My iPhone is managed by my work with Mobile Device Management (MDM) and we use the Google Suite (email, calendar, drive).

Work disabled Google Maps recently for some reason (don't ask why, that's a recent top management decision that sparked a big debate internally).

I can use the Google Maps app just fine with my personal account. But any attempt at typing maps.google.com in Safari is captured by MDM and gets redirected to my work authentication portal.

What does this have to do with Komoot? I like using the "Get directions" button to take me at the start of the trailhead. When clicking the button, it seems you make a URL call through Safari (which then gets blocked by my work) instead of opening the coordinates directly in Google Maps.

This forces me to configure Apple Maps in the Settings, but Apple Maps is really inferior for directions.

Wikiloc has the same "Get directions" button, and it opens Google Maps app just fine.

I understand this is a niche problem, but quite an annoying one. I end up having to copy paste coordinates/addresses between apps.

A couple weeks ago, I posted pictures of a very slight crack in the chain stay of my Terra.

My LBS hasn't been super proactive and I had to call and email them a couple of times to finally hear they consider the bike is safe to ride.

Now Orbea warranty covers frame and paint issues. I reached out directly since LBS considers their exchange with Orbea is some kind of secret.

Orbea response:

We determined that the issue is not covered under warranty.

In short, while we offer coverage for paint and varnish manufacturing defects during the legal warranty period, our technical department determined that the paint issue on your frame stems from an external reaction or agent rather than a manufacturing or material flaw, making it ineligible for warranty coverage.

I asked if their technical department came to the conclusion solely based on pictures or if they physically inspected the bike. I also asked what kind of agents they are thinking of to come to that conclusion. They are not responding.

So while this is disappointing and I hope this doesn't develop into a bigger problem, the biggest letdown is that my bike has been at the shop since August 4th with very little proactivity and communication from the shop. Also the "secrecy" of the exchanges between Orbea and the shop is kinda ridiculous. When contacted directly Orbea gave me their explanation. Until they stopped responding.

I'm just back from my first run (12K) with them.

My iPhone 17 Pro with Spigen Liquid Air cover bounced quite a bit which eventually created some discomfort around my right hip after 10K, despite my moderate pace (5:35 / km).

Admittedly I have chicken legs but I find the lining fabric too stretchy and not really tight fitting.

I'll definitely use the shorts for walks and hikes, but that's about it.

Don't expect to fit an iPhone Pro Max in the side pocket by the way.
