Stop sign continue straight on with the TTS
I think we've seen a similar question before and the answer was that at a junction with a more major road (according to OSM hierarchy) there is an announcement. Junctions with more minor roads or roads of the same status are not announced if th…

Getting around with a .GPX
Do backup the file as it will be overwritten each time the app updates.

meaning of symbols (POI)
Follow what Lubos says, then tap on each category in turn. That expands to show each icon and meaning.

MFN incorrectly treats OSM tag oneway=alternating as oneway=yes
Oneway = alternating is what is sometimes called a convoy system. A bunch of vehicles are allowed one way, then another bunch the other way. This might apply over a narrow bridge, or through roadworks. For routing purposes, ignore it being oneway as…

Severe error with “small local road” enabled
@tomas What exactly do you press and on which screen? I've not managed to find it.

Routing through barriers (vehicle)
I now recall that that same problem occurred in England also.

Routing through barriers (vehicle)
The OSM meaning is no access except for bikes or on foot. Access=no ought to be respected by Navigator.

Data Storage Path Looks Incorrect
I have found that sometimes with some phones and with some apps the internal storage appears as an SD card. I'd trust the memory size report myself but I'm no expert.

New maps frequently find routes that are impossible to follow.
I think that the calculated route is supposed to complete the last leg on an otherwise forbidden road, track or path. It should not pass via a forbidden leg on the way.

One further point: both tts.xml and navigation.xml are overwritten by updates to Navigator. If you edit either of them, keep a copy to upload again after the first run of the updated app.

relocation of map factor navigator maps to ext sd card failed. no more space in phone
In Navigator / Settings / Map Manager / Data Source you can choose which maps you use. TomTom or free OSM, or whether to be given a choice at start up.

TTS voice
Does Google text to speech appear as an option in Navigator / Settings / Localisation / Navigation Voice? If not, download it from Google Play Store. To use Google Text-to-speech on your Android device, go to the main phone Settings > Language &a…

TTS voice
The file tts.xml is multilingual. There are different sections for different languages. So you need a Google Portuguese voice and also you need to add a Portuguese section to tts.xml.

GPS simulation with lost GPS Signal
When I go through a tunnel, GPS is lost but (eg) Google then displays in grey scale rather than colour and shows a prediction of my position until GPS signal is regained.

"Go staight ahead"? Not really!
Maybe a different phrase would be better. How about "carry on" instead of "go straight ahead"?

The difference in size of poi icons between 2d and 3d view is an issue for me as well.

The response form on this forum does not upload images, it just links to images that are already uploaded to the web. You are attempting to display an image that is local to your computer (link is file://.. rather than http://), so first upload it t…

Exit ads from Steamboat Gadgets are scams
@tomas: I strongly suggest you make representations to Google in that case. That sort of advertising devalues your brand and Google's.

I thought the height and weight limit data in free maps is simply not good enough to rely on for that purpose.

Another post says that doesn't work on a clean install but does on an upgrade from 4.0.27.

Dark background for day mode
Some apps allow users to choose between a light interface and a dark one

Settings: map customisation: map colours: night mode: always night mode That will give black background always but won't change map theme when dark.
