    Two crashes/freezes today and unfortunately the debug level was on 2

    On the second crash the announcement went haywire repeating the next or last 3-4 instructions.   Below are the screenshots at the crash/freeze and the link of the two logs

    This is outside this thread but I thought I should bring it to your attention
     
    Soon I will not be able to post images using my DropBox account as they will be removing the Public folder.
    The annoying thing is that any images posted to this forum via Dropbox will seize to be available after March.

    More than likely other cloud providers will follow suit.

    The safest way is to be able to upload images directly to the forum - can this function be enabled?

    Have been very busy and not had much time to test the latest build but I have been comparing HD Traffic reporting on Navigator with another app that also uses HD Traffic and am seeing a lot of missing reports on Navigator.  These are mainly road works that I know exist and are correctly reported on the other app.  Not sure about traffic congestion but will try to monitor this as well. The icons obviously still need sorting as it makes it very messy.

    During last week the road bridge acrros the river Forth in Edinburgh was closed. I plotted a route across the bridge expecting a 35-40 miles detour but MFN with HD traffic plotted a 5 mile route across the bridge? It was a calculated route using the Tools menu & not an actual journey. HD traffic accessed from the Tools menu did indicate that the bridge was closed.

    I have only parkings and petrol stations selected. Now I'm on holiday and wanted to enable hotels as well. I can select them but my selection is not saved (and therefore not displayed).

    -Distance measuring fixed
    -HD traffic crash fixed
    -HW renderer crashes fixed
    -HW renderer freezing fixed

    @Jan_Gruuthuse - try please last version
    @stavrich - I need logs on high debug to fix that crash but maybe we already fixed it
    @hvdwolf - problem with selected POI is only in hotels and restaurants(it is because these POIs are in more than one category). We are working on fix. About rendering icons in HW renderer, size of icons is fixed but zoom visibility is still incorrect

  • Vote Up0Vote Down amlumsdenamlumsden
    Sorry, I didn't get back regarding problems with HD Traffic.  It is very slow in connecting and the majority of road work reports listed in the traffic report are not shown on the map.  Furthermore, the colour choices for indicating congestion do not stand out on UK colour scheme (yellow).  We should be able to change this as required.

  • Vote Up0Vote Down amlumsdenamlumsden
    I was hoping for a response as to why HD Traffic takes so long to populate (don't have that with a competitor's product) and why road works are not displayed on the map.  Does the app take into account delays when calculating the route and is this included in the overall journey time?
  • Vote Up0Vote Down tomastomas
    what do you call 'so long'?
    I have them more or less instantly and visible

    yes, calculated route depends on traffic
  • Vote Up0Vote Down amlumsdenamlumsden
    imageimageIt can take up to 3 or 4 minutes for all traffic reports to populate with traffic queues being relatively quick but all others taking this time (see photos).

    You have not responded to my question regarding road works.  Why are these not displayed on the map?


  • Vote Up0Vote Down tomastomas

    3.0.50, onAndroid 5.1.1 
    I have been on holiday past week. The previous verion (3.0.46?) crashed twice.
    On the way home I tried the 3.0.50 version but I could not get TTS to work. I restarted twice but could only choose "silent mode" or "recorded voices".
    Another nav app worked OK with TTS
  • Vote Up0Vote Down tomastomas
    I can select TTS, but I have 3.0.53


  • Vote Up0Vote Down chattiewomanchattiewoman
    I have 3.0.50 too, but my TTS engine (Google TTS) is still selectable.

    But I found another bug: Although I am using the Mega Pack, and it is still activated, I receive ads when I close Navigator. This was not the case in earlier versions.

