New App - dissapointed

You definitely have not downloaded the offline maps if that is an issue.

Satellite maps won’t be available offline ever because that would be gigabytes of data rather than a few megabytes for the same area. That said, never thought of that so indeed a user won’t get a notification of that. Great idea to add something in that line.

Horizontal scrollable buttons are great as the most important ones are at the left and this scales well across all devices and widely used now in many apps.

The white space depends on the amount of details for the search result. Indeed, when not much available, the white space is a bit much but never felt disturbing.

Edit: scenic routes can never be calculated offline but will show a nice message if you attempt this

I've been using MRA for some years and understand offline maps and I do have them downloaded, I've raised these issues before (on FB and here) and been told that it won't plot a simple route without a data connection and offline maps are not used for that part for the app so now I'm getting mixed messages.
This is from my App (I'm now updating the minor version)

@Rob-Kelley I have never had a problem with offline maps or navigation. You can clearly see No internet in the first screenshot and no Wi-Fi or Data icons in the second screenshot.

Correct there's no wifi or data - that's why this is an issue around 'offline' mode, I can't test offline mode and be online at the same time.

Here you say A > B routes cannot be calculated when offline but you say you've never had a problem offline, you can see where the confusion is coming from.

The update is released today so forgive the community not yet knowing everything

Edit: Answers from a while ago don’t have to be relevant for this 5.0 update

Offline maps are now used throughout the entire application!

Thanks, the issue I had was the satellite imagery not being offline - which makes total sense, the roads etc are loading nicely so good to see.

@Rob-Kelley cool! If that solved it, nice.

As said, we can add a notice (which is a great idea) when being offline but you enabled satellite maps

If my phone is offline, (no wifi or data) it won't calculate a simple route, if I put the app into Offline mode when the phone does have a data conenction then it can calculate the route.
If the app detects the phone is offline, it puts itself into Offline mode, it then can't calculate the route and says it needs to be Online as per my screen shots.

@Rob-Kelley I’d recommend downloading the offline maps again or even reinstalling.

If the app cannot calculate a route in offline mode when you say you have all maps there are 2 scenarios:

• user did not download (correct / all) maps
• an internal issue with the offline maps

Have just tried in offline mode with all Internet turned off and it works flawlessly for me

I run almost every ride with off line maps! I downloaded the new version, undated my off line maps and planned my test route which I take everyday. Had no problems at all.
