Any VatMap users experiencing problems?

[Luke Alley 1277782]

Hey everyone. I am sure a lot of you on here use the iOS app called VatMap. For the past week or so I have been experiencing problems using the "charts" part of the app. I type in my ICAO code, it loads for a sec, then the blue loading bar goes away and nothing shows up. I have downloaded it on 3 different devices, all with the same results. I have it on my iPhone, my iPod and I tried on my dads iphone also. Has anyone got any idea what's going on? Maybe something from the developers of it? I love using this app as it is a very quick and convenient app to use for any sim pilot. Thanks!

I'm not the Developer, but I believe it has something to do with Charts.aero not having acces to European charts.

As of last week VATMAP app is reading from two data servers which are stuck to old data.

When it cycles through the rest the data is up to date.

Anyone know how to contact the developer ?

VatTraffic for the iPhone is a possible alternative but it only works with the phone in landscape mode and doesn't seem to be updating AIRAC data even after entering a valid Navigraph access code (which the app accepted). It's basically a free, cut-down version of the (payware) iPad "777 EFB" app. However, purely as a VATSIM viewer I don't think it is as slick as VatMap.

Hi guys,

 

I've updated VatMap with the bugfixes so the servers work again.

Also added a new chart system. I'm still working on the chart database but it is growing

 

Kind Regards,

Nice to see it back to life, thanks Wkberg

 

"Single Russian Women" banner at bottom, wish me luck explaining my wife this is an app for VATSIM traffic

Haha oops...

 

Still tuning the ads. I'll flag that one as offending.

 

I wish we could do without the ads but we need them to fund our server.

Understandable.

She'd think these moving aircraft with callsign are the traveling Russian Women available in the vicinity LOL!

Disabled some categories of ads.

Will be checken if any other of those ads are showing.

Added more charts and a route plotter.

Wouter, are you importing data for custom new ATC sectors coming on line ?

Example ADRIA Radar.
