Iphone settings - localisation
Quote from uwe59 on 16.08.2023, 02:54Hi Guido!
I am (up to now) on the free plan.
When using Scenic just for tracking, do I have to have the security settings on IOS to ALWAYS or would
it be enough with "when using the app"
The reason is, what will happen, when I use on my Iphone other apps while tracking, will the tracking stop?Thanks, Uwe

Then I went to my no-sim "navigation-only" phone (same model and OS as my "regular" phone)... and I find that Scenic doesn't exist at all in the Settings' list of apps. So I can't check it, or change it...
Maybe because I don't have a activated sim card? I don't know... two other mapping apps are listed there...

Quote from Guido on 16.08.2023, 18:08I have seen this happening myself too. I don’t know what is causing this to be honest. It has to be some kind of bug in iOS. I found that sometimes it helps removing Scenic and redownloading from the App Store. I say sometimes because it seems to be a bit random. Sorry I can’t be of more help in this. Same device, same OS, same Scenic version (I assume), different result…

Quote from mattsz on 16.08.2023, 18:37Hmm... I tried this, no change... except I have to re-download all my offline maps, and all my in-app settings I've changed and customized are gone. Disappointing...
Is there a way to transfer app settings and map styles? These aren't remembered between devices when I log in?

Setting a don’t sync indeed. Partially because some would want different settings on one device than another.

Guido, we're posting at the same time!
I discovered map styles do sync automatically. Agreed that some might want different devices to have different settings. Too bad it couldn't be a user option - click a button and sync all settings... then make changes if you like. But I can see problems... with different settings on different devices, how would you know which one to sync to?
It only took me a couple of minutes to get my nav phone settings back where I want them...
