Routes not being saved
I have updated to 7.3.21 through Google Play and I am pleased to say that routes are saving correctly. I will try 7.3.7 soon.

It seems to save tbe route which appears in the list but after logging back in again it is not there. I've tried this several times with the same result

CAZ & ULEZ
Hi RogerI tried the GreenZones app a couple of years ago but found it at best - misleading and in some cases actually incorrect. I realise that it would be most difficult to include all the parameters to exclude a vehicle based on emissions and vehi…

Skoda Smartlink and Android Auto
It is being reported that Sygic has announced a beta version of their app with support for Android Auto. Does that mean that the tools are now available for Navigator?

Skoda Smartlink and Android Auto
I notice that Google have just release Android Auto 5.8. The reviews seem rather short on facts but I'm guessing that the ability to change 'wallpaper' doesn't really help with navigation! Are we waiting for version 6.0?

That would have been nice, but do you have a more up to date expectation. Are we waiting for Google then?

Imported POI as mca file not working with newest version
Hi Frank I am experiencing a similar problem. The mca files display the correct icon but 'get info' displays nothing. The same files work correctly on my phone (Android 6.0.1) using OSM . However my tablet 7.1.1 only shows icons using eith…

POI anomaly
Even stranger! I have checked POIs on my phone which uses OSM. Some POIs appear (but not all) but nothing on tablet with TomTom truck maps. Both versions up tp 3.1.100

Hi WayneI am a motorhome owner with a vehicle over 3.5 tonnes. I thought truck maps would be a good thing. I discovered many apparent routing anomalies where I would be diverted from what might seem a logical route. The reason was because there are …

Morocco maps
Hi chattiewoman. Well I would agree with you but I sort of recall reading that the TomTom Europe maps included Morocco and thought 'that's good as we are going there'. Having looked at TomTom's website I can't see Morocco in…

Truck tomtom maps
Hi Tomas That sounds more reasonable but how do I do this? When I open Map Manager on my tablet I am offered a standard upgrade for €10 or purchase Truck Maps for €49.99!

Hi Tomas How much to upgrade from standard to truck maps?

Truck tomtom maps
Your reply arrives as I was composing last comment! Re upgrade - how much would that be for Android version? Does the program change too or is it just different data in the map file?

Truck tomtom maps
Just looked at TomTom website. It appear that they update the maps 4 times a year as follows 2014 Feb v925 May v930 Aug v935 Nov v940 However there is no clue to the changes made between versions and no correlation to Navigator map updates.

Truck tomtom maps
Hi Tomas Yes I saw that but where does it tell you what version is currently installed? Would TomTom recognise version 51 if I aked them or is that MapFactor's numbering? What about upgrading from standard to truck?

Hi Oldie Yes I saw that but it is only for version 12! On the PC it was different before Navigator Free and you paid for the program which included the maps. Now the program is free and you pay for maps but Map Explorer seems to have disappeared. …

I have been using TomTom maps for several years for use with my motorhome. Although not as large as a truck Navigator recently tried to route me down a road with a 2m width restriction. I did wonder whether upgrading to the truck version would be po…

Hi Dyk I spent 8 weeks touring Western USA in an RV using the Open Street Maps on an Android tablet. I had no problems with them whatsoever. I am considering a return visit to USA but would not bother to upgrade to TomTom maps. However in Europe th…

Sharing locations
Most sat nav co-ordinates are stored as degrees and decimals. However in the Navigator 'favourite.xml' they are in 'milliarcseconds'. To convert to the former divide milliarcseconds by 3600000 (60x60x1000)

Converting the Komoot gpx file into a format that is compatible with Navigator can be done with XSL translation. It is not 'rocket science' but was not that easy to achieve. However the real problem is the number of individual points that …

This sounds cool! I have created a GPX file in Komoot and placed it in the folder you suggest, but I cannot see how to display/replay it!