  • Vote Up0Vote Down amlumsdenamlumsden
    Tomas, sorry to keep asking but as HD Traffic is yet another premium, I need to fully understand and compare it with your competitors.  At present, only road closures and traffic queues are displayed on the map as far as I can see.  There are no roadworks shown on the map although these are listed on the HD Traffic page (which is slow in populating).
  • Vote Up0Vote Down tomastomas
    please click on a closed road in the HD traffic list and select Show on map
    some roadworks are displayed as slow traffic as road is partly open
  • Vote Up0Vote Down amlumsdenamlumsden
    I can click on roadwork links and show on map but they don't show as I posted previously.  I don't have a problem with closed roads or slow traffic, just the fact that the roadworks are not displayed even though they are on the list.  This, I believe, is a serious omission.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down tomastomas
    I need exact example, let me have coordinates
  • Vote Up0Vote Down amlumsdenamlumsden
    Really, can't you state whether road works are supposed to be shown or not?  I guarantee they are not - only those designated as closed and traffic queues are shown.  Try Gloucester, UK  which has a number of roadworks but only closed(?) roads and traffic queues shown. 

  • Vote Up0Vote Down amlumsdenamlumsden
    Can anyone who has access to HD traffic confirm if roadworks (not traffic queues or closed roads) are displayed on the map as I appear to be the only one testing this functionality.  Thanks.
  • Vote Up1Vote Down hvdwolfhvdwolf
    I test the HD-Traffic as well.
    I can confirm your statement about sometimes being very slow, but not always. It can take up to 2-5 minutes before I get any info and sometimes I don't get information at all. And on other occasions it is available "instantaneous" or at least within a few seconds.

    I don't get roadworks either: at all. 
    In the tooling screen they are nicely mentioned, but when clicking on them ("show on map"), the location is displayed but no icon.
    traffic queues/jams are displayed and so are closed roads.

    examples for road works: 
    A50 near Apeldoorn, cloverleaf Klarenbeek
    A50 near Nuland   (And when I tried to rework/simulate this second example I did not get any HD-Traffic info at all. Not even after 5-6 minutes)

    In the Netherlands there is a nice service website: https://www.vananaarbeter.nl/  (From A to Better).
    You can select a departure an destination and see the road works (take Zwolle to Waalwijk or vice-versa or whatever you like).
    Try for yourself.
    Edit: In Dutch of course :) so some extra info
    Route -> obvious
    Wegnummer => Road Number

    Van => From
    Naar => To
    Dropdown :Leave it at vandaag => Today
    Yellow button Toon => show

    Many thanks, hvdwolf, for confirming my findings.  Perhaps Tomas will now comment on this.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down mappermapper
    About the alternative sound output channel: when selected, if the phone is set in silent or vibrate mode, we have to increase the volume (and so get out of these modes) to hear the voices.
    And after closing MapFactor, we have to switch back to silent mode.
    This only happens with the     alternative sound output channel; with the default one (media), we can change the volume without getting out of the silent mode.

    @lubos and @tomas: Is it possible to make the HD-traffic user-sizable? Like we can do for POI, road and text in the Map scale setting?
  • Vote Up0Vote Down amlumsdenamlumsden
    Hi Lubos and Tomas,  see these screenshots in HW render.  The icons are just too large.  Perhaps making them scaleable is the answer as hvdwolf suggests.

    I was also testing out the various Bluetooth options today and must say that the results were somewhat disappointing.  Can you clarify what each option is supposed to do (bar the last which is obvious).  My experience is that at times, it connected (ie interrupted my radio) but made no sounds or instructions (at the points in my route, I would not expect any).  It then sometimes connected with only part of the instruction transmitted.  I have set voice as Google tts.  Might I also suggest if tts is used then rather than sounds for the various warnings such as speeding and speed cameras, these are actually transmitted as voice instructions.  Much better than very short beeps etc.

    Thanks for the feedback, chattiewoman. What I was interested in was the definition of the following:

    Default
    Use Custom Volume

    I was using "Use vehicle sound system over Bluetooth" but had problems as stated.  I'll be trying out each setting on my next trip to determine where the issue lies.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down chattiewomanchattiewoman
    @amlumsden I forgot to mention: it is a known issue that 2 km (don't know about UK units) before the next manoeuvre, the channel will open always without sound output, whereas at other distances it works normally.
    Hence check whether this happens to you too, probably at another distance.
