Location Map puzzle

The Location map has been a great feature in my app but has started playing up in ios8 The problem seems that some maps open driving directions but on the whole I'm getting a missing plug in message I cant find anything wrong in the code and I have two other apps with location map which work without any issues Here's the bad one https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/id768378887 Yet this app works fine https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/nsscpcl/id945084798?mt=8 Any advice would be welcome

I have found something odd which may explain the problem The screen for the faulty maps instead of saying opens driving directions now says does nothing It seems to have changed itself on the dashboard - hopefully editing each map will fix the issue

Update - yes that was the problem It's as if someone has gone in and changed all my maps removing the driving directions link - very odd

I had a problem with driving directions, but not in the control panel, although I have seen that. https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=11BA564AD82BD892E8E9E5C&command=isSearching&currentPage=3&topicTitle=map&createdBy=&repliedBy=&minViews=-1&maxViews=-1&minReplies=-1&maxReplies=-1&forumCategory= It seems the control panel does not accurately read back what you saved. As a work-around to that, I found creating the json and saving it separately from the config file worked. However, I have recently found when I go to actually use the driving instructions in an app, the start point could not be found. For that, I had to do a fix in the plugin. http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=27821F0040C9E6223C776BB&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=DESC&currentPage=1

I've updated the maps affected and it all works now - seems there must be a bug in the control panel maybe

Glad you are all sorted Chris. I'm assuming the directions from current location that failed for me works for you. What device(s) do you test on please?

There were some problems with the plugins quite a while back, but I believe they are all sorted out in the current code.

I definately fouund a condition that needed fixing in code. This was on the plugin downloaded just last week. I test on a 5, not a 5s. Hey ho.
