    Additional question: Is Chrome the default browser on your phone?

  • Julien Plotaroute   Tuesday 14 Apr 2026 10:00:53

    Hi Mark,

    Same answer as on the OS mapping topic: I'll have to report this to the devs, because I'm unable to reproduce the issue, and clearly what solved it for me doesn't work for you.

    Does using WIFI/Mobile data change anything when you use the web app?

    Thanks,
    Julien

    @Mark: What you're experiencing is definitely what I had before clearing the cache. Now, on both iOS and Android, the web app shows the Cycle Map and the Topo Map correctly.

    What browser are you using to add the web app to your home screen?

    To be clear:

    • Removed PR from my Android mobile
    • Opened Chrome. Cleared cache
    • Went to plotaroute.com/mobile
    • Logged out
    • Installed PR

    Cycle Map does not show until I choose "Plot a route"

    Top Map still showing a mix of OS and OSM depending on zoom, and the map tiles are not consistent

    Regards,

    Mark

    Hi,

    @Travis: answered your help desk ticket: the walking path is set to "foot = no" on OSM

    @Mark: What you're experiencing is definitely what I had before clearing the cache. Now, on both iOS and Android, the web app shows the Cycle Map and the Topo Map correctly.

    Thanks for flagging the max-zoom Cycle Map issue. I'll report this to the devs right away.

    All the best,
    Julien

    Desktop, plotting a route Cycle Map ... zoom in fully and map tiles disappear. Never used to do that

  • Mark Worthington   Sunday 12 Apr 2026 15:01:44

    @Mark: If you haven't done so, could you please delete the web app, clear the cache of your mobile browser with which you add the web app to your home screen (most likely Google Chrome), and finally add the web app again.
    This is what I had to do to get the Cycle Map working on the web app again.
    Let me know if this works.

    Julien,

    Nope, didn't change a thing. To be clear:

    • Desktop, all is working OK other than some oddities in the OS mapping when zooming out. Note that one is always in "plot a route mode" to see the map

    • Mobile, open the app which just shows the map. OSM Cycle (Cycle Map) just shows a blank page. OS (Topo Map) shows even more mixing of map styles when zooming out.

    • In Cycle Map (so a blank page when starting the app), select "Plot a Route", the mapping appears as expected. Select "go back" and it's back to a blank page.

    AutoPlot to a Trail no longer seems to work for me with this update. Attached is a video of the issue. I've tried clearing the cache, and even using incognito mode. Any ideas how to resolve this?

    Hi everyone,

    This morning the devs changed the available scales on the OS + TOPO map layer.
    It is now possible to zoom out way more than before.

    However, to take full advantage of this, it requires emptying the browser's cache.

    We are aware of the following difference: at a specific zoom level, the map shown is different between most of the South and the North of the UK.
    This is linked with our projection model, and we're not sure this can be changed.
    We hope it's not too much of an issue at this zoomed-out level.

    All the best,
    Julien

    Hi Paul,

    Could you provide more details about these freezes?

    Do they still happen?
    Do they happen on all the base maps?
    Do they happen when moving a map or when plotting?
    Have you cleared your cache or tried another browser?

    Thanks,
    Julien
