    Zdravim,

    android 4.1.2
    navigator 2.2.27

    po aktualizacii na tuto verziu, ide hlas velmi slabo, po instalacii je oznacene len "use SCO protocol for bluetooth audio" , pomohlo mi zmenit nastavenie na  "Media"

    myslim, ze v zaklade to nieje nastavene spravne

    en(google): After updating to this version, it is very weak voice, after the installation is indicated as "use SCO protocol for Bluetooth audio" , helped me change the setting to "Media"

    I think that in basis that is not set correctly

    @tomas , @hvdwolf - I am in the "Other colours" but I cannot see anything for the navigation arrow.

    There are 4 choices for route highlight only

    please send me a screenshot...

     - you are right, default setting was incorrect
     - automatic renderer chooses HW/SW renderer depends which is faster for your device
     - functions like choosing GPS arrow colour have to be implemented in both renderers(actually noone did it in SW renderer), it is same like that projection wasnt avaible in 2.1.x versions for HW renderer

    Hello all,

    updated to the beta version 2.2.7 yesterday. I had to wait about 10min with faded screen until menu was availlable.

    But now program starts normal and first tests with addresses in Ireland from phone book for navigation worked well. Will make a trip tomorrow.

    BTW: Is there a change history with major points updated in this version?

    Weird... the fifth row is missing on my screen (and maybe also on stavrich's..)
  • Vote Up0Vote Down OldieOldie
    I don't yet have this version, but may be you just have to move the screen a little bit upwards? I had that earlier, that part of the screen were just hidden but could be made visible ...
  • Vote Up0Vote Down IU0BMPIU0BMP
    That's not the case with me.. I see only the first four rows and they take less than half the screen (in height). No big deal with me. I personally don't feel the need to change the arrow's colour.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down stavrichstavrich
    Fifth row is missing on mine as well. I get 4 rows (and before anyone blames my Blackberry :)  ) on both my Blackberry Z30 and Samsung galaxy S3.

    Try to change to hardware render
  • Vote Up0Vote Down stavrichstavrich
    Changing to Hardware render the 5th option appears.
    Switching back to Automatic or Software render the 5th option disappears 
    Changing arrow colour while in Hardware render changes the whole arrow to the chosen colour ( whole arrow turns to one colour only)
    Changing back to Automatic or Software render the arrow reverts back to the default 2-colour.

    I think it needs to be looked at..
  • Vote Up0Vote Down stavrichstavrich
    @lubos - first of all many thanks for the "change log". I would have never found or know about the "Map toolbar" changes and especially the "skip waypoint" (and I will be testing soon). 

    Publishing a brief "change log" it's beneficial to both parties - we get to know about them, test them and advise you - so... please continue =D>

    As for the arrow - it works on HW rendered but not on SW renderer

    ked si nasimulujete tuto trasu, tak cca. v mieste startu Vam navigacia zahlasi "po 500m odbocte dolava" (neskor: po 200m odbocte dolava) , odbocit vpravo nehlasi, lebo sa inak neda ist?

    when you simulate the route and the starting point you navigate reports an "after 500 meters turn left" (later: after 200 meters turn left), turn right not vote because they can not otherwise go?

    I have had
    a small trip, navigating with version 2.2.28. When I used Wold-Miller cylindrical
    projection everything was ok, but when I used Wold-Mercator cylindrical projection,
    the navigation highlight line often disappeared for 15 seconds or so, and then
    came back again.

    2.2.28 with hardware renderer on Samsung S5 mini, Android 5.1.1

    I have constant crashes with 2.2.28. I'm currently on a business trip and I simply can't use Navigator. 
    If I select a destination and tap "Navigate" it crashes.
    If it doesn't crash immediately, it crashes after 3 seconds to 2 minutes.
    If I zoom in on the map and tap to select the destination (you try all kind of things), it crashes.
    I have rebooted numerous times. I did 4 trips now and not on one single trip I could use Navigator.

    I did not try software renderer because even if that one works it is not relevant: hardware renderer should simply work.


    Fortunately I have another nav app still on my phone.

    Hello,
    I tested the TCP-Commands in 2.1.97, 2.2.28 and 2.2.33.
    The command "$navigation_statistics" did not work as described in the manual.
    The result should like this "1800,120,1800,120" in meters and seconds.
    But what i get is: "1.8,00:02:16,1.8,00:02" or "464,00:00:35,464,< 00:01" if distance is less than 500m and time less than 1min.
    It seems that result is a copy of the stings in the info-panel.
    The PC version works as expected.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down MatthiasMatthias
    It should be possible to disable the Testing of integrity of data. I removed all data and copied new data in that folder from pc and navigator try testing integrity again without any reason. Only starting without data and close and copy backup data again solve the annoying problem. I was on a big tour and changed from hw renderer to sw renderer and after this navigator want testing the integrity from the half world. No Navigation System anymore on a strange place without a reason. This testing need hours.

    The HW renderer works not properly, when Zoom 100% i can only move the map vertically or horizontal but not 45 degrees over the screen. And the map stop not when i stop the finger, this i dont like. It seems the moving is to heavy for my Galaxy Xcover3, also in 2.2.33. Its a little bit smoother, but it need more time for showing house numbers and sometimes it stuck.

    Hardware render problems in v.2.2.33 seem to be solved. I have noticed that when you tough the screen the menu that used to appear on the right of the screen (departure, waypoint, destination etc.) now appears on the bottom. The information option is no longer present in that menu.

  • Vote Up0Vote Down hvdwolfhvdwolf
    @tvo: Not as criticism, but purely out of curiosity: Why do you mention the projection? 
    On low zoomlevels, looking from "high above" there is of course a big difference between Miller and Mercator. However when you are on a totally zoomed-in level during navigation I don't see differences. Do you?

    -HW renderer - movement extrapolation fixed (thanks @Matthias)

    -settings - screen orientation locking added into advanced
    -translations - cz,nl,ro,sl

    @blubb - Without internet we are not able to convert address to coordinates so it cannot work
    @Matthias - Navigator creates during restart engines navigator.lock in navigator folder, if you kill navigator and delete this file then it loads normaly. Problem with moving was that it was calculated in pixels, I changed calculation to DPI and it seems it works well now.

    Mercator projection is new in HW renderer and because of this projection there is need to load more data than in Miller projection. We are glad that someone is testing it, thank you.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down tvotvo
    @hvdwolf, yes  @IU0BMP tells the reason. I tested Mercator projection, because it is new for HW rendere, and we are beta testers. By the way, there are small differences between Miller and Mercator projection during navigation. The roundabouts are more circular for Mercado compared with Miller, but of course this is not a big issue for me.

    I am not sure but has the sound output been reduced on both Bluetooth and smartphone with the last 2 versions? I am more concerned with the bluetooth output in my motorcycle helmet.

    I dont think is as loud as it used to be.

    Has anybody else noticed any difference.

    What do you mean with, you lost your default settings? Apart from the incorrect application language, I could not find anything like that.

    The only thing I found: As Navigation voice, I previously had set up Voice engine = Record voices, Voice language = German (Doris). Doris died .... er, is not selected anymore; there is simply nothing now, and I cannot choose anything here, probably because I have to download voices first ....?

    I see the same problem as @hurdygurdyman "Application language" is always English no matter what language I choose.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down hurdygurdymanhurdygurdyman
    It's just the menu-language (application). I didn't check routing advices, cause I just planned a new route.
    Edit.
    Checked navigation voice with route simulation. It's German as set.

    I can confirm as well. Application language is always english.
    Navigation instructions are in the correct, chosen TTS language.
