@JambaFee: "I don't know why my post from June 25 disappeared and reappeared after a few days, I didn't delete it myself." Like MacDony said, it is the new Rating System. I rated your posting +1 and this changed the order of listing, it was then on the first position of the thread. A Thumb down sorted it back to the chronological order. The order change only after refresh, not in realtime.@Devs, please change this behavior, the postings should be always in chronological order.

Hi Stepan,
Version 6.0.88 arm64-v8a
-
And Please put my request of March 10, 2020 of version 5.5.x for the file:
@Stepan
Please add this file Navigation.xml for the next update : French part.
You can download it on my Google Drive here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1H2A1NRhStDzY6hHd7AshO8vlSwJmDWsx
I deleted the unnecessary comments (French part) in the last link.
Many thanks. -
"Type to search" on the main page won't get translated, since it is missing in the translation file
-
Obviously doesn't work without Google Play Store anymore!

Routing from 46.510062 / 10.377031 to 46.509501 / 10.381725 is still incorrect.
-
First reactions.
- I really like the new look and feel.
- Rotating the screen (needs further analysis to be able to know exactly when it happens):- Sometimes rotating the screen corrupts the map completely. Rotating back doesn't help. Only recalculating the route displays the map correctly. But on other times it doesn't do this.
- During route simulation, sometimes rotating the map corrupts the screen. Sometimes zoomfactor is weird after rotation, but is corrected after some time- Display/rendering of train tracks is "weird" if they are by incident next to road/route.- Altering one of the map displays, restarts the app and crashes it. changes are saved. This is actually an old bug.- Zoom buttons on right side of the screen work terrible (for me). Previous ones worked better. Simple 2-finger pinching to zoom in/out works OK.(And completely off-topic: The map of the Netherlands is from Sept 2019). -
Hi Stepan,version 6.0.91Bug in My Places/Gps Recording Ok.Navigation.xml French part Ok, Thx.Stepan, can you watch these 2 topics, thank you.and

I like the new look. Find it easier to navigate through the app.

6.0.94- cannot start app when not signed in to google account fix- "type to search" added to translationsmore fixes next week
-
6.0.94
*) Starting app with deactivated "Google Play Store" ( = not signed in to Google account ) now works.
*) The search-windows now takes two thirds of the start screen. Since I use the search function extremely rarely it is a waste of space for me which means I liked the old look better, but I can live with the new one.
*) After I found out that the above mentioned zoom buttons on the right side are no buttons but work as a slider I meanwhile find it useful. Indeed one behaviour (in simulation mode, didn't use it on road so far) is a little bit confusing: When zooming in or out extremely (slider at the bottom or top of the screen) sometimes after a while the map display readjusts itself to "normal" zoom level and sometimes not. But in every case the slider stays at the bottom or top instead of readjusting too.
-
"*) After I found out that the above mentioned zoom buttons on the right side are no buttons but work as a slider I meanwhile find it useful.":)Thanks. Now with that explained it makes sense and works nicely indeed.

GPS-Recording should work without selecting nmea or gpx. Please make nmea or gpx recording configurable in the settings because it is not nice to select it always.
-
The Autozoom LVL has annoyed me for years. I find on a mobile phone the standard is always zoomed too far out. When I have zoomed in to a Lvl that I find ok it zooms out again annoying to say the least. Please fix the zoom so that it stays at an acceptable Lvl.
-
The autozoom has been more often discussed and everyone has his/her preferences. For me there is nothing wrong with the zoom, but a colleague of mine also thinks it is too far zoomed out.For me the autozoom function as such is fine, but to "satisfy" all preferences it should have a user-selectable zoom scale, like 0 , 0.5 , 1.5 , 2.0 and then of course a negative (zoom out) and positive (zoom in) range (or a percentage ranging from e.g. 25% through 100% to 200%).In that case everyone can select his/her preferred zoom level.Edit: And I mean of course that the normal autozoom should simply work, but with an extra multiplication factor.
-
I just checked the different rendering modes and found out that the "hardware" map renderer (which I never use because of it's huge amount of battery usage) has a zoom level comparable to rendering mode "software low resolution" and only the "software" mode zooms that far out.The following screenshots show the same situation from left to right in "software low resolution", "software" and "hardware" rendering mode. While the important scene is the crossing in front of me the middle screen (software renderer) shows me the horizon in about 3 km distance which is of absolutely no use in this situation.
The hardware renderer really looks best to me but as long as it consumes that much energy it is a little bit limited in practice.
So if it were possible to make the zoom level in software rendering look like the other ones it would be nice, otherwise I support the suggestion of making the autozoom level customizable.

