Switching to offline with a very poor internet connection
-
Re: offlineHello,
Version 4.3.7
Pixel 9 Pro XL
Android Auto via cable in bz4X
Navigation works fine until:
I drive 500 metres apart into a forest to do what old men have to do after drinking coffee.
Smartphone stays in the vehicle.
The vehicle remains activated, in the past you would have said: the ignition remains switched on.
I then return to the route, which is now displayed in white.
There are driving instructions that do not match the visible route.
The reason is that the next waypoint, which is over 30 kilometres away, was skipped.
Then stop and select the original waypoint, which now works quite simply compared to previous versions.
Route is recalculated, although I am on it, is ok.
Remedy: Route calculation failed.
Cause: LTE with poor reception instead of G5, as can occur in the Weser mountains.
The smartphone reports that it is online, but the connection is obviously so poor that the calculation fails.
Lots of fiddling with AA and finally with the smartphone itself. Manual switch to offline.
Drive on.How about suppressing the <route calculation failed> message when offline maps are available.
And the offline maps and the offline calculation are used. WITHOUT error message, at most an information.
Then the normal algorithm for activating online mode can run.Looking forward to your feedback

@Rainer-Treichel, the offline maps are being used, whether you enabled offline Navigation or not. That option only tells whether the route calculations are done online (with traffic info if enabled) or offline (without traffic info no matter what). If you stop (for whatever you do in the forest) you should stop navigation. You can resume before you drive off again. Personally, I have a habit of keeping the route going too, but at least I also have a habit of checking the route before I drive off again
