Trackable `Travels` function not working

Hi Geooh,

the Trackable `Travels` function not working isn't working for me I click the function, the activity bar at the top goes for a bit, then, nothing.

The other trackable functions work for me.

I made a video :)

Regards

Did you happen to view the trackable via the Live map? If so, it similar to what we discussed before that once the map is open for caches, you can't open it for mapping waypoints or trackables.

I've updated Geooh to not show the Travels item when the map is open so it will reduce some confusion since there will be nothing to click.

Yep, that's exactly what I did.

I wonder if there is a way to help people like me steer towards offline lists. If you've used the basic app (most people have) it works on a `live` basis, so when you transition, it feels natural to jump straight into live ( well, it did to me).

Now I'm taking some time to create offline lists of the areas, or caches, I'm interested in for the day, and the workflow is much smoother.

The problem with just removing the option is that it makes the app look like it's got less functionality that it has ( kinda), and people may not understand why they see it sometimes, and not others. On the other hand, you can't leave an option which doesn't do anything in there.

It is an awesome map too, to be able to quickly see if a trackable has been where I'me headed is very useful.

Thanks again.

Yes, Geooh is centered around offline lists which is its strength. After discarding old habits from other apps, especially c:geo, you'll wonder how you ever geocached the other way. I'll think about a better way to explain options.

The travels display is the best of all the apps I think. The lines look better and markers are color coded to indicate whether a TB was dropped or visited. The starting and ending locations are also highlighted.
