Correct speed camera recognition, please! (Android/OSM)
Sorry, no idea. This morning I uninstalled, then reinstalled the speed cameras (option in the app), and each time checked every file both in SDcard/Android/data and in /data/data, but nowhere (including "Applog.txt") could I see anything w…

Reorganising saved routes (Android 8.1, MFN 7.2.23)
Has been solved - see for example https://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/10010/moving-favourites-into-folders#Item_3

Routing via footways
Appears to have been solved; I just tried again, with my standard Car profile (fastest, everything but "Other" active). I tried several start/end points on either side of the river and couldn't get MFN to select a route that used the …

Moving Favourites into folders
Step-by-step info I wrote in a different discussion: The functionality described by MacDony has effectively been realised. The steps to move Points: -define any number of new Points -open "Favourites" (renamed to "My Places"…

Motorway junction numbers (Britain)
Just a guess: the two apps on my device that use OSM maps (online or offline) don't show junction numbers either. Maybe MF simply renders OSM maps to fit their app without adding to them - after all, at least using TTS voices, the numbers are a…

Where does Navigator hide?
Still not there! I found this discussion.... https://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/9358/no-more-access-to-data-folder-android-11-12#Item_48 in "General" rather than in "Free", and in the last entry in this discussion tomas menti…

Where does Navigator hide?
PARTIAL (sort of) solution found: I prepared sending an email message to Mapfactor, with the logs that Navigator creates - and one of the log files is called ... downloader_.log.txt This file did indeed show the download paths of the stu…

Navigation of mini-roundabouts
IIRC, that is an OSM problem. Ten (or so) years ago I wanted to add two new features to OSM: -a clover leaf intersection between two Autobahns had had one point where crossing traffic caused lots of accidents; it had been modified (with an overpass …

Does the company still exist?
Problem appears to have been solved - I simply should not have transferred Navigator with a backup app, but reinstalled from the Play Store.Now I did uninstall/reinstall, and it works. Google even "warned" me that uninstalling would not en…

Does the company still exist?
Please explain/advise:In the Play Store I've got subscriptions for HD Traffic (next payment March 24) and the MegaPack (next payment December 23), and I use OSM maps. What exactly has "expired a long time ago" - and how do I get Navig…

Reorganising saved routes (Android 8.1, MFN 7.2.23)
@tomas Thanks - helpful hint, which reduces the problem; what remains is the fact that I have rather large fingers and find it quite hard to hit only the smallish "line with dots" (especially because it lies right next to the rounded edge …

How to get my backups back? [Android 8.1, Navigator 7.2.23]
Thanks, you two. Problem solved - sort of: I had several times changed the location of the backup directory, performed a backup, found it and moved all the old backups to the same place, closed/reopened Navigator - and the old ones were not shown. …

Map for Germany/West
@Roldorf Normally I would agree with you, but right now I feel almost inundated with new streets (mostly short but important ones, closing gaps and therefore making totally different routes possible), and a few kilometres of Autobahn, in those areas…

Searching for "exit", I found that the penultimate entry in the British section... TTS-USE-EXIT take the exit ...has no equivalent in the German section. I'll see what happens this afternoon when I'll be travellin…

Right - I'll take a look and see what I can do.

Ok - I'll try, though there isn't a single parking lot along the whole way, so I'd have to leave the autobahn first.

Nightmode in tunnels
...only if it's an option, please. I recently drove a rented car with an in-car satnav for a few days that did just this, and I found it rather annoying.

@tomas Not just that - on my way to and from work (fifty kilometres on five autobahns) between Bonn and Cologne, I often (especially on Sundays) find phantom traffic jams on Navigator that were there a day or two earlier, but no longer! Conversely…

Is there a length restriction for the tts texts (Android)?
Thanks; I'll not go overboard with length, then, but certainly enlarge all those two word instructions (three if I were to re-introduce that most annoying "now").

Any reaction from TomTom yet ? [-O< a week and a half ago, I set a personal "HD Traffic record" - going along 51 km of Autobahn quite early on Sunday morning, I was less than pleased when Navigator wanted to send me on a 75 km journ…

@tomas Thanks to the helpful link from florian's entry above I've finally found TomTom's online route planner. Currently there is no congestion around Bonn Nord, whereas on Navigator it's the same as always. On March 27 you told …

Well, I usually save Routes only when they have waypoints; mostly I go straight to my destination, in which case I simply use Favourites.

@2highlander Both the original and the backup are in the order of 20kB, but thanks for your input. THAT problem has now been solved; I copied Favourites and Routing_Points into the newly created Mapfacctor folder, and both are back. Apparently the a…

I did - but this whole thing keeps getting weirder. When I looked inside the Navigator folder in Android.data, that file was still there. Thinking that it might have become corrupted, I renamed its ending and copied the backup over. Result: no ro…

@tomas Hi, I just performed a Backup and Delete operation, then made only one change: activated HD Traffic in Advanced Settings. Unfortunately, after about a minute, "it" was back, looking exactly the same as before, with one little Conges…
