@lepaon One more question...does Scenic have 'Always' location access?

Yes it does. After returning home i’ve got a warning on my Iphone screen telling me Scenic was using my location in the background the last 3 days. I confirmed that i still want it on always, so i’m sure.

Perfect... I'll start investigating. btw... that message is misleading. It's an iOS standard message. Scenic only uses location in the background if you are in a navigtion/tracking session.

Glad to hear about that IOS messaged. Had me worried

Similar problems with Scenic 2.2.6 on an iPhone 8 with iOS 13.4.1. Traveling though the downtown area of Sanford NC last weekend heading toward Pinehurst, the displayed route correctly showed straight ahead for at least 1/2 mile but the voice instructions said turn left, then turn right, then left, then right - all while I was going straight along the correct and displayed route. Another rider, also using Scenic with the same route experienced exactly the same problem. Total disconnect between the displayed route and the voice instructions.

Meanwhile we have arrived at Scenic version 2.2.9 so I think any voice/sound problems should mostly be resolved now.

This actually sounds like it could me more of a mapping issue than a sound issue though. I'd be happy to take a look if you could share the link to the route with me. (use share button above map preview)

  1. 2017 iphone SE, version 2.3.0 halfway after pulling te phone out of my jacket it went to edit mode. Returned to “Guide mode”

Locked the phone started and no more spoken directions. Pulled the phone out again, selected “Hervat rit”, redeemed 1 extra token and still no spoken directions.
Warnings about speed came trough and 2 odd times spoken directions.

next time i’ll try not to touch te phone when pausing.

Indeed Scenic does not give voice instructions when the ride is paused, nor when it's in edit mode. I also recommend that Scenic has 'Always' location access. In that case it won't matter if you accidentally leave the ride paused. It will auto-resume once movement is detected.

If you had to choose "Hervat Rit" and pay an additional credit (is that what you mean with redeem 1 extra token?) then it means the app crashed while your phone was in your pocket, which is more serious. That should not happen. I'll take a look at the crash reports for that. In any case I have given you some additional credits to compensate for any lost credits because of this.

Scenic was on always on mode. I’ve just checked and saw that edit mode commes on just by touching the screen, thats easy but also easy to set it in editmode without meaning to.
Next ride will be with a newer iphone (2020) to rule out calculating capacity. I hope soon butt the forecast in the low countries isn’t good the following days.

I didn’t want to use “Pay” because i got these credits for free 😁

The problem seems to be solved, thx Guido.
