Where are the waypoints?

Hi Sludgie

One would presume that you are saving them to a new file for each trip? In the 'Save" button, save your waypoint list to a folder created for that trip. Before you overbite the old list, make sure that it contains all your waypoints and the new list is the same, with the exception of newly added Waypoints.

Not sure if your Samsung has a USB port, but if it does, make sure that you save a backup into a USB drive everyday that you create the latest file update, as if for some very strange reason they are disappearing, your saved copy will always be complete and you can then transfer the saved files to be opened on other OxiExplorer items.

Interesting to hear what others have to say.

Hello

Bit hard to figure out but...only advice at this point I can provide is to make sure you have the latest Android version of OziExplorer installed (V 1.28). A recent (a few months ago) update to Android caused some issues with data storage on the SD card (among other things).

When working correctly (on default settings) the waypoint file you had opened last should re-open when you start OziExlorer (Android) again. Any new waypoints you create during any session should be saved automatically to this file even if you subsequently turn off Ozi or your tablet. Save the loaded file ("export" in file menu) to a "proper" ozi wpt file for use on PC version and to create files for specific trips if wanted.

Also be aware that some advice you receive on the forum may be from Ozi PC or CE users who dont use the Android version. As as a consequence they may provide some confusing advice, given they may not be aware of some idiosyncrasies of the program specific to the Android version.

Hi
Maybe saved as*.wba
If so export to *.wpt

When you create a w/p by default it is automaticly save to the data folder that is set by default to the internal device folder Oziexplorer/Data, often if you change this default path you will lose some or all w/ps/ tracklogs. What is you data file path? have you changed it? If so reconfigure back to default /storage/emulated/0/oziexplorer/Data . I also have a galaxy 8 have no problems but rooted running cyangenmod 4.4.4 Nightly. If no success save your 1.27 version apk file as it's no long available by using App backup and restore from google play then uninstall ozi and start from scratch. If maps are on external sd they won,t be deleted. if internal they will be. Im not sure if the new 1.28 will allow maps to be read from external sd.The reason why you should save the 1.27 apk file

Hello

Just to assist everyone in figuring out what is going on, can you elaborate on your data management methods?

Are you saving (exporting) waypoints for each trip as a wpt file into the default data path? If not what are you doing?

Are these the files that are "missing? If not which files are going MIA?

Cheers

Wasn't there a problem with Ozi and writing to certain Android folders? I remember it in the past. Maybe it can't actually write to the folder? Just throwing it out there.
