Mapfactor (Free) can't find updates
I understand now, but it is confusing.It does mention "Last update". Maybe it is better to indeed rename that column header to "Latest Release" or "Latest Version". It doesn't matter whether the actual map is 1 day…

@Nigel and @Tomas: @riru is right. The webpage riru refers to (http://navigatorfree.mapfactor.com/en/maps/ ) does mention that the France South and West maps are indeed from 6 and 4 January. If that is not correct (and it isn't), then why does …

Show traffic lights on map (2017 version)
I know it can be controlled from that setting but on android 5.1 in hardware renderer you need to set the icon size to the max value.

Show traffic lights on map (2017 version)
Hi, I created a new "release" 2017-1.1. Files can be downloaded from https://github.com/hvdwolf/Navigator-traffic_lights/releases/tag/2017-1.1 The files are much bigger now, but compared to the country maps they are still very small. Note …

Show traffic lights on map (2017 version)
I rewrote the script and the digger config and I am now rerunning it. Some mca files don't change at all in size. Some are 10 to 60 (!) times bigger.For example: France 28KB ->1.1MBGermany: 69KB to 3MB (and Berlin now has lots and lots of tr…

The problem is gpsbabel. I convert from an .osm format, containing all traffic lights, to gpx. A lot of traffic lights "get lost".If I convert to csv they are all in the csv file. In other words: I will rewrite the script to output csv, co…

@tomas: That is exactly what I reported in the 3.0 test results here. The hardware renderer does not scale the icons correctly. Not for any POI icon.

@tomas: What do you mean with show on map? I did not need to activate anything. To make sure I disabled all POIs and restarted Navigator and they still show on the map. If you look at the picture of my other post about day/night colors you can see t…

Sorry. I can't reproduce. Neither when switching from night-mode to automatic, nor from night mode to "off" (being day mode). Samsung S5 mini, stock android 5.1.1, navigator 3.0.43

Change position of info panels in landscape mode
The new 3.0 version has now configurable panel sizes: small, medium, large.With small the vertical loss is of course less than 10%, with large it is even more.I am currently using small panel size, but from the car chair to the windscreen on a 4.5&q…

@lubos : Sorry. That was indeed a bad bug report :) See below two (reduced sized) images. The bug occurs both in hardware renderer as well as in software renderer. The roadsign is shown first: A split-second (or so) later, the lane-assistant is also…

OK, I had not looked in that area: 9 euro per year is a good price. I did check last night, without purchasing anything. However, this morning I got the very scary message "There are no maps installed or some required data is missing. Do you wa…

What I did see right now is that motorway signs are overlayed in the top-left of the screen. However, when the "lane assistant" is displayed, the motorway sign is shifted downward equally.In landscape mode it even moves slightly behind the…

Lubos mentioned: "Between 3.0.34 and 3.0.39 our SoundPlayer class was rewrItten quite lot ". This afternoon using the 3.0.39 on the 2 hours back trip, the bluetooth audio functioned fine but I did not notice other differences.

@sun1 and @sobrus: These are propietary maps. So don't ask questions on this forum that lead to illegal actions. The fact that @robertkeem2015 mentions they cost 123 UK Pounds makes that very clear. @tomas: Can you please remove these posts f…

Handle highway=mini_roundabout the same way as junction=roundabout during routing
I agree. The document @Tomas attached makes that even more clear where they draw how a car "should" use the roundabout. The example image @Tomas attached is indeed so small that it almost asks you to go straight on. However, those specific…

Handle highway=mini_roundabout the same way as junction=roundabout during routing
a mini-roundabout is often enough more than a painted circle, but it is never very big.I think though that they should be treated as roundabouts. When going straight on you can traverse the inner (painted) circle. Standard "going straight on&qu…

I know a little bit about the several bluetooth protocols but I'm no expert whatsoever on the implementation in the different apps or in Navigator. There is a difference between SCO and A2DP within the bluetooth protocols (and there are more). …

I sometimes still use (abuse) MNF by switching off the SCO protocol and using the external app "Mono Bluetooth Router". For me that works very good. No pause before and after the message, and no somewhat late instructions.Using "phone…
