Published on 4/24/19For customers who are using the old version of the application (classic version)
- Between 28th April and 5th May, SityTrail France application will steadily be updated automatically to the new SityTrail application via the AppStore (for iPhone / iPad) and the Play Store (for Android).
Warning :
- The format of the database which manages maps has changed in order to allow more features (selective removal of maps areas, selective update of maps areas, ...). Your maps downloaded previously with SityTrail France application will be deleted when the application is updated, you will have to download them again after the update.
If your are on holidays or hiking during this period and you are not able to download your maps again, we advise you to disable temporarily the automatic update of applications in order not to loose your maps. However, installing this update will be required on 6th May.
- We advise you to send to your SityTrail account all the trails that you have recorded with your device and that you have not yet uploaded. If you don't do it, it will be more difficult to get them back on the new version of the application.
- Flags that you have created previously with SityTrail France will be sent to the server as soon as you log in to your account on the new version of the application in order to be kept as points of interest on the new platform, in a specific list named "Flags" + the date of the import.
It is temporarily not yet possible to create new flags with the mobile application but you can keep the ones you have created.
We will allow you to view the location of flags on the map in the mobile application in one of the next updates of the application.
- On 6th May, the new version of the website currently available on https://beta.sitytrail.com will replace our old website on https://www.sitytrail.com
The update of mobile applications will also be required. You will not be able to start the old version of the application again.
If you have disabled automatic updates on your device, you will be able to do the update manually from the Play Store or the AppStore.
If you use another application (SityTrail Belgium, SityTrail World, ...), it will also redirect to the new application at startup and downloaded maps will not be available anymore. You will have to download them again in the new application.
