Android widget

Same here. The widget shows my exact address with correct 20795 house number. HERE shows correct location and street, but the house number is 1156, which doesn't even exist. My wife's BMW shows the same wrong house number.

Are you sure you are where you are?

Off-topic (sort of): I started this and got sidetracked so never posted here. If you have a minute (and don't mind going to a site which doesn't support https :/ ) I wanted to get a feel for how the app is being used. The poll is open until 6/22 and I'll post results at the conclusion.

Done

BTW, Github and F-150.

Like one of my old bosses use to say about using a GPS - Trust, but verify!

Absolutely

Public service announcement; this morning I (abruptly) discovered that the API I was using changed, so logins and token refreshes no longer work. I'm working on updating the API calls with help from @tonesto7, so hopefully there will be a fixed version posted today.

2022.06.20 was just pushed to GitHub; Play Store should be available in a few hours. If you didn't notice an issue and had not tried to log in again on the app, you should just be able to install this and then do a "Refresh". Worst case, just log in again.

I just uploaded the latest and logged in. I have no where to enter my VIN number so the widget will not get any info.

You don't need to enter the VIN anymore. When you log in, it downloads all your vehicles.

If the widget isn't showing your truck, enable logging/refresh/save the log, then post a bug report on GitHub.

How do I post a bug report?

I just deleted the widget on my screen and reinstalled it...now it is working.

The steps are listed on the project's GItHub page. Create a new issue and post the info there.

A preview of things in the next release, which I'd been working on until the unanticipated API change this morning:

1. An new option icon on the widget that will force the vehicle to refresh. Because of possible drain on the 12V battery, it has a built-in nanny which limit how many times you can do this within a 12 hour period.
2. Each widget will separately track a vehicle. This means if you have multiple vehicles, you can have a widget for each.

Why am I teasing this? #2 above required a change in the "View OTA Information" screen to select which vehicle's OTA info is displayed (previously there was only one VIN "active" at a time). This code snuck into today's bugfix release. You probably won't notice unless you click on the "Clear Alert" button, which immediately crashes. But if you do, you've been warned (except @Kanuck, who discovered this) .

Lesson learned today; always add new code to a secondary branch, in case you need to make emergency changes in the master branch.

That's called a feature branch and is always best practice.

Version 2022.06.21 just uploaded, with the new features and bug fixes from the earlier post.

Got it from playstore, force refresh seems to be working for me.
