Windows 8.1 Pro: MapFactory Navigator Free doesn't turn the map.
-
I use MapFactory Navigator Free with Windows 8.1 Pro.
Settings -> GPS -> Map Rotation = ON
Settings -> GPS -> Centre Map = ON
But, the vecicle is in buttom of the screen in "navigation mode" and the map doen't turn in course. North is always on top. That's not nice, if I go to south. I see always a small piece of street.
It's a bug or a feature?

Any update on when this feature will be available for the Windows version? Its quite a common feature in other GPS apps?
-
This feature of turning maps has always been available and works in my windows versions: WINCE and Windows 7. Never used it on 8.x so far.
What doesn't work correctly is the North oriented map, if you don't enable it in GPS settings WHILE already navigating.
And then the cursor is still positioned wrong, always too far on the south side, so when you go south you don't see much of what is ahead of you.

Hi Uli
I have map rotation turned on and still the map always displays in North orientation. Are there any other settings that could affect this not working?
I am runnin the latest version of Nav Free -
does it rotate in simulation?
-
I'm sorry but im not sure what you mean by simulation?
-
you can set departure and destination and the simulate route
-
Hi tomas,
The simulate route is greyed out and disabled.
-
you need to set departure and destination first.
-
OK I have tested the simulate route and it rotates the map to always have the direction of travel facing up. Any thoughts on why it doesnt do this when I am performing normal navigation?
-
I would say that your GPS does not give bearing
you can save NMEA and email to us
-
No probs, can you please tell me if I can save this data through Navigator or do I need a 3rd party tool? Also, where should I email the file?
-
yes, in Navigator
-
This is an extract from the terminal window of the NMEA output. Is this what you were after?

Please let me know if you need more data?

I think bearing is missing
RMC - NMEA has its own version of
essential gps pvt (position, velocity, time) data. It is called RMC,
The Recommended Minimum, which will look similar to:$GPRMC,123519,A,4807.038,N,01131.000,E,022.4,084.4,230394,003.1,W*6A
Where:
RMC Recommended Minimum sentence C
123519 Fix taken at 12:35:19 UTC
A Status A=active or V=Void.
4807.038,N Latitude 48 deg 07.038' N
01131.000,E Longitude 11 deg 31.000' E
022.4 Speed over the ground in knots
084.4 Track angle in degrees True

003.1,W Magnetic Variation
*6A The checksum data, always begins with *

Is this normally a GPS chip issue or something else in your opinion?
I have logged a call with the devices vendor to see why this data is not being provided.
I also have a number of other Windows 8.1 devices which I will try on and see if the bearing is being provided by the GPS
Thanks for your help -
I have tried the other device and it works fine.
Thanks for your help
