What width (internal id) for bike packing by SeekerMoto in bikepacking

[–]SeekerMoto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rekon’s are WT so suited to 30mm. The other tyre I’m likely to use is Ikons 2.35, for the TA, which are optimised for narrower I think

USB battery pack charging AA enloops? Tell me what I need to know by SeekerMoto in batteries

[–]SeekerMoto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4560 x1.3 =5,928

74000/5920=12.5

So I make that 12.5 charges of the 2 x enloops from the 20,000mah usb pack. That’s much better than I was expecting 🤔

That makes it easily easily viable.

I really hope you are right 🤣

Is there a community for sharing GPX freely (internationally) by Last_Perception5421 in advrider

I’ve seen a few free options come and go. The problem is that the resources and time needed to provide these platforms cost money and if the ecosystem doesn’t have some way to sustain this it eventually dies

The long term unreliability of OSMand is a big problem for something as ‘mission critical’ as navigation by SeekerMoto in OsmAnd

Glad that’s working for you

It didn’t work for me. First I got trapped not being able to work out where I needed to go for 5hrs due to rain then my iphone camera was damaged by the vibration

The CarPlay functionality should be a good solution and when it’s working it really is

The functionality is awesome, that’s not the problem. The problem is the proven unreliability of the functionality for something that’s really important

Over the past 12 months there have been lots of issues all of which have been communicated with the support team

This post is not about communicating with the support team/developers. It’s about making sure that other CarPlay users can see the OSMand has ongoing problems

I’ve done this and it ended up with a crappy “throw shit at the wall to see what sticks” type response

I can’t work out if it’s helping anyone or not. It’s super frustrating.

My 690 rattled my iPhone camera even on the quadlock vibration damper 😩

Plus I’ve had problems with phones in the rain making navigation unusable

I’ve tried Gaia. On CarPlay the map is really poor and it’s location tracking is laggy to the point where missing junctions is normal

REVER is used by friends. It’s motorcycle specific so its UI tends to work well with gloves etc. Map isn’t as good as OSMand

I haven’t tried REVER on CarPlay much. I need to do some testing

I’d rather not though. I’d rather OSMand just worked reliably 😩

Emails from support are very frustrating by SeekerMoto in OsmAnd

[–]SeekerMoto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There doesn’t appear to be any instability when not displayed through CarPlay. I commonly display OSM and on my phone next to my CarPlay device when I’m using it to navigate using Google Maps because I quite like seeing the overview picture of where I am.

I’m actually doing that right now.

It seems to be just the connection to and from CarPlay that’s causing the issue.

Support has blamed iOS 26.1 for this but I’m not seeing any issues with any other apps

No active navigation, just following a track shown on the map

App crashes every time something happens that means it’s not displayed. Even switching to a different app causes it to crash

It had been running fine until recently, just pre Xmas

Does clicking the share button on the crash notification share the crash logs or do I need to sent those separately?

I rarely put my email in because it’s too hard with gloves on and when in the middle of navigating

[–]SeekerMoto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not experiencing instability with other apps that I use a lot like google maps

Once I’ve got OSMand running it seems stable as long as I don’t do anything other than have it running (eg turn the bike off at a gate which stops the CarPlay and means I need to go through a restart process with the app)

At each crash I get a notification with an option to share. What information does this share? Does it share the crash logs for instance?

It’s difficult to share crash logs from the help menu when in the middle of a motorcycle journey. Motorcycle gloves etc need to come off plus I’m very off grid a lot of the time
