A tutorial on POI
Can you search your own POIs? You do that from the POI screen, but you do not use the normal search, but the imports search. In that screen you simply select the imported POI file, type (part of) the name of the gas station. And as Tomas mentioned:…

Wrong locations when storing GPS / My Places on Mallorca
I can't confirm this but normally when using Wi-Fi you are talking about A-GPS. A-GPS is only used if you have only 2 GPS locations, which means that you need the WiFi position as 3rd position. This gives you an estimated accuracy of 10-50 mete…

handle display of loaded GPX track like a route
You are right. There is a tool though to modify album.style. It is http://www.directions.ltd.uk/mapconfig/map%20editor.rarI never used it as I'm comfortable with colours and style.

Map simplification?
Some of them work fine now in the new early-maps. Probably a slight mismatch between commit date and planet generation date even though it was 3 days apart. Some others are still not working and these are the long ones. Could it be a string length p…

Cannot calculate route from Romania to Cyprus or from Turkey to Cyprus ( osm )
I downloaded Turkey and Cyprus and it works for me. Not from Alanya, but from Tasucu. Same when calculating the route from http://map.project-osrm.org/ Edit: The road to the ferry in Alanya was tagged as a service road. As it is a general road with…

Cannot calculate route from Romania to Cyprus or from Turkey to Cyprus ( osm )
Just to make sure as first question: Did you disable ferries in your Car profile? Edit: You need to enable small local roads which is disabled by default. (Note: I always enable small local roads as Navigator sometimes gives really weird routes or …

You can easily set the track color in Settings -> Map colors. I don't know about the line width. Maybe it is somewehere in album.style.

Obviously the RouteImporter application converts track files to routable points in Navigator, which is nice (as long as there are not too much track points)However, I imported your file as well but I can't make a route out of it. Also when dele…

[SOLVED] Mapfactor stops with shared location (URI Intent) in Android
Ok. What I meant with "I created an app for myself which uses this as well...". The app is a "add POIs" app that checks whether the navigation app already has a POI in it's maps at that location or not. so I don't need…

Starting from 1.4.7? Which version are we talking about? Android is still at 1.3.43. I created an app for myself which uses this as well and already works for some time.

No they are not. Please don't ask me why, but this is the default naming since Android 4.1

Most probably your /storage/sdcard0 is your sdcard and /storage/sdcard1 is your internal memory but I'm not sure. Can you request properties of the several partitions. If you have 4GB internal memory (leaving perhaps 1.5GB due to android itself…

Thake a look at the size of the partitions. Especially on Andorid 4.1 there were a lot of /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard pointing to internal memory, where as /mnt/extsd or /extsd were pointing to the real sdcard.

I'm not french so I hoped one of the french would jump in. I'm almost a 100% sure she says: "Prenez la bretelle d'accès dans 500 metre." (Take the sliproad in 500 meters). And if I throw that in Google translate it seems co…

As a little side step: I consider the "destination:lanes" and their variations just as important (here and here: maybe superfluous but to stimulate others :) ). The destination:lanes give you the blue/green/yellow motorway signs in the top…

In this case I assume that you mean with "online" that you have a GPS fix, which is something else than being online via data connection or WiFi. My addresses in my contacts contain street, housenumber, city, postcode, and sometimes countr…

How often does MapFactor Navigator actually update its maps from the OSM site?
There is a misconception here. To start with: I'm very happy to have a new map every month. Geofabrik and planet.openstreetmap both deliver in the osm.pbf format. The difference between planet.openstreetmap.org and Geofabrik is that planet de…

Adding an arbitrary waypoint for route?
It is mostly a case of not zooming in enough. If you are on detail level it almost always works instantaniously. I assume that when you are on a lower zoomlevel your fingers (everyones fingers) are too thick to select a precise part of the map. Also…
