Map update
Posted: Fri Dec 02, 2022 11:53 am
Hi.
There are on-demand maps in the application. From time to time they are updated by the developer (AlpineQuest). If the map is already installed in the app, and then it was updated on the developer's server, the map will not work (data will not be downloaded to the cache) until you click the Update Map button.
The problem is that users can not always guess (they may not know) that the map is updated on the server, and you have to press the "Update" button to update it on the device. Unfortunately, there is no visual indication of the needed update, as a result users may have problems, because the map actually stops working on the device, although it is fully functional. All that is needed is to press the button.
Is it possible to make some kind of indication that the map requires an update?
N.B.
Although I am a long-time user of this application and I know very well that I need to press the button to update, but the other day I found myself in a stupid situation – Yandex map stopped working and I did not understand why. Then I remembered that the developer had updated this map on the server at my request. I pressed the button - it all started working.
If there was some indication that the update is needed, everything would be easier, especially for less advanced users.
