Map N Soft system updates

[arcman]

After updating the software (map-n-soft) a couple iterations back, my 2015 no longer defaults to the media screen where I always leave it. Now it always starts up with my location on the map. Not what I want.

Just updated to the Apr. version and it's the same.

Is there any way to set the default screen other than the map? This worked fine up until the Dec.'21 update.

Yes, this is a new setting that one of the updates a year or three ago added. Just look through all the settings till you find one that says something like auto return to map, and set that to zero.

It was already set at off. I reset it to on. I'll give it a couple starts and then turn it back off to see it it resets.

Thanks.

That seems to have fixed it. Thanks for the tip.

Sure enough, a few days later and its back to starting with the map screen. Just called Map-n-soft and their phone rep is clueless and offered zero help. I'm so thankful that I paid $185 for the upgrade (then three months later it was free) and you could care less about helping.

Has anyone here ever tried reinstalling an earlier version software (without crashing the whole system)? I could care less about map upgrades. Just want the media screen up first, like it used to be.

AFAIK, there is no way to get it to load a lower version number, only newer versions. This is fairly standard practice.
