whereyougo

[+Hergram]

I have a Garmin Monterra and if I am using Whereyougo and start the player it gives "WhereYouGo is stopped".

I use the Wherigo file "Park-1813". The error rapport is:

Can this problem be solved?

It seems, that you have not enough memory for this cartridge. Perhaps you could free some main memory?

I have tried that too, but is doesn't work.

I looked into the cartridge and found, that the author didn't resize the images he used. So some images are 4608 x 3456 in size. If each pixel needs 3 bytes, than each unpacked image need around 50 MB. That's could be to much for your device. Most Android apps use a workaround to not use so much memory (https://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/load-bitmap.html). I assume, that WhereYouGo doesn't do this.

 

I would say, you should contact the author and ask, if he could reduce the image size of the images he use.
