Updated beta! v4.3.0 - 330 (project sync)

[Hubert Thoring]

@Peter-Schiefer
You have to synchronize separately on each device that now seems to replace the download for you as a user. I have now read it again in Corjan's first announcement of V4.3.0

• synchronized = save on the internal memory of the mobile phone / iPad / tablet

• synchronized = only works with your own routes ... (Track ?)

• Download/ only for "foreign files" such as routes e.g. from a group

Again my concern, when I create the new route on the iPad, where is the folder of this file for transfer to e.g. a Garmin with Garmin drive.

The confusion starts with people considering the synct routes to be files. They are not. It is a database that contains your routes. The are exported as files once you export them.

@Con-Hennekens when I change a route in the web planner I get a message on my phone that a route was synchronised So I guess it works fine

The roundabout problem has returned with the Topographic map. The first exit should be in a SW direction.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Peter-Schiefer I think the beauty of it all is that no matter where you change something in one of your routes it gets synchronised everywhere. Meaning in the web version, on your phone iPad of whatever. So it doesn't matter in witch device you made an alteration
Life is getting simple

And it even tracks merge issues if it so happens you made changes to the same route at the same time without having the route being sync'd before either one of your changes...

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Nick-Carthew The fact that I see a "2" in the next instruction with another heading shows that it is working as intended.
Might just be an issue with this roundabout? Not sure if you drive that one more often

@Peter-Schiefer said in Updated beta! v4.3.0 - 330 (project sync):

In a common understanding this means, I can store what the database in the Web calculate in another format I wish and the problem here, in a folder which I want.

I can see where you're heading with this, BUT, the synced routes, are not stored on your phone as file formats such as the ones you mention. Instead one, or multiple files in a fileformat that the app understands is used. This file (and it's format) or set of files is not of any use to you, nor should you be interested into it by any means

If you decided to export one of your synced files, the exported file is created by the app in the format you selected.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Stefan-Hummelink Why on earth would you want to change the same route at the same time on two different divices, that beats me

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Marinus-van-Deudekom If you are offline in the app (no internet, on vacation) and save it, it cannot be uploaded.
Whenever you open the website and make another change to the route, that is saved immediately.

When opening the app, that route is modified both in the app and in the website.
You need to decide which one to keep.

It's not a realistic scenario of happening by choice.
But it can happen due to circumstances.
Be happy we thought about it

So far, all other roundabouts have been correct.

[Stefan Hummelink]

@Marinus-van-Deudekom You wont', at least not on purpose! MRA thought of this rare scenario, and provides you with a means of recovering at least some of your work haha.

[Stefan Hummelink]

@Peter-Schiefer My bad peter, I had to look back into the thread to find your original problem mention to better understand your root cause issue.

From what I understand your issue is that MRA does not let us pick the folder into which we want to save the file which you want to export, either pdf, gpx 1.1 or whatsoever. Indeed, on Android, we cannot do that either, BUT on Android, at least on my phone, these files always end up in the Downloads folder.

That being said, I have not ever encountered an Android app that has allowed me to pick the folder where to save a file to. It simply has been hide & seek more often before and therefore I was not really aware of it. If however on iOS no 'default' folder is used, something may be off.

Sorry Con, sometimes I got the impression you do not rearly read what poeple wrote.

Sorry Peter, but usually people write something that others can understand.
I was responding to this:

When you create a new route there is no file. There is only a bunch of database entries. If your question was where after the export of a GPX the actual file resides (apparently that is what you mean), that would be the OS its default downloads folder. But that is a bit off-topic in a thread about the new sync feature.

What's in the 331 update @Corjan-Meijerink?

Yes, the next instruction and all other roundabout instructions were correct. I pass this roundabout regularly and it has never been a problem before. I’ll check it next time that I pass it.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@CD130 not much A small typo and tweaks for release!

[Stanisław]

@Corjan-Meijerink What is a limitation for routes synchro? I have an error "Error: local database is full". What's strange on one phone (not used for navigation but registered for beta version) it went correctly, it is an iphone 15. On older two phones (beta version and stable one) this error appears, on each of them. I have more then 700 routes, all marked for synchro (for testing purpose).

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Stanisław There is no hard limit. Depends on amount of routes and the length of it.

Please contact support, mention me / this thread and include your logs (long press version number in profile page)
There is no real solution (besides not downloading everything). We knew that upon release this would happen to some users. No one in beta exceeded the limit yet Our max we tested was 2000 routes without issues. But then again, length is a factor.

See this one too: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/7752/synchronization-in-the-latest-app-update-a-problem

[Stanisław]

@Corjan-Meijerink I can of course switch it off for a whole library but it can appear someday in the future so maybe should be investigated. Could you remind me how to generate the log from our app (on IOs)?
