Road types (Navigator 12 vs. OSM)
I started nearly the same topic in the year 2011: http://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/22/compare-open-street-map-data-to-navigator-10-free#Item_3 10 categories should be enough, if they are used well (or better than now). And I agree with hdwol…

As I reported long ago, there is a problem with the setting "Pedestrian". To repeat the bug: in Pedestrian profile, for example, disable Local Connecting Road (OSM="secondary") and all higher levels. Then try it out with a Start …

Yes, your Navigator works OK, there was an unnoticed error in an one-way road (opposite direction). Everything's OK.

@tomas: I did and I see nothing wrong, the "only_right_turn" restriction is the same like many others. Or does it really have to be "only_straight_on" ?

I found a problem with the conversion from Open Street Map turn restrictions into MapFactor Navigator MCA data. If you try Slovenia, from Slovenska Bistrica to Cigonca, everything is OK. If you try the opposite direction, well --- it's a long…

I have problems with the latest build of Slovenia OSM (June 23, 2013) - program (v.12.0.14, Windows Mobile) hangs. When I remove this build and use older maps, including the last build before this, everything works OK.

@mdx, I think that the data increase during the last two or three (already processed) updates is a sufficient indicator. Many countries are also "recovering" from the license change. and @asgalk, processing of countries with small .mca fil…

Funny routing
I have noticed the same problem, long ago. The problem is partially in the OSM data, partially in MapFactor Navigator. In your case, there is a turn restriction "only_straight_on" from the trunk to the primary road, but the "no_left_t…

Estimated time is too short
If your driving top speed is the same as the maximum allowed speed on a specific road, the later it is possible to achieve only in theory. Any hindrance (traffic, bends, crossings etc.) allow only a percentage of it, in my experience between 90% (mo…

By changing the order of data release there would be a few days more to edit / add some changes by users in OSM between your release of MCA files and your new collection of the planet.osm.bz2 file. Hard to tell. I would suggest: 1. criteria: downloa…

The current setting, as I see now, is correct for dense populated areas, big cities etc. I was thinking in the first place more about something like a new set of tags in the settings.xml. Maybe like "first visible zoom level" for each type…

Maybe a bit forgotten ... At higher zoom levels, there is no difference between tertiary roads and unclassified / residential roads. There should be some difference in colour or shading. And - buildings and residential areas are (nearly) the same c…

I agree with the writer above. (at least) Primary, secondary and tertiary roads from OSM should be visible on the map 2 zoom levels earlier, at lower zoom levels. Not everybody is driving only on motorways, and not every region is so dense with mot…

Is there a possibility to distinguish between tertiary roads (Local Road of High Importance) and unclassified/residential roads (currently Small Local Road)? There is only one zoom level (4 levels bellow the highest) where the first are shown and t…

Thank you for the highway_link explanation. It looks that some OSM data needs to be corrected. In the classification above (18.2.2011) you mentioned that "highway=road" is converted to "Other Road", which according to your class…

I had problems when using some motorways, Navigator Free didn't accept them as valid roads. First I thought that something was wrong with turn restrictions in the OSM database, but the data was OK. Then I realized that the problem is in your us…

Navigator Free has also a setting for Pedestrians. This setting changes the routing algorithm to ignore the "oneway" setting, which is OK. It also ignores turn restrictions, which is also OK, when there are pedestrian crossings and no phys…

Route recording
A little correction: the number in 200 is divided by 4, so for having a trail of 1800 seconds the number has to be 7200. The default trail_length of "200" gives you a trail of 50 seconds on the map.

I agree, the routing algorithm should distinguish between higher ranked roads and "other roads" for pedestrians and cicleways. My opinion is that service roads (at the moment a part of Small Local Road) should be counted. Already any thou…

Thank you, I changed it to 1800 and now it "trails" last 30 minutes. Excellent for tracing new routes and still knowing where I have already been.

I use Windows Mobile 6.5, route recording works very well with the default 1 second interval. The resulting data file can be imported in JOSM. My suggestion is about the trace, which is displayed when moving/driving: the default length is (as far as…
