France Map and Update
  • Vote Up1Vote Down MacDonyMacDony
    Hi Tomas,

    Currently, France, for road maps, is divided into 4 parts:
    France North-South-East-West

    Apparently, there must be too much data with these 4 parts because the updates are problematic.

    Why not divide France into 13 regions like other Gps do with OSm ?!

    The French regions are:
    - Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
    - Bourgogne-Franche-Comté
    - Bretagne
    - Centre-Val de Loire
    - Corse
    - Grand Est
    - Hauts-de-France
    - Ile de France
    - Normandie
    - Nouvelle-Aquitaine
    - Occitanie
    - Pays de la Loire
    - Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

    I am not in charge of processing data, but I think that problem is in dividing, not in processing already divided regions
    I can, however, assure you that we are taking this seriously, it is just not easy to identify what the problem is

    Hi Tomas,
    The list of new France regions for version 5.5.97 has not been put on the server ?!
    A friend contacted me, it has the basic version and has had an update to 5.5.97 and does not have the maps.
    Thx.

    Updater offered two new maps today - Corsica and Avergne/Rhone-Alpes.

    After installation France does not work anymore in FreeNav (20.2.0.1). "incompatible maps from different vendor - please install new version of program" (content of error message - is a bit longer ...).
    Updater says no new version.
    Downloaded installation files - same Version, same problem ...

    Same here: New map "france_osm_auvergne_rhone_alpes" leads to the same error message. Navigator (PC) nevertheless starts, but there is no more map of France at all displayed.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down RogerGatskyRogerGatsky
    At  now, 11 (of 13) maps of France are updated - problem remains.
    France completely "white" - no maps. Maybe it will be better when all 13 maps are updated - let's wait and see ...

    Same here: Netherlands error

    Strange thing ...
    Netherlands map works fine here - dated 14. Feb. 2021 and no new map offered by setup utility.

    Hello, the map of France is still incompatible. Yesterday the maps of Switzerland and Netherlands worked but they have stopped working today after the update.

    @RogerGatsky: early maps netherlands downloaded at 13-05-2021

    I’ve just installed navigator, France maps also shows blank along with UK and Serbia. All other European countries are working ok. Just not the countries I need. Thought I was doing something wrong.
  • Vote Up0Vote Down RogerGatskyRogerGatsky
    Seems we have to wait for the 2021 program version ...
    At Mapfactor installer in the "manage map download" section all maps without "OSM" at their names won't work. And as long as you have one or more non-working part maps from a country, this country completely doesn't work.
    With "early map access" 13 European countries in total are broken.

    Thanks Roger, i just removed all the non OSM named regions and that is the problem as the remaining then loaded. So i guess you are correct and we just need to await a program update.

    Hello Tomas, please comment on the non-working maps mentioned. When can functioning maps be expected?

    Hi Tomas,
    with Tom we did not find the problem with the new road maps.
    I need a navigator to organize a weekend roadtrip with a group of bikers.
    Can you give me a link to the old maps with OSM:
    Pays de Loire
    Centre Loire Valley
    Thanks
    I tested with the latest version 7 alpha and version 7 beta without success

    Same problem with England, only the map with "OSM" in the name is visible

    Strange things going on ...

    With PC Navigator all free maps are ok. Also with my navigation device - running on WinCE with pnd_app.
    Seem to be differences in map handling (or expected map format) from Android to Win Version.

    Will check android version on my mobile later.

    Hi,

    just checked with BlueStacks Android emulator on PC (don't know which Android version it emulates). With France and UK same effect as MacDony describes - most parts don't work.

    Glad to have my WinCE navigation device ...

    Hi Tomas,
    My wife still had the old road maps on her smartphone.
    Everything works as before and I was able to make my trips for the roadtrip this weekend.
    Good weekend to all

    Installed latest "stable" (Version 5.0.50) from http://download.mapfactor.com/mapfactor_navigator_stable.apk on an Android 7 device and downloaded Germany, France and UK.
    Germany => ok, France and UK => completely invisible
    Upgraded to latest beta (7.0.20 - same as on BlueStacks) from http://download.mapfactor.com/mapfactor_navigator.apk => only Brittany and Greater London visible as in MacDony's picture and on myBlueStacks System.

    Got me a device with Android 9 - beta 7.0.20 is just downloading maps. If I don't post an "Hooorayy" here, it's nothing better ... *grin*

    Latest free maps downloaded today. All look OK.
    Edit - Just checked files on device. All UK maps updated today except Greater London which is dated 07/02/2021. All France maps updated today except Brittany which is dated 07/02/2021.

    a bit more ... crazy.

    Deleted 7.0.20 from the BlueStacks system and installed 7.0.4 (downloaded from uptodown.com) - France and UK completely ok.

    Edit: After updating to 7.0.20 again, same faults as before.

    Hi,
    The road maps work well on Ios, the problem is of course on the Android version.
