Article Comment: ExplorOz Traveller Feedback & FAQ

Pam & Grant,

Excellent feedback thanks. Yeah how about we go with a user selectable Current Nav line and even the Next Nav lines (which are currently purple). I will add these to settings in a next version.

Heading - I assume you mean line 2 which is a lighter blue with the Naviating To XXX - I wonder if a dark line with white writing may suit this better like the tabs at the bottom of the screen - what do you think? I could colour select this however at present it is using one of the 7 base defined style colours and it would be easy to switch it from this to the darker one.

On terms of your current position was the pulsing icon at your current location not showing or was it that you could not see it easily enough? It should be pulsing if you have this option enabled in settings.

There should have been a waypoint reached alarm as well as an auto dismissed pop-up message! How close did you get?

Deleting of places should be possible for all place types provided they are local to your device. At present we do not allow for deleting of master online system places directly from the app. We would prefer this be done via submission of comments into the place itself so that place administrators can valid the deletion requirements.

End Navigation - That is very strange what happened when you pressed it, we have never seen a use case that the End Navigation did not work so interested in your feedback on this one.

Pam & Grant,

Have a look at the 1.7.3 release notes in the ExplorOz Traveller Feedback & FAQ section under versions. I have implemented your feedback already. Hope these settings make it easier. Please continue to let us know your feedback it is the model we use to build the app that you want to have.

PS: I am uploading this version as I write this to the stores.

sorry but negative and positive feedback from me!
I took the spiel etc in good faith and downloaded the app on my Samsung S2 tablet only to find that it was limited to using internal storage only atm.
Therefore all I can download is the Base Pack. Yes I eventually found the FAQ stating the apps limitations ( after wasting time trying to find an option to download onto external storage) but that was not stated on the promotional email received nor in the download info.
The email clearly stated it was suited for android tabs etc. It did not state that there was some limitations and some work in progress to be able to download and use the complete mapping data base.
Disappointing the full info on limitations was not made clear in the promotion spiel. I have now potentially perhaps wasted the $ as far as I am concerned and with the time limit of Google Play I cant refund either.
Having said that the app is good and I look forward to using it but its usefulness is limited if its not fully functional with all data bases.
David and Michelle you have lost a few brownie points with me this time. The app wasn't cheap but I was prepared to pay for it based on good faith
