Was about tp do some checking/research on Vic Goldfields using Tribolite ....... for some reason things ain't what they used to be .... some sort of re-design that I can't get my head around.
Worse still no prior advice that it was going to happen and how to reinstate what I was using.
Not happy ......

Same here Teemore.... I can’t seem to find the map overlay for shallow workings/leads on Vic gold map since I last visited the app.... couple of months I suppose.
All I can get are the dot locations of the relevant diggings.

This had me head scratching the other day, you need to redownload the layers, frustrating.

 

[Hippyty79]

These ones for WA, for the layer section that completely disappeared.

 

[OzzieAu]

Thanks H79.... I did try that earlier but it didn’t work. Just went back and had another go, and bingo, I’ve got that layer back up.
Must be working in slow mo or something?

 

[Hippyty79]

I’m still confused at what difference the update made, it seems WA tenements are updating daily, I did notice on the website holding your finger on the centring icon the screen tracks your movement and tap and hold on the map now gives gps coordinates in different variants.

I had to download my extra data layer again the other day also. No big deal, it's back up and running now.

Evening all.

I downloaded the new Trilobite update from the Apple Store 2 days ago and since then haven’t been able to open it. Thankfully brother in law has a backup Samsung with everything I need.

Anybody else has the issue? I contacted David through the website 2 days ago but no response and can’t see anything on the forum listed at the bottom of his website.

Cheers, NE.

 

[Hippyty79]

Yep, deleted and downloaded 3 times now, if you try to create a track or drop a pin the app crashes, if you go the website there is an emergency backup link for your trails, this didn’t work for me the first time, but i tried again today and worked, but if you close out of the app you need to use the link again to open the app.

Updated the App 2 days ago and now Trilobite will not open on my iphone - the Trilobite app icon is there but when touching the icon the app's opening screen flashes up and immediately disappears. A search of the phone and the Apps library comes up negative. Looks like the program behind the icon is no longer there. Yes, my subscription is paid up to date.

Click the red Data recuse link, I saved this to files.
After opening the link clink the square and arrow scroll right right and clink the last button and open with the trilobite app.
If your out bush don’t try and save trails or drop pins, and don’t simply rely and apps to get you home.

I’m having the same issue as Casper above.
Click on the icon and the map turns on then immediately switches off. I haven’t done anything but update a few data layers recently. All was working fine, then went to open it today and nada....????

 

[Moneybox]

Yes same problems with the missing Data layer so I emailed David. He said I just have to add at least one data layer but in the past I've had most of them. All sorted after a couple of attempts and a restart.

Now I've installed Trilobite onto my iPad and that works but the original copy on my phone crashes on startup. Perhaps I can't run it on two devices?
I've emailed David for help but no response yet.

 

[Paul Schipper]

Same issue for me. I’ve run the app on an ipad ad a phone with no issues. Third time installing and also downloading the data sets for WA. It eventually crashes on all attempts and then won’t boot up. Have to delete and start again. Ever since the last update. Very tedious. Hope there will be a patch soon. Paul.

I run trilobite both on iPad and iPhone, although trails and waypoints don’t sync between the two, I read maybe on the website the licence allows for 2 devices
If you use the link I posted above you can save all your trails and waypoints and reload them if you need to delete the app.
Here’s a link from trilobite about the crashing issue, #0

24 hours on I decided to deleted and reinstall the app and all seems okay now will test in the field today.

 

[OzzieAu]

Yep, same here....on iOS devices seems like you need to do a complete delete of the app and then reinstall or it won’t run with the updated format from the developer.

 

[Northeast]

Thanks all. Same issue as Casper, crashes on startup.
I thought to delete and reinstall but I assume I would have lost all trails, spots, gold marks for this trip if I did that??

Last day today so not an issue for a week or so now.

No joy ….. the app was stable on the Victorian gold map until deciding to select satellite imagery causing the app to immediately crash. I now have the same behaviour as I initially reported.
