Saint-Gingolph - strange routing
  • Vote Up0Vote Down JambaFeeJambaFee
    Interesting behaviour with a route from 46.393005 / 6.804990  to 46.393532 / 6.803965 (lat / long). It’s in Saint-Gingolph, first one on swiss side, second one on french side of the city, about 100 m away from each other. Navigator plans a route which is almost 174 KM long (car with motorway and toll-road).

    Same route on http://map.project-osrm.org looks better (320 m) while Google Maps goes directly (99 m). I don’t know which one is actually correct but I don’t think the Navigator-route is.

    P.S.: Same from 46.249342 / 6.846952 to 46.25038678 / 6.845621161. Seems like Navigator doesn't like the border between Switzerland and France.

    I tried both routes and have no problem
    see if your maps are from the same month

    Tomas, you are right, the map of France was from August, Switzerland from December. The setup-utility never offered me an update of the map of France, but searching the forum I found out that there is a new version, consisting of 4 parts. I suppose this is what causes the weird behaviour.

    It took me a while to find out how to get these parts downloaded. After copying them to my android-device the former incorrect routing worked fine there. Now I'm trying for hours to find out how to get the french maps to work in the PC-version of Navigator, without success until now. Even after a complete cleaning of the PC, activating the early map access, downloading and reinstalling the setup-utility and the application I find every map I download in PC-Navigator, but not the french one.

    At a few places I read about a PC Navigator version 12.3.0, but mine still is 12.1.0, only the setup-utility is 12.3.0. Any hints what I am doing wrong?

    JambaFee, yes, you have to install new PC Navigator. The recognition of updates fails sometimes - one way is to delete existing installation (the path is something like
    c:\ProgramData\Navigator\12.3\Install\setup_pc_navigator.exe
    and it will force setup utility to download new installation.
    thanks for report

    That was an the important hint - to delete the setup_pc_navigator.exe-file. The trick is: If you change the path for "downloadable content" e.g. to X:\PATH this setup-file is stored in the directory "X:\PATH\Install" and has to be deleted from there. I never did this before and obviously therefore always got the old version installed.

    Now finally I also have version 12.3.0 installed. Which leads to the next error (see thread "PC Navigator - Settings - About").
