Hello,

While using the MapFactor Navigation Free v1.3.43 with an OpenStreet map on Android 4.4.4, at a roundabout I was supposed to take the 3rd exit and the route was correctly displayed on the map. Instead of "take the third exit" I got "take the first exit". Just for kicks I did that. It recalculated the route, I directed me to return to the roundabout, but instead of "take the second exit" I got "take the first exit". Again I did it and again upon aproaching the roundabout I got "take the first exit", this time correctly.

I don't know if it'a a glitch in the map or if it's a bug in the program but, as the route was correctly displayed on the map (ie 3rd exit), I'd suspect a bug. You can see the intersection here: https://www.google.com/maps/@44.3895586,26.11813,17z?hl=en; I was coming from S-W (Strada Nitu Vasile) and going to N-E (same street name).

I'll try it on another roundabout and let you know what happens.

Thank you,
Alex

I think that 7you do not join roundabout until you cross boulevard Obregia and then it is first exit

Tomas is right. Look here, how it is mapped in OSM: If you enter the roundabout, this is really the first exit. That is, why I mentioned in another post http://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/6126/half-right-or-straight-direction#Item_2, that it may not be reliable just to listen to voice commands. Always have a look to the display.

Thank you for the answers. For some reason it didn't occur to me to check OSM (d'oh!) and now it makes perfect sense.

At the moment I was just testing to see if it's feasible to just follow the voice commands (as I new the way), so I guess I got my answer :)

I found issue with more complicated roundabout.

There are restrictions 'only straight on', so from South to North there should be the second exit,

should't it?

England is the champion when it comes to complicated roundabouts!
See Hatton Cross near Heathrow: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/51.46783/-0.42291 (or better via Bing: http://binged.it/1AZsDSO or Google: https://www.google.nl/maps/@51.4676927,-0.4231278,19z)
Or the magic roundabout at Hemel Hempstead : https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/51.56281/-1.77135
They even have a few more in Colchester, Swindown, High wycombe.

I even came across one somewhere near Bognor Regis, Littlehampton or Worthing (can't find it back now), that had 5 or 6 spokes AND a road going straight ahead over the roundabout.
(And did I already tell you that they drive on the wrong side of the road :) )

Quite impressive! ;-)

The last is the best, looks like .... Admin may del my post.
And what about my case. It is good to know that more complicated roundabout should be checked. For me this node may be not connected, but it is not approved in OSM.

(Btw)
One man drives down the motorway, and hears a radio message - please, be careful, one man drive wrong side of the street! -Only one, he thinks?-there are thousands of them!
