V5.0.0 : map remain on screen, hiding menu

[white.mouse]

Yesterday, while updating the offline maps, I somehow ended up in this situation too. After many attempts, I managed to get back to the configuration screen by using the "back" button on the phone.
So you're not the only one!

@Forest, is this easily repeatable? I have been moving menus a lot lately ( ) but have not seen this at all. Can you please reboot your phone and see if it comes back? In the past, with earlier versions also, I have seen some quite strange things after updating a running app. This might be one like that perhaps.

@ Con Hennekens, easily repeatable ? YES it comes each time I press the top left button (see video).
Of course several reboots of my phone have been done, same behaviour.
I also download MyRouteApp to the LG30 (also Android 9) of my wife, same reaction.
Not tested to deinstall ans reinstall the App from my phone but as I tested on my wife's one with no success, I think it is not a hope.

What happens when you use the "back" button on the bottom line right on you phone. In my case it brought me back to the correct screen! I tried to reproduce but did not succeed!

On my Blackview BV9600 Pro, which worked perfectly with the previous version, I'm experiencing the same issue as Forest. When I press my profile icon, the map always stays on top, obscuring the menus.

@white.house Same as you.
Pressing the "back" button bring me back to the menu I came from (map of current location, menu, choice of layout ... ).
When I press the 'menu' button (top right) the screen shows a map (that's wrong) but the list of options are valid under the map and sometime I can select an option (e.g location), option hiden by the map ! and go back with the 'back' button.

@lluis-Castells I tried to recreate the issue on my blackview by7100 & could not get it to happen

as a matter of curiosity if you go into the android settings & turn off the "navigation" buttons, so remove the back/home button panel & enable gestures, what happens?

[Con Hennekens]

I took out an older phone with Android 10, and it seems to have a similar problem. One of the other Alpha testers experienced it also after pulling out an old phone with Android 9. So it seems to depend on older Android versions. I think action has already been taken by devs.

My Android version is 12 and my phone is a Samsung S10e!

[Corjan Meijerink]

We are indeed working on it

[lluis Castells]

Thanks for the suggestion. It does exactly the same thing.

[Forest]

Menu button (top right of the screen) is not the only choice to get this effect.
In the list at the bottom there are 7 possible choices but only one freezes the screen.

If it can help.

[Corjan Meijerink]

I am pretty sure this is has been resolved!
Update 5.0.1 will provide the solution.

We will test it now internally and roll out a beta as soon as possible.
Also trying to resolve the "disappearing keyboard" issue

[Corjan Meijerink]

Fixed in 5.0.1
Expecting release early next week.
In beta tomorrow probably.

[Forest]

5.0.1 downloaded.
Seem (I am careful) to solve the issue.
I can finally access to the navigation.
Many thanks to everyone involved in the fix.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Forest great!

Otherwise on the home screen tap the map layer icon > scroll all the way down > open the advanced settings.

You can then change the map configuration to help you in solving any issues. This setting is only available on older Androids.

[lluis Castells]

Problem solved on my BV9600 Pro with update 5.0.1. Thanks

501 433 gives on samsung active 2 and samsung S8 no solution. I think both android 9. on my main navigation phone ulefone x10 with android 11 it works ok. did use setting in map layers and virtual display and it seems to fix it for active 2

Samsung Galaxy running Android 9.

I am experiencing similar problems.

I want to use the device as a spare for a planned trip to South America next month (for two months).

Loaded MyRouteApp, opens fine but when I go to Routes and Tracks, I get a map.

If I turn the screen sideways, I can see half of the menus which should be displayed below hence I think this is a display issue.

I cannot really get any further - I intended to download maps for S.America to the device and use these off-line but cannot even get to the settings menu.

My current phone running the latest software works fine but I don't want to risk this a my prime device for the trip (hence the old Samsung).

has compatibility with older Android versions been resolved?

thank you in anticipation

[Nick Dawson]

I would upload a video but do not have enough privileges.

Essentially the map doesn't disappear so the menu options are not available.

This is using the navigation part of the software.

The MyRouteApp section to edit and create routes appears to work fine.

Hope the above helps.
