User Waypoints Duplicated on Opening SD for Android

Group: Forum Members Posts: 626, Visits: 14K	Hi Tim & SD Team I've just discovered that every time I open SD (3.0.6) on my Nexus 7 (2013), my list of User Waypoints is duplicated. I've just spent the best part of an hour deleting all the duplicates! This doesn't happen on my PC.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 8, Visits: 70	Anybody found a way of fixing this if you have THOUSANDS of duplicate waypoints on Android SD? I don't even use waypoints - there was the original Skydemon HQ one and one called New Waypoint on the North Wales coast. Trouble is these are duplicated hundreds and hundreds of times. It takes around 20 to 30 seconds to delete a single waypoint - this is clearly not a solution! I'm assuming this may be one of the causes of the lousy performance I'm experiencing with the latest version of SD for Android. I installed SD on a PC, created a waypoint and saved the waypoints to the cloud. I then went on my (Nexus 7) tablet and tried to import / overwrite to the device from the cloud. The import just hangs! Looked in the filesystem on the tablet - the Skydemon directory seems to keep logs, flightplans, aircraft specs etc, but not the waypoints so I can't even just delete the waypoints file!

Until the new release, you will have to do this periodically to clear the list.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 8, Visits: 70	So the problem of where the duplicates came from is fixed. Great. My problem was how to get rid of the thousands of duplicates that had been generated. Why thousands? If it doubles them up, and I started with two then I only need to turn SD on 12 times to get 8192 of the damned things. Trying to load a new, short waypoints list from the cloud appeared to just hang the app! EDIT: I managed to finally get the short list from the cloud to load. The problem was it was just taking forever, so I left it forever - over an hour I estimate - to do the update and nuke all the duplicated entries. This wouldn't work if I let the tablet timeout and the screen go to sleep so I had to go into Settings>Developer Options>, tick the Stay Awake option, and then plug the tablet in to charge. For information the platform is a mk1 Nexus 7 16Gb with the latest published version of SD. Edited 6/12/2014 8:47:20 AM by Rob Swain
