WikiCamps on Android Laptop


Up to around 4 months ago had Wiki on my Laptop Now, after it loads I get this message load latest version for the App ( Fruit) Store, when I click on UPDATE NOW I am directed to Microsoift Store, I can see WikiCamps USA and WikiCamps UK but No WikiCamps Aust.

 

Anybody had success, If so what do I do.

 

Thanks

Who is the manufacturer of your Android laptop?

This sounds to me like a Windows laptop rather than Android. Wikicamps for Windows has been discontinued, much to many people's annoyance. I understand that it's possible to run the Android version of WC in Windows via an Android emulator, but I have not tried this myself so can't vouch for it.

Yes had the same problem, apparently Wikicamps is not available any more through the microsoft store, which is a bugger as I used it a lot for reference when planning a trip, looked up a trip on google maps and then simply checked out the parks etc. or off road sites on Wikicamps. I hope there is a resolution to this, if any one has the answer please post it.
Cheers and happy caravanning

As bristte said, it no longer works on Windows directly.

You can use an Android emulator in Windows. Bluestacks is a free one and it works but not as smoothly. On my to do list to see if there is something better.

Note that you then need an Android licence for Wikicamps. Maybe as they no longer support the WIndows version Wikicamps will swap it over.

WikiCamps for Windows has been discontinued which has been annoying as my home PC and Notebook PC both are Win11 operating systems. So installed Bluestacks5 emulator and installed WC and other Android apps I use. WC runs smoothly on the emulator as do the other apps. No fuss and all runs well.

Thanks DO, Will Try, ... But I was a computer expert 25+ years ago, ie Virtualization enabled in the BIOS. Ha Ha

 

From Google A1:

Yes, BlueStacks 5 will run on a Windows 10 laptop, as Windows 10 is the minimum supported operating system. For best performance, ensure your laptop meets the recommended system requirements, including having at least 8GB of RAM, a multi-core processor, and an SSD, and that virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.

Minimum requirements
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (version 1903 and above)
Processor: Intel or AMD processor
RAM: At least 4 GB of RAM
Storage: 5 GB free disk space
Administrator privileges: You must be an administrator on your PC
Graphics drivers: Up-to-date graphics drivers
