Hi Richard,
I'm using a Google Pixel 7 and I'm having a number of issues with the app.
- Switching map crashes the app
- Loading saved routes results in an entirely black map which stays black when you hit the stop button (see attached screenshot)(e.g. https://cycle.travel/map/journey/471609)
- The "where to?" text box does nothing if you select a location then "Navigate to" - I was expecting it to navigate there from my current location...
- Black map if you switch apps then switch back
- No marker showing my current location is visible
- The "snap to current location" button often does nothing
- Black map if you lock then unlock then device whether or not you are actively navigating
- Long press on map and selecting Navigate to does nothing if no start location is active (again, would have expected this to navigate from current location)
Cheers,
Ant

If it helps I'm running Android 16 but I was having these issues on Android 15
Thanks – those certainly shouldn’t be happening which makes me think there’s something more fundamental going on there. Android is always a challenge to develop for (no two phones are ever the same…) but I’ll look through the crash reports to see if I can find out what’s going on there. At first glance it looks like maybe the phone is sometimes preventing the app from having access to location, which seems strange.
As it happens I’m just finishing off a big new release for the Android app which should be available in a fortnight and has a number of bugfixes, so hopefully that should address some of these.
Thanks Richard.
I've just checked my app settings and it turns out location permission was set to not allowed, not sure why. Have now set it to "allow only while using the app"... which has fixed all of my issues!
