Paul HudsonTomorrow @mikaelacaron and I record the next episode of @swiftovercoffee, and we'd love your answer to our open ballot question: what are *you* building for visionOS, or what are you hoping someone else will build? Answer below and we'll read out as many answers as we can!
Stephen@twostraws @mikaelacaron @swiftovercoffee I am building Topo Maps+ for visionOS (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/topo-maps/id672246353?itsct=apps_box_badge&itscg=30200). Having a huge map is a lot of fun. Unfortunately, my immersive experience is crashing on real hardware. I have a fix that should be out soon. (https://twitter.com/StephenLJohnson)
Topo Maps+
Designed and tested on real dirt, Topo Maps+ is packed with the maps & tools to plan and execute your backcountry adventure. ‣‣ MAPS FOR EVERY ACTIVITY ‣Setup your map based on your planned activity ‣‣ PLANNING TOOLS ‣ Compare and Download maps for use offline. ‣ Combine overlays to customize your…
@StephenLJohnson @mikaelacaron @swiftovercoffee Hmm. All I get is a blank map – is it waiting for me to do something?
@twostraws Thanks for showing me this screen shot. It should immediately load a map. That is certainly not what is expected. 🤦♂️ I have a feeling I know what is going on and it is something that I need to fix. By chance do you have your locale set to the US, but your location is not in the US?
@twostraws If that is the case, tap on the Map icon in the bottom toolbar and select Thunderforest or AccuTerra Topo.
@StephenLJohnson Yes, that's exactly it – a US App Store account, but living abroad. I suspect quite a few Vision Pro owners are in this situation right now 🙃
@twostraws Thanks for the heads up on this. I need to get this scenario fixed. The app is trying to load a US only backcountry map and it is giving you no indication that it couldn't load it 🤦♂️🤦♂️ Tap on the Map icon and then select Thunderforest or AccuTerra Topo
@twostraws By the way I used your site a ton while developing the app. I consistently found that your site was the most helpful when I had questions about Swift and SwiftUI. Thank you!
