I lost all maps

Guido, before leaving on a long ride I downloaded all offline maps for the states I’ll be in onto my iPhone. Suddenly all maps are gone and the app tells me it can’t download them because I have no internet even when I do. Also I see no local map when it asks me “where to?” HELP

Are you on the new version v3.5? This was released begon February. You can see your version number at the bottom of Settings. Download the latest version in the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1089668246

I am on v3.58

When I try to download offline maps it says:

The operation couldn’t be completed. (heresdk.MapLoaderError error 8.)

OK. Very strange. Did not receive other reports so far. MapLoaderError 8 means "network connection error".

Most common reason why this can happen is VPN.  If you are running a VPN, try disabling it. More common causes here: https://scenic.app/help/map-update-stuck-not-loading/

In any case it's strange that your maps were removed (unless you updated from a pre-3.5 version to 3.5x recently... on first launch of 3.5x your "old" offline maps are removed because they don't work with 3.5). Another reason I've heard about in the past, is that your device storage is full. If that were the case I would expect another error message, but check that too, just to be sure.

If all else fails... try removing Scenic from your device and then reinstalling through the app store.

I just double-checked. It could also mean "too many requests." I'm not sure how many regions you are trying to download at the same time. Try downloading one or two at a time to see if that works.

I’m losing faith my friend.
I tried reinstalling the app and even cleared out my history and website data before hand. No luck.
I tried turning off cellular data. No luck

when I touch offline maps it doesn’t show me any locations, it just goes to the error 8 statement

what I can’t understand is why when I go to MAP it just shows a turquoise dot with a small arrow head but no streets or anything. If I hold my finger anywhere on the field of white it provides me the address. If I try to select the address it says Insufficient offline map data and no internet connection.  Something is stopping it from even showing me the map of where I am

are you sure my account is up to date and my Premium forever status is valid at your end? My profile says it is but please check.

I just realized that if I go to a saved route it shows the pink line on a white background - no map.

From what you are describing, I’m pretty sure your device can’t connect to the HERE map servers. That’s why you don’t see any map, why you get the error when going to offline maps, and why you can’t calculate routes.

(To get the address, Scenic uses a Google API as fallback. )

It CAN connect to the Scenic server otherwise you would not have been able to login again.

Can you try switching off WiFi (only use cellular data). If it works like that it means there is some kind of security setting in your WiFi preventing the connection. Make sure that “cellular data” is enabled through the iOS Settings App > scenic, when you do that.

If not already done so, make sure that VPN is off through iOS Settings App > General > VPN & Device Management.

I have no VPN

I deleted the app and reinstalled it from the Apple store.
I turned off WiFi and made sure cellular data is on for Scenic
I signed in to my Scenic account and went to MAP - all I have is a white screen and a turquoise dot

i am using iPhone SE with iOS v17.4.1

my iPad works fine and I made sure all of my device and Scenic settings are the same  for iPad and iPhone

iPad is using Scenic v3.57  - iPhone is using Scenic v3.58 - not sure why they’re different

Is there a way for me to try to force a connection to the HERE map servers thru another app maybe

 

Hmmmm. 🤔. Really strange.

You could try the HereWeGo app. That's HERE's own app. Even if you see the maps there, the chance is small that this will help you with Scenic. Worth a shot, though.

Did you check your available storage on the iPhone?

To be honest, I don't really know what else to try anymore. Only some general things:

  • Try a complete restart of your phone.
  • If that doesn't work either you could try a "Reset Network Settings". To do this, go to iOS Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note that this will delete all your known Wifi's so you will need to re-enter passwords for every wifi you connect to.

Sorry you're having trouble, Frenchman.

Guido, if it helps: I also have an iphone SE, running iOS v17.4.1, no VPN, Scenic v3.58.  I have no issues, and in fact just downloaded updated offline maps without incident...

Thanks @mattsz. It helps me in the sense that I now have more certainty that this is not a structural problem. Doesn't solve it for @the-frenchman though. I hope the phone restart or reset network settings will help.

Agreed.  But since he and I seem to have the same combination of hardware and software... I'm following this thread, let me know if there's anything else I can look at or try...

Thanks guys for trying to help me solve this problem. I contacted HereWeGo via email and am hoping they can shed some light on this. The HereWeGo app does not work either. Same symptoms. I’ll keep you posted if they respond to my query.

Did you try a reset network settings?

Ok Guido, you’re a genius! I was afraid to Reset anything on my phone for fear that I would end up with more problems. I have an old phone that I did the Reset Network Settings on and everything looks like it’s working.
Thank you so much!

Uhh oh! The Reset Network Settings worked perfectly on an old iPhone (with no cellular service) but had no affect on my actual iPhone. It still says Insufficient offline map data and no internet connection even when I turn off cellular data while WiFi is working.

Hmmmm. I'm running out of ideas. Try some of the things in this article: https://www.avast.com/c-iphone-not-connecting-to-wifi#:~:text=The%20most%20common%20reasons%20why,to%20increase%20your%20internet%20speed.

Lots of "open doors" and obvious things but a few of them are more "surprising".
