It took a long time to do all of this and we still have a lot of work to do now.

We have updated to the very latest code and are now paying for a service that will get us back up and running much faster if we get hacked again.

We really apologize and thank you so much for your patience.

Default Mine is still not working

My Villages GPS is still not working. I get a message that says that the operation couldn’t be completed because the object matter failed to serialize, whatever that means.

Hi everyone.

It's back up now but we are still working on it, so there may be an outage from time to time until we can completely fix it.

This could take over a week.

Thank you for your patience.

Default Not working

The app works right up to the point where I see the map and press start. Then the whole screen turns blue and I have no options except to exit. What do I have to do?

Thanks.

Hi, I just read this and we are working on Android issues now.

We will have another update coming as soon as the Play Store approves it.

There is a zoom issue with it but we will fix that afterwards.

iPhones are working fine.

Also, we read and reply to every single email within a couple hours.
Every email has been answered to this point.

We will reply to every email as well as on here as soon as we have the new update.

Thank you,
Villages GPS Team

Exactly, the goal is disrupt operations and create mayhem, of any kind.

Android users, Please go to the Play Store and update the app.

There is a zoom issue with it but we wanted to get it back up fast.

Just use your fingers to zoom in after clicking the route.

After clicking Start… start driving and if may say recenter if it doesn’t automatically zoom in.

Click that and it willing work fine.

We will fix that in another update soon.

Thank you for your patience.
