It sounds from your description as if you're running in to a more serious problem, and one that we have not seen here in the office (and therefore probably have not fixed). Waypoints cannot just duplicate themselves; there must be a trigger action. Can you help us by determining what action is taken that results in duplication of the waypoints?

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

It's logging out and back in, which isn't something that you would be doing very often (if at all). If you're getting duplication simply when starting SkyDemon, that sounds like a different bug. But perhaps you could install the latest beta and confirm whether it still happens.

I have approx 30+ user-defined waypoints defined and each one appears to be duplicated around 30 times. So I too am suffering a significant performance loss on my Nexus 7 and share the same problem as described earlier. Restoring from the cloud just hangs the machine. Not at all easy to recover from. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thx

Group: Forum Members Posts: 5, Visits: 139	Just one thing to add. I've found that by far the quickest way around the problem is to uninstall SD from the Tablet, then re-install it from Google Play Store. It removes the problem and is massively faster than waiting around for the system to upload waypoints from the cloud. I estimate I had around 1850 waypoints including all the duplications. Trying to "load from cloud" just hung the machine completely. The re-install was over and done with - and problem (perhaps temporarily) resolved - in a matter of a 1-2 minutes or so. I can also confirm that with the duplications removed, the speed and responsiveness of SD has been restored. It was extremely sluggish before and in, fact had started to crash very regularly. I am running SD 3.0.7 and so far, the problem hasn't reappeared, although it was evident with 3.0.7 when I originally downloaded this version earlier. Maybe 3.0.7 doesn't remove the issue if it's already present, but (hopefully) it solves the re-appearance of the duplication issue one you have a "clean" set of waypoints?
