LAUNCH: upgrade waypoint menu

[Jack van Tilburg]

I believe I once read that MRA has 300,000 users. And then it is quite sad that a bug is caused when a new function is introduced. Good pre-testing should prevent this. If things still go wrong, a decision must be taken quickly for a Roll-Back. Because, as mentioned, a large user base that is potentially duped.

Saw the annct for the new Waypoint launch and was able to update my route with the new symbols before they went away.
LOVED IT! No issues, except the Gas icon seemed broken.

Apologies for the last minute ask, but would it be possible to add a 'Hotel' icon?
Thanks!

LOVE using the app on my Win10 computer. Then 'Save as' a gpx 1.1 file.
Transfers flawlessly to my Gold Wing nav system.

Update Monday 9 PM:
Originally this thread was dedicated to celebrating the release of the new Waypoint menu and the fact that we finally managed to meet a deadline. Sadly, it appears that the waypoint menu was causing some unacceptable issues for some members. After developer Corjan spent all day working on fixing these bugs; we finally decided that at 9PM tonight (without any dinner) that pulling the update back until tomorrow morning would be for the best. We're all going to get some shut-eye here and see if we can resolve this in the morning and then quickly wipe any mention of it under the rug.

Our working technical theory is that it isn't the waypoint menu update itself that is causing these issues. Neither is it the add-photos feature or any of the bugfixings we tied onto the update. It's everything together, that is apparently highlighting a more underlying technical flaw that's to do with resource management of your device/system. Put bluntly: older, slower, systems suffer while newer, faster, systems do not. This is also the prime reason why this didn't happen on any system of MRA staff. The problem also didn't show up during the testing phase of this fix, which is strange as well.

The milestone project for tomorrow will be to fix and resolve this underlying problem and trying to get a testing system that qualifies as "old and slow" to verify our fix. As the day progresses, I'll keep you personally updated through this thread.

Thanks for your time and understanding. If you see Murphy, please do give him a kick on my behalf.

Yours sincerely,

Timo Martosatiman
Chief Operating Officer
