Recording Issue with Offline Maps

Last week, I was riding in Ladakh (northern India) and using Offline Maps (no internet) to record my routes. Initially, it worked fine, but after a while, the GPS stopped tracking and the map display went blank.

The first time, I had to stop and restart the recording. The second time, I had to force close the app and reopen it to get GPS tracking working again.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a known issue with Offline Maps or the GPS, especially in remote areas like Ladakh?

Have not heard that one before. Even if there was no map data, tracking should still continue.
It sounds as if Scenic was not receiving locations from the built in GPS receiver anymore. Maybe related to overheating of iPhone?

If you're enjoying Scenic and are happy with the support, please leave a nice rating in the App Store. It would mean a lot to me ❤️

Even though Scenic was not receiving location from built-in GPS, it should not have display blank offline maps.

This issue was not related to iPhone overheating, as the temperature was below 3°C

Is there anything I can provide to help you investigate this issue further?

OK. Definitely not overheating. Not sure where to start debugging this as I have not seen it before and woulnd't know how to reproduce it. Please let me know if you keep experiencing this issue. At the moment, there are more urgent bugs I need to focus on, sorry.

I had something on CarPlay , after a stop the screen just went white, I couldn't be bothered to try and sort it so I continued and it came back after a while.

Same here, switch  to  CarPlay window mode and then back to fullscreen mode works most…

I was using my iPhone when I encountered this issue, there was no CarPlay.
