AlpineQuest & OfflineMaps

Hi Alpinequest, I've been using IGN Topo on-line maps with great pleasure of some time. Recently, I'm no longer able to connect. Has something changed at the IGN end, or does it no longer work with the latest Alpnequest update, or is there some other reason? If these maps are no longer available, wh...

I have three related questions about altitude. 1. When I upload a gpx file to different sites, they give more or less the same readings for distance, but different values for altitude. Sometimes the differences are large. My files are all somewhere in France. Is there a recommended site that's norma...

Hello Contact, Yesterday I did a day hike. The real distance was about 15 kms, but the last 2.5 kms weren't recorded. The time when I stopped the location counter was correct and corresponded to the actual time. What could have happened to the last 2.5 kms? The location tracker recorded 13,200 locat...

Sorry, but I can't see how to attach a gpx file to a private message. Can you please point me in the right direction.

Many thanks.

I'm using 1.4.14, and today, I had an anomaly with the accumulated positive elevation, which showed a value that was much to high. Also, when I tried to visualize the gpx track on Mapexplorer, it wouldn't show the track, and gave the following error message: x-axis is time; may be out of sync with m...

Hi, thanks for your rapid reply. Yes, I can see the IGN map if I move it to the current position (as the instructions say!). Is there a conversion program that can add the missing map outline information? The OSM map I made for the area isn't bad, but I wanted to see what the IGN map looks like. The...

Hi, and thanks for your response. I guess it's possible that there is a problem with my phone, especially if lots of other people aren't complaining about the same rebooting problem. Nevertheless, I successfully use the phone with other gps applications, including Google Navigation, and it works fin...

As of 1.2.6, the problem was not fixed. I downloaded 1.2.7 today, but it's raining too hard to test just now.

BTW, I noticed that if the gps isn't turned on, the program behaves strangely. Why not have a message that says "Turn gps on and restart AlpineQuest"?

Two days ago, I did another hike, and although I reduced the frequency of waypoints, the phone still crashed. After the crash, I find myself looking at the screen on which I'm asked to enter my pin. Regarding the suggestion that a card can't keep up with the frequency of writes, well, I guess anythi...

I was testing my alpinequest full version to do tracks, (nexus 1, android 2.3.3, don't know how to get the alpinequest version, but it was purchased this month), and after 25 - 45 minutes, the phone suddenly reboots. The settings use the default values.

Any advice?

Regards,

Ketzie
