App has been working fine but not used for a few weeks , I've added the latest database (Speedtrap) and tried numerous others but once installed they all show 0 Poi's and a green sad face , any ideas what I'm doing wrong ??

Can you run through how you added the latest database and in Settings - Databases, does ot show 'pocketgps_uk_sc.txt' ?

The links for that error don't mean a lot to me but sort of point to either a security issue or a storage issue.

Check phone free space
Check STA permissions

I use CX file explorer as default , deleted that and used the default file manager and all added ok

Thank you for your help xx

I don't unzip the file once downloaded. I just navigate to the zip file/ appropriate file and let STA extract it.

After a bit of investigation the only way to add the database's is but using the default file manager none of the after market ones work

I'm guessing this is something to do with the last update which happens last week as it worked fine before

With the default file manager I do not have to unzip the download

I'm running the app on an unrooted Galaxy S10

So am I, Galaxy S10

I download the latest database, that gives me a message that it has been downloaded and gives me a prompt to open it which I ignore.

I then use STA, Settings, Databases, the top "+" symbol.

That takes me to 'Downloads, Recent'.

Then I tap the pgpsw-speed ~' file (which is always top left for me), and that opens a popup box, 'select file'

I select the bottom pocket~.txt file.

That then shows me the last file and the new one and I 'remove' the old one.

OK. Now for the easy way.
Email the following link to yourself

http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Cameras&op=DownloadPackage&idPackage=500

Star it (or whatever) so that the email doesn't 'get lost'.
Logon to PGPSW on your phone (The logon will stick so no need every time)
Click the link (the correct database without pMobiles) will be downloaded to your 'Downloads' folder
Now 'link' STA database settings to your downloads folder.

Long winded explanation, but a 'two/three click' update.

PS. This will only work if you are a paid up member
