Test of Android GLES Alpha Version
@Tantum and @mdx: The MNF application is a signed application. If the new application uses the same sign, but is apparently a different application (different manifest, different checksum, not an upgrade (or is it), same sign) you can't install…

I understand what you mean but this is very confusing.Why does the sign mention "Groningen Zwolle", but is it pointing to the exit. That is combined incorrect information.Especially when you mention the wikipedia article "The key dest…

Tags for highway exits?
I did not check this specific situation yet, but the first questions should be:- When were these tags set?- and did they function at that time? Were they set before or after the change in map creation 2 months ago? If they were set before that time…

Wikipedia / Wikivoyage articles as POI in Navigator
By now I created a great number of wikipedia files. Still no "real" utf-8 or utf-32 languages though as I have still issues parsing those wikipedia dumps (russian, greek, hebrew, chinese, japanese, farsi, hindi, arabic, etc.).For the time …

In that case I tend to think it is the map creation. They did change the map creation about 2 months(=2 map versions) ago. Since that time the problems arose.@mdx knows about this, but I (and probably he too) thought it had to do with the 1.6 versio…

In case anyone wants to try the scripts: Don't do it yet. I just rewrote one of the scripts again (partly that is). I finally got some intelligence back and changed the parsing approach as such. The scripts are now way faster, but I have to pro…

Hi all, almost there. I completely rewrote the scripts using a new approach. Then I switched to "in memory" processing as processing the wikipedia dumps could take up days to even a week, literally! The con of this "in memory" ap…

I see what you mean but it happened for the polish and German language. I had not even touched the arabic, chinese, or japenese languages. Maybe I will get more problems there.

I'm still working on it but it's tedious. I wrote many python scripts already, but chose a new strategy by now. Still breaking on some languages. @mdx: You mention "3 and more multibyte characters (Chinese, Japanese, ...)". Do yo…

@mdx: See comment 9551 above where I specify the coordinates. Or going from way-id 6505882 to way-id 6505867 and then taking the exit to way-id 6505874. The sign and the lane-assistant (bottom) show the right exit, but the sign displays the wrong t…

I also agree with Tomas. It just happened last Friday to me when I was driving in a city between (high) flats. Obviously GPS reception was partly blocked by the buildings and my position was not very accurate.

@mdx or @lubos, Are there "forbidden, unnallowed" characters in the mca files?Until now I created a NL, a CS and a DE wikipedia. The NL and CS are working fine. The DE crashes MNF. Of course the structure is the same and the mca is also cr…

Hi Martin, You are right and I was wrong. I use different "cleaning" search&replace options to make the text strings a bit cleaner. I had an error in there. Maybe it was not even an error but at least it generated incorrect csv strings…

Yes, that would do it for displaying them on the map, but it won't help for more accurate calculation of the route with regard of the time necessary.Note also that with mca files of more than 100.000 entries it get's very slow. The "…
