Turn by Turn Directions still not working

[osua...@gmail.com]

Steve,

I installed Build 25 a few days ago onto my Samsung Galaxy S5 (running Android 5.0).  I build routes in Strava and export .gpx files.  Then I upload them to RWGPS and pull them into the app.  That works fine, and they load fine as well.  When I start the route, it tells me I'm on the route and tells me what direction to go - sounds correct.  After that, it doesn't give me any turn by turn directions at all.  It sounds like the bug you fixed with Build 25, but so far, even using different routes, I can't get the turn by turn directions to work.  I know the app is working because I've set my profile to tell me the current time every 15 minutes and that has been working great.  It saves the activities too.  Just no turn by turn directions.  It also doesn't give me Ending Feedback; I don't know if that's related.  I verified the route created in Strava includes a queue sheet so I think the resulting .gpx file is legitimate.

I even tried to export a .tcx file from Strava and manually put it in the TCX folder location on my phone.  The app crashes as soon as I try to load a route if a .tcx file is in the /data/TCX folder.

That's odd. Let's make sure this isn't something to do with the WAY you are developing your routes. Can you try creating a short route (with a number turns) MANUALLY using the RideWithGPS web page? If these also fail, this will at least confirm that isn't the problem.

While I haven't used the turn-by-turn feature myself over the winter, I have created and ridden many of them since the creation of Build 25, and nothing has gone wrong with them.

The problem you are having does sound like the issue that was deliberately fixed in the last build, but still might be a result of the way the routes are create.

As for TCX files, these don't USUALLY contain the turn-by-turn instructions, and so their usefulness for this is limited anyway.

So, let me know how manually creating a route turns out, and we'll take it from there.

Looks like that was the problem!  I created the route manually using RWGPS's web page and it works beautifully.  What a great app!  I'll be passing word around my local bike club!
