FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

I don't want to pay, but still appreciate the service - what can I do?
Leave a review - that's the (second) best way to show appreciation and provide support for the whole system. Thank you. Opening the app page from Garmin on your phone / ConnectIQ app will allow you to review.

Why is my license showing as "Trial"?
After you visit the license page, Awesome Maps sets a reminder to check for a new licence when you start-up for the next 10-days. If you have paid for a subscription, a 3-day cooling off period gives you full funcionality and the option to cancel.

Solution #1 - restart the application or your device to check again (you probably already tried that!).
Solution #2 - from the Awesome Maps menu on your device, select 'Check License'. The on-device menus are in different places depending on if you have a touch-screen or 5-buttons etc. See your device instructions for accessing the settings menus for CIQ apps (all app settings from any developer can be accessed in the same standard way defined by Garmin per device).
Solution #3 - check the license is registered by going into the 'License...' menu and opening the license page again on your phone. This will confirm your license validity and dates - and also reset the reminder your device to check again on next start-up.

Why have I got black/blank areas on the maps?
Probably because some network connection interferred with the download, and Awesome Maps thinks it has a tile but doesn't.
There is code to handle this, but maybe not every case. If you still have an issue with odd blank tiles, from the settings menu scroll down to "Clear Map Cache" - then contact us if that still didn't help.

Why are all maps not free?
Because certain providers require registration and (cost) licensing for their data, such as the Ordnance Survey in Great Britain.
And because there are other network and server management costs to keep everything running.
And because it takes some (a lot) of time to research and fix issues and add features.

How do I cancel my subscription?
The payment confirmation link from Dodo includes a no-password method to manage your payment. Follow the link and within your Dodo record there is the option to change or cancel your subscription.

Can you add specific country maps for where I live?
Possibly... where do you live?
Not all countries publish map information, but more do each year. Get in touch, especially if you know data is available, either publically or under a developer license.
