You can generally avoid motorways by editing your car profile or editing the route settings.

Naming of waypoints and missed waypoints
@hvdwolf What is difference then to tap "Stop navigation" for pausing, and "Navigation" for resuming? The waypoints are still stored.

Routing and Recalculation
I left the calculated route twice on my last journey, and both times, on totally different places, the recalculation took longer. Hence I got the impression that it always takes a bit longer than in earlier versions, but I will check that on future …

Routing and Recalculation
I don't know what kind of answer you are expecting :-) I use Navigator regularly and have tested lots of versions. Hence: if something changes (or takes longer/shorter than before), then most likely I will detect it. When I used it yesterday, I…

Routing and Recalculation
By the way, since testing the Android 1.4.x version(s), the route recalculation has really lost some performance.

Yes

Test of Android version 1.4.x
I am unsure whether I have tried. However, Navigator should return to old volume then. And why did language settings solve it for me?

Enable / Disable voice announcement of waypoints
First of all - what is your actual language? You can install any tts voice you like. I am using Google tts in my native language. Once installed or activated (my Google tts app was deactivated) you can use it in Navigator language settings.

If you are using tts voice, you can edit the tts.xml (in Navigator folder) and delete the text "waypoint reached". Or you can replace it with any other text you prefer.

Test of Android version 1.4.x
During my last trip with navigation enabled, Navigator suddenly lost its tts voice: the navigation ran fine, just the voice was missing. Reason: I have no proof, but I think this was triggered when I received a phone call on my device, even though I…

Could somebody else please try to reproduce the languages issue? You will have to change the language setting two times in a row.

Dangerous commands / screen on Zwickauer Straße in Chemnitz/Germany
Tomas, what about No. 2 and 3? No. 2: Could Navigator treat the split highways as one and turn the instruction into a left instead of straight instruction? No. 3 seems to be here: http://osm.org/go/0MIY4BDaU?m=&way=37289330. I suppose the firs…

Dangerous commands / screen on Zwickauer Straße in Chemnitz/Germany
I can confirm that behaviour from other places, as split streets in conbination with turn lanes have always been an issue for Navigator. But I do not say it is the fault of Navigator. Look, normally when using turn lanes (e.g. here left|left|throug…

Hallo Teo, eigentlich ist dies ein englischsprachiges Forum ;-) Dass du die Karten vorher heruntergeladen hast, ist natürlich Voraussetzung. Inwiefern war dir das nicht möglich? Du benötigst mindestens West- und Süddeutschland; eventuell auch Ostde…

Yes, "[distance] folgen" would also be OK.

Test of Android version 1.4.x
I was coming from a newer version than 1.4.19, so maybe the following issue only affected me. Maybe others could check it too. After the update (or better: downgrade) to 1.4.19, my (recalculated) Itinerary looked like this: Only after changing th…

Slow route recalculation ?
I can't confirm that, although running on a rather slow device. Could it be that there are some other apps working in the background? If you have your maps on SD card: is it a fast one? The higher the class, theoretically the faster it is. Mine…

Mad map crashed Android App - re-download map(s)
I am also using K9 and faced the same problems when sending logs. The email was received, but nothing attached. So I assumed this is a K9 bug. However, I did not test sending to my own address, and viewing the result on PC.

Split ways lead to wrong instructions
Thanks, it will be changed. Currently us local mappers do not share the same opinion about how to solve, but this should not be anybody else's concern :-)

Tomas, but apparently the app just checks which map type is currently (!) chosen, regardless the downloaded TomTom maps.

Speed Indication
You are already using the latest version. Can you remember where approximately the wrong sign appeared? If so, use the map to define start and end point, calculate the route and run the simulation under tools to find the exact position.
