Hmm...I have NOT heard this before. Maybe do a search in the map.m file and see if there's a reference to the red map pin somewhere? Search for "red" to start. I'm not sure what's causing the icon to change. Are you literally holding the pin down with your finger (the ice cream cone) and doing nothing else, then it changes? Or, are you tapping, holding, then dragging or something. Maybe as detailed description as you can provide to produce the issue would help. not sure about this, very strange.

That is correct. When I tap on the "ice cream" and holding it in, the ice cream disappears and the red pin comes up. Is so strange! I have search the hole project if I have miss something. But I can not find anything wrong. I commented out several lines just to see why the red pin comes up.

Dumb question, how do you see the red pin appear if your finger is on the Ice Cream cone? Not trying to be difficult, just trying to make sure you're literally holding your finger down when the graphic shows. Also, buzztouch v1.4, 1.5, or 2.0?

When it has changed to red pin, it is there all the time. Ice cream icon is not coming back. BT v1.5. If I'm not mistaken, did not you make custom maps in your app that you hade release about a year ago?

I've done all sorts of things with maps, some amazingly complicated. LOL. I'm still unsure about EXACTLY what's happening when you "hold your finger" on the map pin. I realize that once it changes it stays red. What I'm unsure about is what happens when you tap and hold the pin and literally not move your finger. Does the pin switch from Ice Cream Cone to Red Pin without moving your finger at all? Or, does it switch when you let up, move, or otherwise make a gesture. Super strange but there must be an answer somewhere.

Awesome video. I see exactly what you mean. Because there are so many different things this could be...kindly email me... a) the BT_screen_map.m file you're using. b) The ice cream image your're using. c) A copy of the JSON data if you have it. If it's coming from a URL, send the URL so I can see it. The data should not matter but why not include it if it's easy. I'll get a look and see what I can come up with. I'm afraid our timezones are different but we can get through this :-) Send to: david 'at' buzztouch.com
