Mapfactor won't show routes
What exactly are you doing, when picking your target? If you just set as target, Navigator will not (yet) navigate. You either have to "navigate" after selecting the address or, in case you just had "set as target" tap "N…

Translation bug "Take exit (number)"
Interestingly the GLED Version does not indicates exit numbers at all. Ist just shows the street or exit name. Above topic was started for the "normal" Playstore version.

Test of Android GLES Alpha Version
@chattiewoman Thanks. Fonts are bigger now. Although street names are flashing on hardware rendering, while there are shown constantly on software rendering on my Xperia Active. Interestingly hardware rendering seem to be much more stable on my ol…

Test of Android GLES Alpha Version
MFN now starts on my ASUS K004 with hardware rendering as exspected and I am now "on the road" (see above post, where I was in the wild). But a simulation crashes after one to two kilometers on a trip of 481 km whereas I stopped simulation…

ETA computation in urban areas with OSM data: what is the urban trigger?
That is the same everywhere. There are many posts in this forum already complaining that it is very difficult if not impossible to get to your destination in urban areas at the time MFN has calculated. I experienced this just on Saturday evening co…

Test of Android GLES Alpha Version
I am simulating a route on my tablet (Asus K004, jelly bean). With software rendering it seems to work, but I see no difference to the play store version. With hardware rendering, the navigation arrow is flying somewhere in the wild but not on the s…

New Profile "sea" Navigation near Coasts and lakes
For river and lake navigation you may use Oruxmaps together with the river profile of brouter (see playstore).

Example for a difference between OSM and Navigator free maps
Also bei mir routed MFN direkt nach links und nicht erst rechts. Neueste Deutschlandkarte und letzte MFN Version aus dem Playstore.

Public Data
hvdwolf is certainly right. You must not mix up public data with open data.

No Voice response during navigation mode
I see on the screenshot, that bluetooth is on. I have this problem: http://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/comment/8411#Comment_8411, where voice commands are automatically directed from MFN to Bluetooth if bluetooth is on. But if there is no bluetoo…

Long address path to .gpx files
The path to my phone via Windows Explorer (phone connected via USB) is Computer\Xperia active\SD-Karte\navigator\gpx. Since the OS is Android Icecream Sandwich, this is rather short. Your path looks ok for me for later versions of Android. You coul…

Tom Tom map trial?
@tomas When you say "interface" is that also how the maps look like or do tomtom maps in MFN have there own typical tomtomlike appearance?

Adding height profile to routes and other improvement suggestions
I think that these maps contain altitude information That is one reason, why openandromaps for example for Germany are double as big (1,6 GB) as MFN maps (0,8GB). If you use hillshading and brouter with openandromaps you even need something as 0,5 …

Search by address bug or feature?
To me it seems, that streets are also divided by suburbs. My private street Senefelderstraße in Chemnitz ist listed for the suburb of Lutherviertel one time, and two times for Bernsdorf, so alltogether three sections. At this point of search, there …

OSM Coverage in France (Normandy)
We enjoyed our trip very much and MFN was very useful. OSM data near Cherbourg seem to be quite detailed, what was even more useful for biking with Oruxmaps. We had no paper backup execpt a green Michelin guide from 2000 (the - sometimes very small …

Map downloads extremely slow
Today I had an amazing 4MB/s download rate at home using the Windows Setup Utility. At home we have cable internet connection.

Change the color of those triangles
A little bit old fashioned though, as the main navigation arrow, but I don't really mind about that.

Ok, this makes sense!

Constantly says to take sliproad off of highway just to go back on the highway
I disagree, he is complaing about routing (as @crkook84 did at the beginning of this topic - and not as pedestrian ;-) )

What is the purpose of this trace anyway?

@Dave Did you really bother about sounds? Or more about routing? @tomas Do the sound settings have any influence on routing?
