Different map versions on different phones?
Quote from Deleted user on 12.01.2022, 06:21Hi Guido
I have got Scenic installed on 2 iphones, a 6 and an SE. Due to the iOS version, the 6 has not updated to Scenic 3.
I've noticed it still uses the original maps (or at least it says it is) and they definitely look different when viewed side by side, plus I have available some of the smaller trail roads that are missing in Here maps.
Is this a legacy "bonus" of using the older Scenic, or if i were to install it on another iphone 6 would the newly downloaded maps be the Here ones?
Thank you for creating this fantastic app.

For example my old phone cost me £20 as the sim card doesn't work, but I just wifi hotspot it to my main phone in my pocket.
Personally the switch from wheel menu to bar wasn't a dealbreaker for me, but I don't ride much over winter anyway so I'm looking forward to putting V3 to a lot more use as we move toward spring. But having the old version to fall back to if necessary on the older phone is a nice security blanket.
