground offline beforehand. Harvest, sightings, hare counts, routes, facilities and the driven hunt plan can be recorded without a signal and are sent later. See Out in the field without a signal.
My location is not sent while the phone is locked.
In the browser Waidblick only sends your location while the app is open. For background location set up OwnTracks (see Share location).
Who sees my location and my routes?
A shared location is visible to the members of the ground – and on the hunt day to the hunt leader. Recorded routes are visible only to you. Shared guest positions are deleted after 24 hours.
A guest has lost their personal driven hunt link.
In the driven hunt under Participants the link symbol copies the guest's personal link so you can send it again. Alternatively Notify participants emails all guests their link.
A button is greyed out.
If license checks are switched on, the feature is not included in the ground's plan. Clicking it explains what to do; the main leaseholder finds details under Manage hunting ground › License. Some features also need an internet connection.
How do I change language or appearance?
In the user menu (click your name; on the smartphone under More), under Appearance and Language.
