    My complaint from March 1 about not beeing able to set night mode colours is obsolete. It happened because I am using a modified (default_)album.style file which obviously changed it’s syntax somewhen in the last time without my knowledge.

    - @2highlander motorcycle vehicle type added (adding new vehicle dialog was slightly redone because of this)

    - @MacDony we take your suggestion into consideration (but probably not in this version)

    and @MacDony if you will be so kind, can you please have a look at new translations? especially "What's new" would be great to have in French... Thank you

    Hi all,
    Setting the profile speeds is more difficult on version 5.
    Is it possible to put +/- buttons to adjust easily?
    Thank you.

    Just upgraded from blackberry to android Sony Xperia zx2 running Android 9.

    Problem : the Route- Importer I have been using to import my gpx files to MF is not working on this phone. Although it can find the files it won't read them. Error " the mapfactor-file does not exit or is not writeable"

    I tried to import the file via the file explorer by "open in" but the Mapfactor is not shown as one of the default apps. I tried but I cannot find a way to make it a default app.

    Too bad for me as I import gpx files all the time.

    MF installed on the sdcard as it was on BB
    MF licence transferred to new device
    TomTom update purchased.

    Desperately needing a fix
  • Vote Up0Vote Down hvdwolfhvdwolf
    Most probably the routeimporter has not write access on the sd-card.

    You should copy the routing_points.xml from external memory to internal memeory and then try the import.
    And then see to copy it back.

    With regard to default apps: You can't set the default app as such. 
    Is there another app that wants to open the gpx if you open it in the file manager?
    If so go to the settings of that app and remove its "Default open" settings.
    In that case Android should ask again which app to choose (once or always use this app).
  • Vote Up0Vote Down stavrichstavrich
    @hvdwolf - tried your suggestions and many thanks. It worked when moved the routing_points.xml to internal memory. Route importer imports the gpx but it wont import when routing_points.xml is moved back to the sd-card. Unfortunately if routing_points.xml is kept on the internal memory then MF cannot see it. Definitely Route-Importer although shows that has access to the sd-card somehow hasn't. Possibly the app is too old for Android 9 and I dont think the developer is maintaining the app or can get in touch with.

    Trying to import directly still no success. I cannot remove the default settings on the apps listed to open gpx files as there no defaults settings to remove ?!?

    This is really bad and annoying - I wonder if someone else with Android 9 can test the route_importer and file import and let us know
  • Vote Up0Vote Down 2highlander2highlander
    S9+ with Android 9 and MFN running from sd card, no problem here. I'm importing from Total Commander. Select open with ...., choose MFN and on it goes. No external importer needed.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down stavrichstavrich
    Typical mistake, never look at the obvious and try a different file explorer!! Total Commander is great. The default Files explorer was the problem after all.

    Route-Importer, unless is updated, is now dead.

    Hi,
    In My Trips, I sort Gpx into folders.
    - folder "2017"
    - folder "2018", etc.
    - subfolder "January, February, etc ..."
    - Gpx files
    If I move a folder in a folder, to make a subfolder, it does not work.

    While navigating a planned route (My Route with waypoints) touching the screen to bring up the information panel to cancel a waypoint the response to the touch is a "hit and miss" and today was a continuous miss. Usually is a long delay, the longer navigation is on the longer the delay or never appears but today was very shy, never appeared - at the end I had to stop and clear waypoints via Route Points which defeats having the info panel.

    On touching the screen the zoom +/ - buttons appear instantaneously but the information panel does not appear.

    This happens during an actual navigation not on simulation or just in map mode.

    The info panel should appear immediately especially to cancel a waypoint. Please fix.

    Today I used Mapfactor on my motorbike. The unresponsiveness of the screen during (longer) navigation still exists. I was hoping that it was improved in version 5 but the problem is still there. This is very annoying when I want to skip a waypoint. I know this is an older problem and a difficult problem.
    I hoped this problem can be fixed soon.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down mesmes
    And I have a suggestion for extra settings for:
    1. turn the announcement of waypoints on/off
    At this moment I have edited the file navigation.xml to get rid of the announcement of waypoint but after an update I have to edit the file again.

    2 turn the blue traffic signs on/off (including the lanes) (left upper corner during navigation)
    I like this signs while I am driving in my car. On my motorbike I find this sign distractif so I would like to turn this off.
