Map showing me off route in fields!
-
Map showing location off route.
On a recent trip through France the map showed me off route rather than following it. It had me riding through fields when I was actually on the road and trying to follow the route. I stopped turned phone 9off/on restarted app to no avail. I checked Apple Maps to make sure it wasn’t the gps in the phone not working but that showed me in the correct place.
I have screenshots but can’t seem to attach them.

I'm in France now with my camper and have had this problem every day I use MRA. At the start theree is no problem but then suddenly the showed position is flying over the map. The problem occurs both on my Android tablet and on my IPhone but not always at the same time. I use always use both now as a backup for eachother. Navigation instructions continue without any problems. Clicking on the compass does not help. It is very frustrating because I already missed the correct roads a number of times and with a camper it's not always easy to turn.

Offline / Online...
It might have been like that once, but it's cleared up if you press the compass briefly.

Okay, ich hatte das Problem gar nicht bin aber glaube ich die meiste Zeit Offline gefahren da oben auf dem Nassfeldpass kaum Netz war , und habe es dann wohl auch für die restliche Zeit Gardasee und Rückweg so gemacht weil es für mir besser ging, es kommen dann auch keine Meldungen mehr. Offline / Online..
Einmal wars vielleicht so, klärt sich aber wenn man einmal kurz auf dem Kompass drückt

@Michael-Rhys I’ve just spent 10 days around Germany, Switzerland and Austria and have had exactly the same problem. The next turn direction and distances were correct but the position on the map was often not on a road and sometimes the map was a blank screen altogether.

Me too often got those blank maps regularly on multiple locations and days. Usually first I got what is seen in the video below, and if I let it struggle some time it changed into the blank map.

Restarting the the route seems too kill the frantic problem, for a while.

After restarting the problem was gone for a while. Another additional point is that the app now uses a lot of power more than it can charge, later I switched to offline and I could continue with that, slowly charges.

Ab Nassfeldpass dann zum Gardasee und ab da zurück bis Münster war ich wohl immer Offline unterwegs
Hoffe dein Urlaub war eine Erholsame Route

Have you already noticed the problem? It seems to occur online. I couldn't find it offline.
Hope your vacation was a relaxing one
From Nassfeldpass to Lake Garda and from there back to Münster I was probably always offline

Back from vacation soon
We’ve got the issue noted and will investigate! -

Ist das ein Carplay Gerät, wo du es aufgenommen hast
bei meinem Handy im Offline kenne ich sowas nicht.Probiere mal das ganze bei Offline lieber Con, Du weißt doch dabei sparste dann auch noch Akku
Is that a Carplay device where you recorded it? I don't know of any such thing on my phone when it's offline.
Try it offline dear Con, you know you'll save battery that way

Fact is that on the same hardware this problem was not there before. Besides this, I have never seen any behaviour like this in gMaps, which I use regularly too. So my guess still is a software problem.

If the mode is always north or the zoomed out mode things seem fine. If the mode is the one that auto zooms in then it is a disaster. I have screen shits from the 3 different modes will upload them when I return home I am still on my tour. But after 2300miles I have to say that the auto zoom mode works less than 30pct of the time. You really need to resolve this before pushing the beta to production.
