Online maps and downloaded maps?
Quote from Mattmch on 10.06.2025, 09:49Hi i've been using the app for about 6 months and love it!!!
i'm just trying to get my head round Online maps and downloaded maps?
So i was out at the weekend test a new Carpuride w702bs on new R1300 GSA and at one point the road was closed and i had to divert..
the maps then went haywire just randomly moving like it could not find me.
this only stop when i stopped 3/4 miles later and i jumped out of the app and restarted
so couple of questions ?
I have downloaded my maps . but not updated them for a while. Does scenic automatically jump to downloaded maps when losses GPS signal ?
also when i started the App again i had to start my route which i had planned on the App and it wanted me to go back to the beginning and did not go from where i was ?
Sorry for the long one. i have read many but just cant my answer

Regarding offline maps: Scenic always uses offline maps if they are available on your device. Even if they are not the most recent versions. If Scenic needs to recalculate your route while riding, it first tries if it can do this with the offline maps on your device. If it can't because you don't have all the regions installed that the route needs, then it will try online calculation.
Your GPS signal has nothing to do with that. It shouldn't loose GPS signal, unless:
- you are inside
- your iphone is in a (metal) box
- you are riding through heavy forrest and leeves have a lot of raindrops on them (water and metal can distort GPS signal)
- between high mountains or high buildings

I'm not sure if it's the same you're seeing - but in my case switching to another app and then back to scenic in carplay makes it work properly again. (no app restart necessary)

I don't understand the difference between Online and Offline maps. Is it to use scenic when there's no network? And I don't know how to download them in my iPhone.
Thank you.

Indeed they are used to make it possible to see maps and do route recalculations in areas where there is no cell phone signal.

If I lose the network for maybe 30 minutes on a road, will I still have the directions or I have to do something like restart or...?
Thank you.
