Thanks for the question. Do you mean a map with trails or overlaying a trail using a GPX track (like bike trail) on top of a map.
If a map with trails, Google maps as the default in Geooh can show some trails, but not much detail. For better map trails, use Alternative Maps offline maps option in settings and download/select a map with the trails you'd like to see. Geooh doesn't restrict what maps you can use, but you do have to identify the Mapsforge maps you want.
If a GPX track overlay, just use the Use Map Overlays in the Maps section of Settings. Put tracks in folder directory of your choice then select it in settings as an overlay you want to see displayed over any map (Google or offline).
Groundspeak changed something in the OAuth authorization process preventing Geooh from obtaining API access tokens. I've emailed them to report the problem.
There have been no changes related to Android's auto dimming based on the setting whether to keep on or off... Android handles that. Same with anything related to no media as that is also internal to Android. Sounds like an Android file corruption issue which clearing storage will correct.
All software everywhere will have bugs as new features are added or the operating system and 3rd party software are updated. I do my best to minimize those, but with a full featured app like Geooh and being a single developer there will be problems at times on something I didn't find in testing. Thanks for your patience.
It's not Geooh reading the files as much as Android is to provide contents to the app.
Documents is a public Android folder which is probably why media scanner is accessing it. Create a private directory outside of it (like Geooh) and don't use periods in the name which can confuse Android. Also be sure you have unzipped any map or theme files.
Sorry, no... Google has strict control over Android Auto UI windows, dialogs, etc... developers cannot set the dimensions or placements of them. Unfortunately on older AA car displays with smaller screens things will get crowded. See the screenshot of what it looks like on larger screens.
Do you have Show All Adventure Lab Stages in the Waypoints section of Settings? There is a bug when showing all, so temporarily uncheck showing all labs until the next maintenance release comes out.
Are you subscribed to the Enhanced version of Geooh? The watch feature is available to enhanced only. If you are subscribed, be sure you have checked Enable Geooh Wear in the Misc section of settings.
You can only have one geocache on the watch at a time. A watch display/performance is not suited for downloading lists of geocaches. The value of the watch is allowing handsfree searching for a geocache so you can put your phone away. Get close to the cache via the watch compass, find it, then log it with the phone... again you don't want to try logging/editing on a watch display. After posting a log, select another cache on the phone to send to the watch to find.
Even though you are using offline maps, the underlying map engine is Google maps software. And for whatever stupid reason, they won't tell the app the map has been properly loaded until the map engine can read from a Google map site.
Is there a reason why you need to use airplane mode? You could also go into it after the map is fully set up. Or use Google Maps instead of offline maps first to keep Google happy and then go back to offline maps once Google has cached information it wanted.
I am very confused. What I see is you used Geooh turn-by-turn navigation to drive to a location. That's good as no other geocaching app has built-in navigation like that. Now that you have arrived, what are you wanting to do? In other apps using an external navigation app you just exit the navigation app and return back to a geocaching app most likely their map view. From there you probably use their compass to hunt for the cache. Find it then log it.
You do the same in Geooh. Once you arrive you can ignore the pop-up by dismissing it with Android back. Then use Android back again to exit the built-in navigation. Just like other apps. Once out of turn-by-turn navigation you can use the compass to also hunt for the cache. After finding it, display a task list and then log the find... just like the other apps.
Geooh just provides the compass and log geocache window as a quick path while still using the navigator. Just don't use it if confusing. There are so many features in the app that to a new user it can be daunting. Just pick features you like and ignore the rest until you feel comfortable using them. Review settings to see all what is possible.
Geooh's compass is also like others. The red arrow points to the cache. The blue arrow is North. Notice it is between NE and NW. That is just helping you see the direction of the cache and which way is North if you need it. At the top of the screen is a distance counter to the cache so you know how close you are to it. Holding the phone vertical let's you see the map if you want. There is a setting to turn that off... if you want. The app is very configurable.
Just curious... are you new to geocaching? Have you used a different app? If new, I'd suggest using the official app from Groundspeak and their website first to get familiar with geocaching as it was designed for that.
Yes, as I mentioned in my earlier post, you tapped the compass button to go into compass mode. Just like all the other geocaching apps the compass points to the geocache. Use Android back to exit compass mode. Then you can tap the info bubble above the cache to pop up a task list of actions you can perform on the cache. One of them is to log the geocache. Or select Show More to open a screen with more information about the cache. And you can tap the menu button there to also pop up the task list.
I also previously mentioned that while in compass mode the compass will fade in/out depending on whether you are holding the phone horizontal or vertically. Try it... it's a feature unique to Geooh.
I'm not fully following the steps you are taking or the screens you are seeing. Screenshots or video would be great and very helpful to me.
If you are seeing the compass overlay, you've turned that on via the compass button. It fades in and out based on whether the phone orientation is horizontal (compass visible) or vertical (compass invisible). Just use Android back (button or swipe) to exit the compass mode. The compass, as it should, always stays centered on your location.
The term "navigation" means different things to different people and/or apps. In Geooh, navigation is turn-by-turn driving instructions, not compass orientation.
There is an error indicating a corrupt database for you. If possible, backup via Geooh if you want to save settings, offline lists, cartridges, etc. then go into Android settings -> app -> Geooh -> storage -> then clear storage/cache. You may need to uninstall/reinstall if that doesn't work to see if the corrupted files can be cleared out.
