Emlid Flow Crashes when Applying Localization

Suddenly started having a problem with Emlid Flow crashing when applying localization. I have a few different point files (CSV PENZD) that I’ve imported into different projects. Each project was created using Global CS. Each project has four to eight control points along with perhaps twenty to seventy points that I planned to stake out. I’ll Measure the Control points and perform Localization, but Flow crashes each time I tap Apply Localization. When I restart Flow and open the project, the control points used in the Localization are displayed but none of the other imported points show. This happens even on projects that I successfully imported and localized just last week. In one case I localized and staked out points last week and then again early this week using the same points list (I’m re-staking points that get wiped out by earthwork and localization is a quick way for me to setup the RS3 base at different locations on the work site) but today, Flow crashed every time I tried to Apply Localization. I created new projects and re-imported the points list a couple of times but the crash occurs every time. I’m not sure if I’m suddenly overlooking a setting but, as far as I can tell, I’m doing what I’ve done dozens of times on numerous projects. The only thing that I know is different is that I upgraded to Flow ver 11.5 two days ago. I’m going to try again tomorrow at a different site/Project that I successfully used Localization on several months ago.

Maybe a bug?

If you have an extra device, may be try that too?

If it bombs again, maybe uninstall the app, reboot, reinstall?

Thanks. I’d tried the uninstall/re-install but no luck with that either. (I’m running on a Samsung Android tablet.) However, it works on my IPhone so will run with that.

Hi @SteveB,

I’d like to take a look at the CSV files you’re working with to try to reproduce the issue here and better understand of the issue with the Android device and assist with this case.

Could you share the files you’re trying to import? Please send them to our support email at support@emlid.com.

Hey Victor. Thanks for the reply. I’ll send to you the file I was working with. It will contain all the points including the pairs created for Localization prior to where the Flow crash occurs during the last step of the Localization process after I’ve measured control points in the field, selected the Control Point/Measured Point pairs and then tapped “Apply Localization”. It’s immediately after tapping “Apply Localization” the second time that Flow crashes and closes. It crashes before giving the option to save the new Global CS or “Back to Project” It seems to have a problem with applying the localization and/or recalculating all the points in the project in my ver. 11.5 for Android. However, it works great on my IPhone. No problems as all on the IPhone. Used it a couple of times over the weekend without an issue including the same project file that crashes on the Android tablet.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to let you know that this issue has been resolved with the release of the Emlid Flow version 11.6 update.

If anyone else encounters a similar issue, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
