Many of us use Basecamp as an offline database for keeping saved tracks from the past. This is important.

Well, to be fair, dmd2 is primarily  “follow prepared GPX” app for off roading, with some damn cool features in that department & more (roadbook, obd…). Having navigation capabilities is pretty useful add-on, which makes this app even more cool, but there are many, so many 🙂 , better apps if you only need plain on-road navigation… DMD works with them (for instance, as a launcher), not compete with them.

Maybe to consider Oukitel wp23 pro? Cheap (and I mean VERY) with 128GB, should be enough for your use case…

Successfully solved the problem with non-working controllers in the version 59, by downgrading to version 48. Now I can use both of my controllers with dmd again, until the fix is released.

Procedure is:

1. Backup your dmd config (dmd/main settings/create zip)

2. Delete all dmd2 storage (android/settings/apps/dmd2/delete storage !not only cash!). Note: you have to do full app storage delete, just deinstall 59+install of previous version is not enough (ask me how I know 🙂 )

3. Uninstall dmd2 app ver 59

4. Download dmd2 older version from https://apkpure.com/drive-mode-dashboard-2/com.thorkracing.dmd2launcher/versions?_gl=1*84xokq*_ga*YW1wLUwtZGZRZzl3XzlxR1pPUDlYSkhtTmdsRzE0VGVqSWJBSXBvbHBQSjFMU3diWkVUNTlhTDJtenFoWjBHOGFvWGg

I opted for ver 48. Link is from dmd discord channel.

5. Install dmd ver 48

6. Restore your settings (dmd/main settings/restore zip)

7. Reinstall maps (yap, you have to do it)

8. Since you side loaded Android app (not from Play Store), problems with media widget is probable (restricted access to notifications for side loaded apps) . This is easily solvable -> go to android/apps/dmd2 app/top right corner menu/allow restricted settings and then you can set it what dmd needs…

 

Voila! You can use your controller(s) again.

Again, step 2 is mandatory, prior deinstall of ver 59. Without this step, controllers did not work even with version 48 (this could be useful info for developers, for debugging)

Really? I was under the impression that there is no difference right now between beta program and stable versions?

Probably my mistake. If it is beta, I got what I bargained for 🙂

[Severian]

Yeah, I know. But, not so keen to downgrade from shady sources.

 

Anyway, very unpleasant bug, having in mind that this is not a beta anymore. Affecting so many users in more than noticeable way.

I only hope it will be treated as such, not let us hanging for weeks…

Turf luck for us with ver 59 and affected controllers… Guys are out of office for a week, I saw on fb.

Very, very unfortunate situation for me, having planned rally training over the next weekend. Would love opportunity to fall back to previous version!

Hesanav controller also doesn’t work correctly after 59 update. Joystick works, buttons don’t.

 

Now both of my controllers are useless after 3.00059 update, I sure hope this would be resolved asap.

[Severian]

Ver 59, Carpe iter BMW controller doesn’t work with dmd2 anymore. Works with Osmand on the same hw with no updates of Carpe’s controller app => it is the dmd2 change with this new ver.

 

I hope it is not intentional…

[Severian]

I noticed version 51 for non play store devices… Don’t know what changed, though.
