Michael,
Thankyou so very much. I was worried! Yes, please send me a dev build which I can use temporarily.
Just for my curiousity, what was the problem?
Thanks again.

Well…that was odd…

I converted my app to iOS 7 look-and-feel tonight, recompiled, and the behavior stopped! Still using 2.6.1, but for whatever reason, the odd map behavior has gone away. Did you guys update the cloud service?

No public changes have been released for the map refresh issue. We will share a dev build as soon as it is ready.

How odd. That behavior has stopped in my app.

@1thinchip,
You are lucky, because I did a new compile on mine and no changes! Can’t wait for the change, Michael. Thanks again.

Hi guys,

Please take a look at this 2.6.2 dev3 build available:
http://www.genuitec.com/support-genuitec/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7007

Feedback is really appreciated.

@Michael,
Definately getting closer!!! I could accept this fix … because at least it now refreshes the whole map. BUT, it still places the center of the map(my center is the center of the flight path) in the upper left corner the first time it displays – on the second leg. The first leg displays correctly. Let me explain: You should have all my code so have the dev team follow these instructions to get the error.

****** This occurs ONLY on the DEVICE! I used an iPad for testing. .. works fine in the sim.

1. load program, hit <Start>, <QP Settings>, change aircraft … select <Falcon 7X>, hit <return>
2. hit <Quick Planning>
3. in dep date enter: 0311 , Dep time: 1000, departure: VNY, destination: CYQX, Hit <Calculate>, itinerary displays
4. hit <MAP> … you will note map displays correctly, with the flight path centered ….hit <Back>, then <back>
5. select leg: 2 in combo box.
6. enter Dep time: 0900, destination: EINN, Hit <Calculate>, itinerary displays
7. hit <MAP> … you will note map displays, BUT the flight path is not on the page. The center of the flight path is located in the top left corner. Note: you can slew it around, but just leave it alone for now.

** Now hit <Back>, then hit <MAP> again. Note, now the map is displayed correctly.

leg 3 has the same problem as leg 2.

Hope this helps.

For some reason, my issue seems to have vanished.

Glad to hear that for you 1tc.

Michael, Did you get my message that I still have a problem with the map not centering on first display. Refresh the map and it is ok.
The dev guys are definately on the right path, because they fixed the map portion. Could you have them see if they can do something about the centering? Have them check using my program code and the sequence I set above.
Thanks

PS, if they consider this “fixed”, when is the new version of M1 due out?

> Could you have them see if they can do something about the centering?

Yes, continuing the investigation. Will update you as I learn more.

Please try this following code rearrangement. With this code I am not able to replicate the map centering issue you describe on an iphone5. The routes I have been testing with in order to use different zoom levels are:
leg1: dfw > lax
leg2: lax > sfo
leg3: sfo > jfk
leg4: jfk > bos

function removeFlightPath() {
    if (flightPath){
      flightPath.getPath().clear();
      //flightPath.setMap(null);
     }
}

function Show_GCMap() {
 $('[id$=map2]').gmapready(function(gmap) {
   removeFlightPath();
   MapZoom();
   
   var   mapcenter = new google.maps.LatLng(avglat[legg],avglon[legg]);
   var   start = new google.maps.LatLng(dep_lat_decimal[legg],dep_lon_decimal[legg]);
   var   end = new google.maps.LatLng(dest_lat_decimal[legg],dest_lon_decimal[legg]);
   var   arrow1 = [start,end];
      
   if (!flightPath) {
       flightPath = new google.maps.Polyline({
           map: gmap,
           path: arrow1,
           geodesic: true,
           strokeColor: "#FF0000",
           strokeOpacity: 0.6
          });
   } else {
       flightPath.getPath().push(start);
       flightPath.getPath().push(end);
   }

   gmap.setZoom(zoom);
   gmap.setCenter(mapcenter);
 });
}

Michael,
By the way I am testing on an iPad2, vers 6.1 IOS

I tried your code and for the last 2 hrs tried variations of same. I still get the same “centering” problem.

As a work around I have added a button<CenterMap> to the bottom of page <QP_3_Results.mobi>. All it does is call ” Show_GCMap(); “.

Leg#1: VNY – CYQX >>>>> displays OK
Leg#2: CYQX – EINN >>>>> centering problem

Then I hit the <CenterMap> button and the map centers and displays OK! I have not changed anything, just called Show_GCMap() again!!!

******
As a test I took the the mapcenter function out of the code:

// gmap.setCenter(mapcenter);

Now the map displays centered on the default position <34,-150> that is set in the properties of the map2 (this is what it should do). Upon displaying leg#2 it centers somewhere up near Alaska.

So somehow the center variable is getting lost when the map is displayed the second time.

Hope this helps. Sorry for being such a problem to you.

Paul

I just tested my version on ipad air/ios7.1. Centers properly.
Our ipad2/ios6 died; can’t verify there.

>As a work around I have added a button

I did something similar. I pan map then hit center button. It returns to center pt with no issue.

As an experiment you might put the setCenter() call in a setTimeout() with 500ms delay to see if there is some contention between zoom and centering functions.

[PaulLeBlanc]

Michael,
I tried the “timeout” and no changes.

Can you please try one more thing then we’ll just have to let it go.

Take out the mapcenter function out of the code: The center of the map should be ALWAYS now at the default location Lat, Lon set in the map2 preferences, <34,-150>.

// gmap.setCenter(mapcenter);

Now make the first leg VNY – CYQX. The map should display centered on the default “location”/ position of <34,-150> that is set in the location properties of the map2 (this is what it should do).
—- Do not touch the <Center Map Button> ——-
Now make the second leg CYQX – EINN. The map SHOULD again and ALWAYS center at the default position, but it does not. It centers somewhere up west of Alaska.

Third leg is further off!!!

If you get this same error – with the center moving – , then somehow the “center” variable is getting lost when the map is displayed the second time. THIS might be the problem and where the dev guys should look.

Thanks so much,
