[deepstar 38]

Thank you. Working on Note 10+ with Android 10. Stuck on splash screen is fixed.

I uninstalled and installed again on my phone and I am still stuck on slash screen...

Do we also have to reinstall the app on PC?

 

[deepstar 38]

No. Google updated my app to the new version and it worked.

Ok so it isn't fixed for me at least.

Thank you for this app, it's working great on my dedicated moving map tablet, LenovoTab E 10 - Android 8.1. So far the best moving map I ever used. All I miss is a toggle switch for the screen to turn off automaticly. But this is just me.

Thanks again and take care

You want the screen to be able to go to sleep? Can't you just exit the app, so the screen goes black after a few seconds?

Guys, please consider dropping a review or rating on the App Store or Google Play store - that would make my day  🙂

@alberto2000 Things aren't working for me unfortunately. I've installed on 3 devices:

Moto G3 Plus, Android 6.01

Moto G4 Plus, Android 8.1.0

Google Nexus 7 (2012), Android 5.1.1

Server tool installed on PC. Download was initially blocked by Malwarebytes Windows Defender Smart Screen, but I gave it permission to continue. It appeared in the System Tray but stayed red. I saved the link in the Taskbar and started it from there and got a second System Tray icon in green. Both before and after trying that method, I copied the server info onto each device, trying just one at a time in case of conflict. But each device shows "Waiting for server info..." at the top of the map, with no sign of my plane whether I press the location icon or swipe to my location on the map.

I've even tried with both Malwarebytes and my firewall disabled, though I wouldn't risk that long-term.

Any suggestions?

Hi @109Sqn that sounds again like some sort of networking / router/ firewall settings issue. I'm afraid I can't help everyone on that since it's always highly specific to your PC network and setup. Are you sure both PC and mobile device are on the same local network? Can they reach each other (try pinging the mobile device from the PC)? Make sure only one instance of the server application is running on the PC and only one client at a time is open and making requests. It should work out of the box really. Let me know how it goes.

Question? How did you gents enter the IP with the periods?  My keyboard does not show and/or allow a period.

[Ikev 1]

OK installed a Goggle Keyboard App which and enabled it in settings (Un Checked the Samsung Keyboard App) and it now allows me to enter the period.  Testing now!

THX very much, I bought Android version and works perfectly for me! 🙂 I have some small idea for improvement. If possible, I would be very happy with some distance measurement. I'm thinking about simple distance indicator between the plane position and finger touch could be a very useful feature. But only if it is technically possible. Thanks! 🙂

[alberto2000 31]

Hi @ludekbrno and thanks for the suggesion. That sounds totally doable and I've thought about it. It would be easy to implement. User could add drop pins on the map e.g. by long-tapping a point on the map. But I'm currently more interested in reading the flight plan data and inserting the waypoints into the map although that seems more complicated. But I have taken note of your idea!
