If you give the system's operating system, somebody will be able to help you here? Did you search the forum. There were similar questions too.

[Poland] Missing important changes in the latest updates
What is "a few weeks"? And yes, there is no fixed schedule, that you can be sure that you have your update on the same given day of a month. If changes in OSM data just miss the the date, when Mapfactor downloads the data file and process…

[Poland] Missing important changes in the latest updates
The question is, when have those changes be made to osm data? It could last two to three months for them to show up in MF Navigator data.

sceduled time of arrival / navigator free
This has been discussed earlier in this forum, but even I do not find it. Adjust, i.e. reduce substantially, the speed for such roads in the profile of the car (?) concerned.

F a s t Night Mode
That is, why I would like to change from automatic mode to a manual mode, which is accessible fast and not only via a big number of tabs.

F a s t Night Mode
When I started this morning, it was still dark outside. But the screen was already bright on day mode. So automatic mode does not match outside's brightness.

Test of Android version 1.4.x
@chattiewoman For me it is not possible as well to change "Application language" more than one time in a row. When changed one time and opened the dialogue again, the ok button is grey and not full colour. It becomes only full colour agai…

MapFactor OSM Data Processing
Very interesting, indeed. They have mapped each lane as separate way. https://www.google.de/maps/place/Vancouver,+Britisch-Kolumbien,+Kanada/@49.0094915,-123.1288831,375m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x548673f143a94fb3:0xbb9196ea9b81f38b I would have pre…

Navigating a pre-recorded route
How MF handels missed waypoints, is already discussed on other topics like http://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/comment/7681#Comment_7681 for example. There seems to be some room for improvments :-)

Android Version
In my opinion any update of the software does not concern already existing data. Also in 1.4.20 you have the choice between free and paid maps.

OSM and MapFactor are indeed "free" ...
You may be right in one sense. If I had spent 60 Euros or so to buy Navigon Navigator, I would not have spent so much time on the navigation software. But for me it is just fun to cooperate with a world wide community to improve software and maps. I…

Dangerous commands / screen on Zwickauer Straße in Chemnitz/Germany
I agree. That's why a simple "turn left" in all situations above is acceptable for me ;-)

Dangerous commands / screen on Zwickauer Straße in Chemnitz/Germany
This answer is too simple Tomas. Do you really accept, that Navigator may cause serious accidents (at least on the intersection Reichstraße/Zwickauer Straße)? On the two other intersections it is much more obvious for a driver, how he has to drive. …

Dangerous commands / screen on Zwickauer Straße in Chemnitz/Germany
For the first, it is definitely wrong as Navigator commands. If you use the straight lanes, you must go straight further on into Reichsstraße. It is forbidden to turn left into Zwickauer Straße from the go straight lanes and would be extremely dange…

As far as I understand it, MapExplorer is only part of the commercial version of Navigator. http://www.mapfactor.com/en/products/mapexplorer/mapexplorer/

Bought TomTom maps, see no difference on Android Navigator
That is what I said. It is for German data only! But it may be worthwile to check your own country's OSM data for similar development. Even more since the study is now three years old and the OSM community seems still to grow. Sorry if I made y…

[SOLVED] take the first exit (always)
Tomas is right. Look here, how it is mapped in OSM: If you enter the roundabout, this is really the first exit. That is, why I mentioned in another post http://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/6126/half-right-or-straight-direction#Item_2, that it may …

Because I use Navigator as often as for navigation just to look after itineraries at home. There I don't need and want night mode.
