Thanks for your reply. Probably the fact that my iPhone is disconnected from wifi is caused by my router, not by PE. Apparently when downloading map data, my iPhone (but not my iPad) does things that my router does not tolerate.
But I’m 100% sure that, even when PE is in WiFi only mode, my iPhone sometimes switches to cellular data, and in that case PE continues its downloads using the 3G network (which costs me a lot of money once my limit has been reached). When downloading maps to my iPhone, the only thing I can do, even at home with my WiFi network up and running, is to disable Cellular Data completely.
OK so maybe I’ve been complaining too much – or this is something that only affects me. Well, I would be really grateful if at least the wifi-only mode is really wifi-only. I suspect that currently it only checks for a wifi connection at the beginning of map downloading. If the iDevice is thrown into cellular data mode sometime during download it won’t pause downloading. It would save me a lot of cost if it did.
And maybe it’s not a problem of PocketEarth that my iPhone is always disconnected from wifi a few minutes after map downloading starts. Maybe my router doesn’t like to transfer map data to my iPhone. Strange thing, though, is that I’ve now discovered that these problems don’t occur with my iPad 2 (which doesn’t have 3G/4G), same OS, same version of PocketEarth.
