Hi Steve,
Have a look at the following FAQ for advice on this: Why can't the mobile app detect my location?
-
Steve Capel Friday 14 Apr 2023 19:19:34
I have installed the mobile app however it is unable to access the gps. Other apps access the gps OK. Phone is a Samaung s9+ running android 10. App info on the phone says "no permissions required" and that the app is downloaded from google play, which is obviously incorrect. In Settings->Location->App permissions the app does not appear as one requesting access to location.
Any ideas please.

Unfortunately Johnny Doyle, there is no android version of ukmapapp yet.

Offine maps would probably be quite tricky for us to implement Johnny without developing a full-blown mobile app, but it is something we would like to introduce at some point if we can.

I plan all my routes on https://www.plotaroute.com/ and create a gpx file when I decide to walk the route. I then use https://ukmapapp.com/ which supports free offline maps and load in the gpx file. It is available on ios and android and costs £7.99. This is the only reliable way I have found to have a successful days walking. Offline maps are essential as many hiking routes are effectively off the grid. If Plotaroute.com supported offline maps then I would not have to resort to https://ukmapapp.com/ at all. As far as I am aware https://www.plotaroute.com/ does not suport offline maps. Do you have any plans to support offline maps in the future?

Hi, wondering if someone can kindly help with this query. I’ve created a test route and forwarded the route via email to my iPhone. When I click on the route link and try to click on the “location” arrow, bottom right hand corner it says “Unable to detect your location”? I’m really keen to be able to share my routes with friends etc and for them to be able to see where they are in relation to my plotted route so am hoping to find out why it says “Unable to detect your location”?
Many thanks in advance

Stuart - Thanks for that tip, we'll look into that. It might be something we can invest in at some point.
Martin - there is no need to do anything special to access your routes on an iPhone, just go to plotaroute.com in your mobile browser (usually Safari for an iPhone) and sign in to your account.

Thanks John.
Regarding the Garmin interface, it might be worth looking into developing a small, IQ application to run natively on the Garmin device and interface directly with plotaroute. Thus a user could open the app directly on the Garmin, receive a list of routes defined on plotaroute, select one and receive it directly down to the device. dwMap already implements something similar, but obvously not with your superior back-end capabilities!
https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/
This would remove the need to directly connect the Garmin to any sort of physical device, and would just use the native comms (i.e. wifi / BT via Garmin Connect) instead, which is much more practical for end users.
Regards,
Stuart H.
