Hello!

Is there a path to return to the stable version after testing the beta?

Go to Play Store, unsubscribe the Beta, uninstall DMD2 and Reinstall. That is it.

Beta installed on the Carpe Iter. How do I activate the plugins I’m licensed with the tablet purchase?

[Armin]

The beta is awesome but I keep losing the bluetooth connection to the adventure controller and the obd dongle.Obd automatically reconnects but the controller stays dead until I turn the ignition off and on again

Samsung ActiveTab 2

Adventure Controller

Obd Link MX+

Tapping ‘Waypoints’ from the GPX manager reliably crashes DMD2.

1. Upload GPX from Google Drive
2. Tap GPX from map page
3. Tap uploaded GPX
4. Tap ‘Waypoints’

App will then crash.

• Only one GPX in the manager
• GPX has multiple waypoints, but one track
• Interestingly, then tapping ‘Send feedback’ also crashes the ‘Google Play Store’

GPX file attached

This was not supposed to be used on CARPE tabs because for those we will release it through Carpe Manager App Shelf.
Either way, on today update it will enable your plugins (we added device detection code), so it will work after you update from Play Store.

Sorry but that is not related to the app at all, the BT connections are managed by the device BT stack, and the Active Tab 2 uses a somewhat old and known to be problematic stack (specially when you connect more that one device).

Hi,

 

thankyou for your efforts and good work!

playing around with the beta i noticed a few points:

– will it be possible to hide upper and lower bars?

– media widget not showing album cover (apple music/spotify)

– will obd section become more settings/options (as in the current stable version)

– is it possible to set the download path for offline maps (eg to an sd card)?

 

Thankyou!

Ben
