Test of Windows 8.1 MapFactor Navigator
One more question: Today I tested MF on Lollipop & WP8.1 (people looked funny at me, who the h*ck carries 2 phones on the dashboard?? :D), both freshly installed and no settings modified at all, on a ~30Km city route with many checkpoints. Both…

Test of Windows 8.1 MapFactor Navigator
I'm testing on two devices, Lumia 535 and BLU WinHD, both w/ WP8.1 and so far so good. The core funcionality as GPS app is superb and personally, I like the UI better than Android version. Thanks to MapFactor team for a fine app!! - Online POI…

Symbol cafe/pub
Hhhmm. Looking at other OSM nav apps, they have sensibly better suited icons indeed. But let's not discuss which beer is better. We could initiate 3rd World War right in this thread :-\"

Search address issue
What you mention depends on the map for your zone. For example, if I search for a street in my neighborhood, it could appear 2-3 times with different segments, letters or even ways to pronounce them (For me it counts as map error, and I try to fix …

Test of Android version 1.4.x
Whenever I try to restore default settings (from Menu > Advanced), the app force-closes and restarts right away. Can anyone confirm this? edit: with latest 1.4.22+ update

Routing and Recalculation
Suggestion: when routing with multiple waypoints, add a little button with function "ignore current waypoint, route to next one instead". And only if possible (android programming is not my thing), this could be mapped to a long press on a…

OSM and MapFactor are indeed "free" ...
I agree with hvdwolf, OSM maps in my country are better than many commercial providers (ahem Garm- cof cof), rivaling even Google Maps in quality and exactness thanks to our community. The only issue is house/building numbers, like in many other pla…

Repeat the last voice command
5 and counting up... What about a short tap on directions arrow to repeat last voice command, and a long tap to open itinerary?

Graphical improvements (antialiasing)
It's not about size but presentation :) scaling is not uniform between zoomlevels. Sometimes you tap zoom- or zoom+ once, and fonts become thin and hard to read (from dashboard distance), tap one more time and they look good again... . Like whe…

Graphical improvements (antialiasing)
I agree that routing and good UI while driving are the primary function of the software. MapFactor does that wonderfully. I never said more FPS, only a state-of-the-art improvement. Fonts are indeed more difficult to see compared to other apps, at …

Slow route recalculation ?
Gabriel, is your compass reliable enough?? Mine is pretty inaccurate, if I activate it, things get 'crazy' with recalculations and misdirections all over the place. Without it, Mapfactor (and othes apps) works fine. You can check it with s…

Test of Android version 1.4.x
New toolbar is handy, would be nice to have an option for showing/not showing text below icons. Some spanish strings make toolbar take almost half screen space... for example "Buscar el más cercano" (Find nearest) instead of, say, "B…
