What is your media setup? I have XL and I remember listening to Spotify via Connected (split view) and opened StreetWise on the main window. The music never stopped playing while StreetWise still tracked my trip.
I don't have XL, just visual boost so can't split screen. I was under the impression from all the 'instructions' (which are more like marketing spiel) that you just had to plug in the phone at the start of the journey to start streetwise off. Then when you unplugged it, it released you'd ended the journey and saved the details? I thought this would therefore just be able to run in the background without having to be on the mini's screen.
If not, I really don't see the point, as it means the mini's screen has to be taken up by the streetwise app for the entire journey, and any press or click off of the streetwise screen would end the app and render any tracking up to that point pointless.
Spotify seems to be able to run in the background (i.e still plays music no matter which screen is selected in the mini), but as I mentioned in another thread, the only way to change songs is by using the i-drive controller when the spotify app is open on the screen. So in doing this, would require navigating away from the streetwise app, stopping it from running (if it in fact isn't able to run in the background).
Hope I'm making sense, just want to know if I'm doing something wrong, and whether it is possible to have the streetwise app running while doing other stuff on the screen. I think it could be a useful feature for me if so. If not however, I can see it not being used at all, as I don't really want my screen taken up by it for my entire journey without the possibility of pressing anything.
