@ hvdwolf Nice summary Yes I noted the posts abut the bollard tag restricting cycle routing Let's hope the team in due course can find the time to improve cycle routing I appreciate your time

No one else with the same problem or any good hints? I guess the MF team is also committed to other things - mainly related to motor vehicles Fair enough

Earth_osm.mca File Download - Can I Use This to View a World Map?
lubos Thanks for your help and suggestions I now have a confession to make I asked from the beginning how I could view the world map and obviously no one thought I was such a total dumb-ass not to realise you can view the world by just zooming way…

@lubos You're a genius I have followed your general method and have also managed to display the world map As you say just an experiment to see what information it provides and perhaps explain the need to have the world file What I did …

@hvdwolf Thanks for the additional comment As a relatively new starter in the world of mapping apps I am trying to understand how these things work I have had trouble understanding why a world file (and not the specific country file) would be used…

All very interesting - thanks for this And I note Oruxmaps has a small world map too Oldie is right If the earth_osm file is not there then MFN does not work at all Cannot detect any maps and asks if you want to download maps My comment about the e…

If Navigator cannot operate without the earth_osm file then the app is effectively 100+MB which is quite large I was hopeful there was some additional side benefit Some further insight on the need for this file would be helpful but thanks anyway

tomas I would use it just as a general world atlas Country borders and major towns would be good For example a quick reference check on location of cities mentioned in TV news At this stage I cannot work out how to view this type of world map det…

Use of imported .gpx files
hvdwolf Thanks for your comments On road categories/classification My use of the term "category" has perhaps been misleading I agree that the classification (primary, residential etc) for each road comes from OSM In my link#1 above …

Use of imported .gpx files
"Turn on Small local roads" I've heard that advice from tomas and PrzemekSupak given several times to newbies in the past 2 months or so myself included They must get tired of saying it Why does Navigator Free by default not swi…

Create a .gpx file without planning a route
I tried some further track recording tests and could not repeat the problem of the missing trace after pause/restart Tracks for the full route were recorded However if the app is stopped (Menu/Exit) the track record is stopped and it seems you ca…

Create a .gpx file without planning a route
I have had similar experience with no recording after pause for about 15 min and then restart (using the flashing red button feature) On that occasion I finished with two .gpx files each with correct unique time in file name However both files show…

silvermapper You seem to have reached a workable solution From my experience the 'Save as NMEA (or GPX) automatically' options will record a track only when you use 'Navigate' or use 'Route Info" to pre-define and navig…

Poor route selections (MNF)
"Detail Navigation" provides some of that additional information I want - thanks I've looked previously at the OSM NZ web-site and note there are some keen volunteer groups over here So will enquire about what can be done

Poor route selections (MNF)
Thanks very much PrzemekSupak that adjustment solves all the problems Excellent! Very surprising that one or more important city streets are classified as "Small local road" (lowest of 8 road categories) btw In MNF 1.5.22 the path seems t…

Poor route selections (MNF)
Thanks PrzemekSupak I think your comment probably refers to Example #2? All the local roads were available for my route (note that all roads needed for fastest route were used among the various #2 options above) So I doubt that a disabled road wa…
