hi, newbie here from the philippines

just installed the mapfactor navigator 11 on my 2 DIN CarNav formerly with iGO8 without maps

for future reference, i would like to ask the guros here on where to find the latest version of map for navigator?
and also how to download it to my carnav?

forgive my ignorance

cheers :)

you can download latest maps and progrmas here:
http://navigatorfree.mapfactor.com/
once you download maps, copy them on sd or to your device

The August 2012 maps are not perfect (see info about OSM license change ). If you want to update your maps anyway, please install Android version 0.10.x (see Android FAQ ) or try "beta" of version 12, which is storing data in different folder.
let us know if maps of your country are OK
thanks
Martin

thanks tomas

hi,

just wondering if there are new map/product updates as of today 8/31/12?

the reason is i have Navigator Free set-up utility version 11.0.23 and whenever i click the "product upadates" button, i always get the "there are no available updates at this time" reply...

my apologies if this topic was asked in the past somewhere, (just a humble newbie here)

:">

XLR8FAST

Thanks for your reply mdx,

i just installed the beta version 12 and downloaded the Philippines map, checked the southern portion of the country, thru my carnav, which btw where i contributed as many poi, roads, bridges, flyovers, street names, polygons, etc as i could..

well, basically its still the same, hardly noticed any difference - if there's any...

i guess my contributions will appear on the next map update...

just a little bit eager to see my contributions

:D ^:)^

XLR8FAST

i had the chance to inspect the map yesterday from beta v 12 with the august map update,
and yes, there were some missing roads of my daily routes, and some poi are missing...

decided to go back to v11 with July map update

i'll just wait for the September map updates and with any luck i may see my contributions in it :)

XLR8FAST

The September map update of the Philippines is by far the BEST!
thank you so much for this..
i can now see my edits

;-)

jaden_alex

hello xlr8fast.

i'd like to ask where'd you get the latest phil map?

care to share?

tnx

:-D

XLR8FAST

hi jaden_alex,

if you are using navigator 12 setup utilities on your pc, just click the "products update" button

once you download maps, copy them on sd or to your device

regards,
william

jaden_alex

tnx for the reply.

im using navigator 11, is this old?

how do i get the 12?

tnx again

:)

jaden_alex

it says 11.0.23 Free at the bottom

am i missing something?

XLR8FAST

kindly check 3rd post from top.

jaden_alex

update: i found it.

question again, do i need to delete everything that i did with navigator 11

then reinstall everything on the 12?

or do i just update?

tnx

XLR8FAST

i humbly suggest to save navigator 12 in different folder so as not to harm your version 11 if anything goes bad... cheers :)

jaden_alex

hey sir tnx for the quick reply

do you mean folder in my device or in my pc?

sorry not that good at these things..

:-?

jaden_alex

@xlr8fast: "which btw where i contributed as many poi, roads, bridges, flyovers, street names, polygons, etc as i could.."

how do you do the contributing?

tnx

malkavi

Go to openstreetmap.org or use JOSM app.

OSM (OpenStreetMap) is the map source of MapFactor, and many other apps.

You can help mapping your city.

XLR8FAST

Yes as what malkavi said, go to www.openstreetmap.org then sign in... Zoom in until the edit word is highlighted ,,, after which you can now click the edit button and choose let's say potlatch2 for editing your place... Good luck and enjoy mapping :-"

jaden_alex

@malkavi and xlr8fast:

tnx, ill try it out

=D>

jaden_alex

im now signed in at OSM.

question again. when you contribute, it means that if the place isnt there yet, that is the time i can edit?

lets say, there is a particular place on my gps that i want to be in the map, this is the time that i edit at OSM?

am i clear? hehehehehe

tnx

malkavi

I'am not sure if I understand you, but if there is not something that have to be there, like a supermarket, a roundabout or another thing, you can add it. In the wiki of OSM you can read a lot of information about how to start editing the map. And you have to meet some standars that are in the wiki. You cant add whatever you want.

XLR8FAST

please also visit http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potlatch_2 to get you warmed up :)

XLR8FAST

To the mapfactor team
Thank you very much for the October 11,2012 map update of the Philippines

:-)

mdx

:) you are welcome ...

jaden_alex

@xlr8fast: hi, how do you know if you already got the 10.11.12 map update for the philippines?

tnx

tomas

open map download and you will see date in reverse order, e.g.201210110

jaden_alex

@tomas; tnx, ill look into it.

another question:

my unit crashed, so i had to do everything again. question: do i need to install mapfactor 11? then install the 12

or can i go straight to mapfactor 12?

tnx

tomas

straight to 12
