Motion X GPS HD v21 released

[RobRed]

Hmm. I upgraded via iTunes as well, so maybe it's choking on a direct upgrade?

Most likely.

But now my iPad will not boot to the point where it shows up in iTunes.

It keeps switching between the Apple logo and a frozen progress wheel. Literally for 2+ days straight. Will not fully boot up at all. Just about had it with the whole iPad system.

I just need something that will works reliably and accurately!!

It's going to make a good 250m target next time I'm on the range...

Understand technology can be frustrating sometime... But the iPad and motion X GPS have been flawless, 100% reliable in field.

Have you tried a hard reset? Hold the sleep/wake button on the top and the "home" button (round bottom one) together for 10 seconds. You might have to restore from your backup, which might be a good thing since you can delete MotionX and reinstall from your computer rather than downloading directly to your iPad.

I think it's my fault for buying a refurb. I am going to try to return it...

Anyone update to V22 recently? This thread had me holding off from updating my iPad; just wondering if maybe there has been an update on the MotionX side to address any of these issues, or if it's still a 'use at your own risk' upgrade. FWIW I'm running an iPad2 3G version.

Thank you RobRed for making a lengthy and somewhat daunting task, for myself anyways, into a streamlined process. The video on tlcfaq.com along with the map links were very helpful.

You are welcome. Beer is acceptable payment

Maybe someone can help me out here...

I'm trying to use this app for the first time this weekend to give me a route to a campsite and track my driving around.

I have the campground waypoint set, but when I hit 'navigate' it just gives me a 'as the crow flies' navigation. That will be great when I eventually get helicopter money, but I'd like it to show me the route with roads, N-Roads, etc.

I don't need turn-by-turn directions like MotionXDrive seems to give you, just a layout of what roads to take...

Motion X doesn't plot routes for you. You'd have to make a breadcrumb trail on the map of your choice, and navigate from waypoint to waypoint. People often use other web based mapping software to draw a route, then download the route in an appropriate format for Motion X to use. But it's still point to point; if you want the follow the road type navigation you want Drive.

Their website has some pretty good info here: http://gps.motionx.com/ipad/gpsmanual/

The tutorials built into the software are really good for understanding the functionality of the app.

Right on, thanks.

I'll have to check it out once I download it.
