Alpha/Beta testing of Android app
Quote from BigBlueMarble on 25.11.2023, 05:22ATTENTION SCENIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM:
I am a retired software product manager with 25 years experience designing, managing and testing software of all kinds...desktop, mobile device, and embedded hardware programs (e.g. medical devices). I have recently begun a 2 year exploration of South America by motorcycle. After discussions with Garmin and GaiaGPS I had planned to use those two products as my primary navigation tools. However, due to a technical incompatibility between the Garmin Zumo XT and the GPX route files exported by GaiaGPS, that combination of is no longer feasible.
I am using three devices: MacBook Pro, Samsung S22+ cell phone, and the Garmin Zumo XT. I require an app that will run on my Android phone. If your Android app is at a point in development that an alpha or beta test is possible, I would be very interestest in helping you test it as I travel around South America.
Sincerely,
Nathan Lake (currently in Chiclayo Peru)

Thanks very much for the offer. I appreciate it. We can always use experienced people while testing. Be it product managers, developers, test managers, etc.
Testing has not started yet though, but leave your email here and we’ll let you know when it does and how to get in: https://scenic.app/help/android-version/ (there is a link to a ‘interested in beta testing form’ there too) .
Enjoy South America! An amazing adventure I’m sure!
Cheers,
Guido

Use wifi or hot spot, no sim needed. I have been using for a few years and never had an issue and costs almost nothing.