6.0.98- better map zoombar- some bugfixesnext week more :-)
-
Hi,Version 6.0.98I tested this version for several kilometers and I had no exit name displayed, except on 2 roundabouts when I was driving very slowly.I simulated part of my trip.If the start is slow, I have the display.If the start is further and the speed is normal above 100 km/h there is no display.

The well known routing errors are still there (one of them, the Stockholm-Dresden error is described here: https://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/comment/18483).
The workaround, hidden settings mentioned here: https://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/8879/severe-error-with-small-local-road-enabled#Item_5 obviously doesn't work anymore and the way to manually edit "vehicle_profiles.xml" has no more effect too.
I found a new parameter "<limit_expansion_new>" but even applying changes to this one makes no difference.
So is there no more way to get correct routings? -
Hi,Version 6.0.98Import Gpx File :
-
Could we add an option to select where the gpx/nmea files are stored by default? It would be nice and convinient to have the option to preserve stored traces even after app reinstallation.
With the last bug of not being able to login without Google account I removed all traces from a five day outing to Wales. All because files are stored somewhere in android data and not in a folder I would remember. -
The well known "oneway=alternating"-bug (https://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/8922/mfn-incorrectly-treats-osm-tag-onewayalternating-as-onewayyes) is still there.
The well known "speed limit"-bug (https://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/8159/speeds-used-by-mfn-higher-than-speed-limits) is still there.
-
1. this is not bug as I explained already - there is no such thing as alternating one way streethowever, we do now treat this attribute as two way street, but you need to download updated maps2. I do not quite understand what is this about - ETA, speed limits or speed alarms?
-
Information Panel. Portrait modePlease increase size of numbers especially on Speed, Time to Destination, Distance to Destination, Time to waypoint.
You have made the icons bigger taking more space and decreased the data space that I want to see - icons look very nice and big but what's the benefit if you can hardly see the numbers. Please reduce the icon size and increase the size of the numbers. It was much better in V5.
I am on maximum size and the only number I can see clearly is the number of satellites.
Please note I am referring to portrait mode display and this is on motorcycle. I am using 5 panels and had no problem in previous versions. -
"The well known "oneway=alternating"-bug"https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/AoWuT-3_mJGX20nIMfmWeQ (Halt bei Aufleuchten)With your maps, "oneway=alternating" is translated to "oneway=yes". Instead it should be "oneway=no" + some penalty time.
-
I have to admit that I only tested this road:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/436274971
It is still treated as a one-way street. The Austrian example is indeed working correctly. Both Maps are up to date. -
Hi Tomas, Stepan,Thanks for the White Theme :)>-It would be nice to have opacity for navigation.Folders are not organized with A-Z or Z-A in "My Routes"If by mistake we move a folder to another, when we want to move it to the upper folder (..) the folder becomes a Route (icon)Which would also be nice when you put "- many bugfixes"it would be to have a list of what has been done.It would be easier for us to find the problems.Thx.

Something seems to be wrong with the search function (offline, oneline) when you combine post code and city.Germany West:An der Bega 2, Lemgo --> foundAn der Bega 2, 32657 --> foundAn der Bega 2, 32657 Lemgo --> nothing found. Why?
-
offline, oneline (sorry, i previously wrote multiline)
Please support entering both, since the full address is what we paste from, and what is used with function "open in navigation app" (or similar).
Maybe as a workaround for your developers: ignore post code if City is used, something like that.
Howdy, Stranger!
