Older Android versions
-
Wonderful to see the 5.0 version released. But what Android versions are supported?
I am hesitant to use my expensive new smartphone as navigation on my motorbike. I have an older smartphone that is still working fine for that purpose, but it has Android 9 (and can't be updated). In 5.0 the 'Routes & Tracklogs' menu item gives a map on the screen but you can't do anything anymore but go back. Any chance that this can be fixed?

~ Gijs Jonker, Westland@Gijs-Jonker, that's probably related to this issue, we see on older Android versions indeed:

Thanks for the quick response! It looks a bit like the other issue but not exactly.
From the main menu everything works fine except two menu items: Routes & Tracklogs and Activity Feed. They both give the map on the full screen (portrait and landscape mode) and nothing is possible anymore, no scrolling, absolutely nothing. Only the Android back button goes back indeed and everything else seems to work.
I have 3 Android 9 devices and they all react the same; device reboot doesn't help. On Android 11 all the (main) menu items work as expected. -
I expect a fix rather soon for that issue!

Unfortunately the v5.0.1 release hasn't resolved the (Android 9) issue I mentioned.

Have you tried each of the new "advanced" settings in the map layer settings?

I believe they need to find a solution. It's not acceptable to have to buy a new phone running Android 15 or later just for the application to work correctly. As I understand it, the issues begin with Android 14 and older versions, according to their announcement for the new release 5.0.1.

@GEORGIOS-PANTELIDIS-0 I am using Blackview BV7100 running android 12 & have not seen any issues with 5.0 or 5.1, so I would expect android 13 & 14 to also be fine
