Won't save down loaded route. Try to save route but get a message saying sorry, something went wrong. Doesn't tell me what, so cannot fix!

I have the app on a Lenovo P11 Pro gen 2 Android tablet. I want to use the 3D viewer in the browser. Every attempt to do this takes me to the app - which obviously is not what I want. How do I get it online in the browser with 3D?

I have downloaded my maps. One of them shows all the details I need -down to footpaths etc.. The others just show roads and are blank if I try to zoom in

When I pressed save I lost my cycled route altogether then next day it reappeared. Next cycle route disappeared altogether ie hasn't surfaced again? Can't rely on this. Used as backup to Garmin.

Whilst out walking with "Record an Activity" set & started. the route I'm walking is plotted as expected but then, it will suddenly stop drawing the track, although triangular the route marker continues to move.

TOTAL ASCENT & DESCENT I am currently running OS Maps App version 4.4.2.970 on my Xperia 10 IV XQ-CC54 running Android 13 and the Total Ascent and Descent figures it gives are, to me, highly suspect. I’ve communicated with Customer Support several times, to no effect. I sent them three illustrative Screenshots of a route which I had recorded and saved on 31st May this year. 1. Screenshot_20230531-154044 - the route map I recorded, saved, and captured that day on31st May this year 2. Screenshot_20230531-154128 - screen capture taken on 31st May giving the Total Ascent and Descent figures and the elevation trace 3. Screenshot_20230706-213001 - screen capture using the latest version of the App, taken on 6th July 2023, of the route which I had saved on 31st May 2023 giving the Total Ascent and Descent figures and the elevation trace. Comparison of these screen captures, of my cycle ride on 31st May, shows that the version of OS Maps App at that time gave a Total Ascent figure of 760 feet whereas the current version, calling up the saved route, gives 602 feet. There have been several new releases of the App since May 31st but they all show the same discrepancy. My problem is, which figure is correct? Much as I love the OS Maps App, I’m tempted to give it up and just use Strava to record my bike rides

I get the maps up but when I zoom in for detail I get a blank screen! 🤔

Ma[s won't fully download to my iphone. Whichever map I try, it stops at 23%. I have not got any maps downloaded to the phone at the moment, so it's not a storage issue.

Map won't autozoom in my immediate area - I have download of 1:50 Stirling and the Trossachs 57 and the autozoom on the app seems to cut off at E84. I've deleted the download, but it's still not working. Its fine on the Pc, just not on my phone.

I have just created a route and after easing it, I can’t find it in my Route. Also most of my routes saved over the year are missing.

Blue Wilson you are not alone: all my routes disappeared yesterday in the middle of our coast to coast walk. Fortunately, we also a paper map! Routes are still there if you

All my saved routes including ones I have done and ones plotted to do in future have disappeared. It’s like everything has been deleted. These are vitally important to as I’m currently walking the entire UK coastline in aid of charity so need to plot routes in advance and keep a record of ones I’ve already walked

I cannot zoom in to scale on the app despite having a good signal and WiFi connection in the house.

I have a route which I plotted saved in my routes. The map and route will not download on my android phone. It downloads very very slow and stops at 99% not finishing the dowload. Very frustrating.

I have been using this app for around 4 years with no problems, however for the last 6 months the recorded distance has not been correct. I plan a route using the app which correctly shows the distance, for example 6 miles but when I record the same route whilst walking it shows 11 miles. I have walked with other members of our group who are also using the OS maps app and my phone (Apple Xr) always shows excessive mileage. For example yesterday our club had a walk where several members recorded the distance as approximately 6 miles however my phone recorded 11.58 miles! The settings are in miles and not kilometres. I have previously reported this problem but I have not had any satisfactory solution. If this problem can’t be corrected I will be cancelling my subscription.

Same problem as Peter (19/8/22) - each time I try to open OS Maps after logging in to my account on my laptop, the error message pops up that my browser doesn't support Mapbox GL. Had no difficulties doing so until a few days ago, now nothing.

I am on the 7 day free trial - been desperately looking for a navigation app since Viewranger was torpedoes. So, OS Maps was recommended. Started the trial - set up some routes for next week's hiking on my PC. Downloaded the app to my phone (Android) and started downloading apps - screen went black and each time I try to open the app, that's all I get! It's not a great start, I have to say! It's 'interesting' that a search on the WWW indicates this is a common problem - but there seems to be NO comment from OS Maps!! Come on, folks - this has ben going on for months!! At this rate, I'm unlikely to take out a subscription!

Does not seem to be recording an activity correctly, as in distance covered and maybe mph. Walked a route this morning said to be just under 8 miles and the app recorded it as over 10 miles, others using different ways of recording agreed it was nearer to 8. That is a big difference and I remember my last walk also recording as longer than was expected.

When opening OS Maps today I got an error message on my pc "Browser does not support Mapbox GL". I tried all the Coogle Chrome fixes but still got the error message. I didn't have this problem yesterday. Is there a problem with OS maps not recognising Chrome ?

On my Android phone the app often hangs while recording a route and sometimes crashes. Also, when saving an activity it sometimes gets saved twice. This isn't very good considering payment is required to get all the functions.

When plotting a route I keep getting error message . Something went wrong while loading the map Funtionality maybe limited. This is using my iPhone? It didn’t do this before? Any help would be good thank you
