Group Riding & Offline Maps
Quote from Paul_Guertin on 01.05.2022, 15:33Hi Guido
I am a premium user and have purchased/downloaded maps for several US states for a two week road trip that our group of 5 riders will be taking in July. I have encouraged all of the other riders to download Scenic for our trip. I have created all of the daily routes and shared them with my fellow riders. My question is…
If they import the routes into Scenic but do NOT have the offline maps, will the navigation behave properly for them? I would prefer to not always have to be the lead rider for our entire trip if I don’t have to. I realize that, unless they upgrade to premium, they will only have ‘follow the line’ but I’m wondering if the mapping will work properly if they haven’t purchased the maps.
Cheers!
Paul

When the route is selected for navigation, and you don t have the offline map, a corridor of map data is downloaded along the route. As long as you stay within that corridor you will be fine. If the recalculated route takes you out the corridor, it might take main roads only, or in worst case might not be able to recalculate because of missing map data. I’ve never heard about this happening though.
