Scenic misses starting point and drops out

Hi Guido,

I've been using Scenic for several years in Europe and it always worked great, never had any issues. However, since a couple of days I'm using it in South Africa and Scenic doesn't recognize the starting point of a planned route. It tells to go to the route but when I do so, it simply passes the green flag without starting to navigate. No speed, no directions, just a blue dot that follows the track without navigation instructions. Som times it suddenly starts to navigate for a while, but most of the times it will drop out again.

I have re-installed the app, restarted my iPhone(15) several times. I'm using a downloaded map of the area and I'm not using CarPlay. What is going on here?

Cheers, Mike

Hi Mike,

Haven't changed anything regarding this recently. Should work, but I see it doesn't. Not sure what's going on. Will need to investigate further.
Meanwhile, what options are you using here? Trying the other option might help.

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 ❤️

Thank you Guido, I didn't use the guidance to route start. Will try and let you know.

Cheers, Mike

Problem solved! It turned out that a GSP tracker that I use to geotag my photos interfered with Scenic. It had not only connected to my cameras but also to my phone. After I had disconnect the tracker from the phone, Scenic works perfectly.
