Exploroz Traveller V8.02 question

I have a similar problem on my Android phone.
My tablet seems fine.

Thanks David, the manual sync worked as you described. Now to obtain the the new maps. Fingers crossed. :)

All good David & Michelle. Successfully installed in iphone & ipad.

One small glitch you might want to know about is in the deleting of the EOTopo 2021

Same on both devices. iPhone XS & ipad 6th Generation.

Deleting XhiRes Pack & HiResPacks was ok, but deleting the Low res pack the slider just kept repeating 0-100% indefinitely.

Shutting down the app & restarting it fixed it.
It was deleted on the restart on the iphone. On the ipad it still showed as being loaded & offered the delete option again. Hitting the delete option saw it immediately change to 'Download', telling me it had been deleted.

Glad its sorted for you now Cuppa but just a tip for anyone else - use the Clear Maps option instead of deleting each pack separately - its a simple one flush and is a much cleaner/faster way to delete your maps. Do this before you download your 2023 maps to ensure you have enough storage etc. The 2021 licence is still supported so if you ever did want to download them again you could.

I shall try to remember that next time around David & Michelle .................................. I promise. :)

It will be easier if we are on a good fast internet service instead of a crappy satellite one which is slow at the best of times & comes & goes with the weather.

It's wet season here & so it rains on & off, with the 'net disappearing each time.

What is excellent about the EOTopo downloads is that when cut off like that they can be resumed where they left off when the 'net went out. A particularly useful facet for travellers I imagine.

I managed to get the download all done on the iphone within about an hour, but things slowed when doing the ipad & & with more' 'rain interuptions' too. Took almost 5 hours on the ipad, sometimes with downloads appearing to get stuck, but resuming when I closed the app & restarted it. Quite a mission. Not your fault though.

Wouldn't be an issue if we were somewhere with faster internet, but it's several years since we have had that 'luxury'.

And because of this I do appreciate how the downloads are not only 'resumable' but also how they are structured into separate packages.

One thing that I have always thought would be useful is the ability to store the map files offline, even if it was in their compressed format, so that you could reload them without the internet. If this was possible, you would only have to download them once for use on multiple devices and if there was a device or human stuff up when you were off-grid you would be covered. For example, instead of going back to the tablet home screen, I inadvertently deleted the maps off my Android tablet, I had the data manager open and the clear maps box slightly overlapped the controls on the bottom of the screen and fat finger syndrome took over. It's device specific, on my phone it's clear and yes it does require a second click, but at the time it was late, and I was setting up devices to download overnight, just the sort of conditions for a snafu but could be repeated if you were under pressure when travelling.
