I believe you found s "real" issue, and it should be resolved. The reason you should be seen even if you are at the same location, is that our map "scatters" people on the map - so we don't reveal actual location. You not showing is not possible as designed. I found that the recent changes to Expedition and Adventure tier hierarchy broke map display, and anyone in the Expedition group was not being displayed. I believe if you search for yourself on the map now, you will see your pin.
Thank you, Michael. Yes, now I see both pins, also my own position again. Thanks for the quick fix!

Hi @ Michael the new update is crashing when trying to use the map!
Did this get resolved with the latest version?
What is your Android OS version?
Hi @Michael...map seems to be working ok now since upgrade ...Thanks for your reply...one thing I noticed...do original members now have to subscribe to the yearly rate to use map features?

Also do we have to log in every time we open the app as it requires me to do that every time at the moment?

Hi @Michael...

Along these lines, every time in get in the app it takes me to the map, vs. the forum feed or home or anywhere else??? And it doesn't automatically update the forum feed. If I just go to the feed it looks like there have been zero new posts, but if I click around a bit, it will refresh. I'm on an Iphone 13, but it was also the same on the 12 that I just upgraded.

Does this on Android 12 as well.

If you click out side a reply when typing up a reply you lose everything you just typed. Not sure if this is a bug or just the way it is. Is there a way to preserve what you typed?

You do not have to subscribe to use map features. Please let me know if you are having issues. There is a "Line of demarcation" you can see at this link. Let me know if you have questions: Overland Bound Member and Feature Tiers - Overland Bound

There was a recent issue which has been fixed. Your forum feed should update properly now. Please let me know if you have any further issues.

Hello Team,
The ‘message members’ button found on the map/members is not working.
Hi John,

Thank you for your help with the app! I just tried this locally and it worked for me. Can you let me know what device, app version, and operating system you are using? That will help us to track down the issue.

Thank you!

M

Thanks @Michael...the seems to work ok...but I don't have access to the map layers like I did before as it keeps popping up the subscribe to Adventure or Expedition option...so therefore can't access it like I'm now a basic member!

I was using the Exp App on my android phone/Galaxy S21 and it froze up. Had to uninstall and reinstall. Did not come back in the Expedition format.

Hi Lyn,

Your account is still Expedition activated so as long as you logged in with the same account you should be set. Clearly it should not freeze up. Any detail there would be helpful.

Thank you!

Hey folks,
I'm having a rough time with the app and trying to figure out what might be operator error vs issues in the app.

Phone: Google Pixel 6
OS : Android 12
Build #: SQ1D.220105.007
Kernel: 5.10.43-android12-9-00005-g740f7fbe5f39-ab7943734
App: 11.2.2.0111

tl;dr of issues:
  • member number wraps on welcome screen (cosmetic) (0:02)
  • 3 word locations (e.g. excellent.amazing.skyscraper) not searchable (0:20)
  • often see "unable to load information..." (0:55)
  • forums won't load (1:02)
  • forums by category just scroll loading animation (1:12)
  • messages: "error fetching conversations" (1:30)
  • clicking person tile in lower right causes app freeze (1:35)
  • often see "something went wrong while fetching user data" on first start (screenshot)

I've linked a screen recording and attached a screenshot to hopefully capture/share what i'm seeing. Happy to provide any additional info.

Thank You!

Kevin M.

On iPad the map layers aren’t all accessible, only a few, the “scrolling” only moves a small amount.
