Sorry! There is no data.

[Stevewe88]

Hi everyone,
I’m new to the forum having just picked up my 2023 MG4 Trophy (UK).
I managed to login to my account on the app and bind the car but whenever I try something on the app (search location, my travel plan, secondary account, etc) I just get a message saying “Sorry! There is no data!” (See attached image).
Anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it?
App running on iPhone X with ios 16.7.10
Cheers,
Steve

Properly, it should read "there ARE no data". But what can you expect from a translation from Cantonese...

... I'll get my coat.

As someone who just scraped through GCE English (grade E) I bow to those who know better but I find the use of 'are' before 'data' grating. I have always used the singular verb 'is'. So from the internet:

Same here, it may have been grammatically correct, but it never sounded right to me. I think most usage now uses the singular form.

As for the original question. I have the same in my app. I guess you must define a travel plan somewhere first. TBH I never use the built-in maps, I find Google Maps far better.

Data is a term for a collection of data points, thus the collection is a singular entity (one collection) that comprises many points.

"There is some data here"
"There are some data points here"

(All IMHO)

There won't be any data in travel plan or secondary account if you haven't put a travel plan in there , or added a secondary account in. The search location however should show the position of your car.

Similar to sheep. Data is a collective noun
That is a sheep
They are sheep

There are many other samples of collective nouns but I wanted to make Bricktop feel at home

 

[Archev]

That is a sheep
They are sheep

The collective noun should be collie.
