MapFactor Forum

Same problem here: WM6.1, Free Maps:
Animation stops somtimes after route calculation. But navigation runs in background, have speech output and GPS is accessed. Touchscreen works "blind" (if you know, where the buttons are ) and I can access menu and target selection again, they are working. But when returning to map, you see the first map-picture, than the animation stops again. Do you need any further information, could I debug anything, is there a workaroud?
Thanks for this cool software.

Hi All,

I found the problem.

Problem is not at Navigator version, but at map of the Czech Republic.

I tried to load back previous Czech Republic map nad suddendly the navigation works and show calculated route and not just sign "Waiting for GPS signal".

So roll back previous maps of Czech rep. and it should be OK.

I am not sure if this problem is also for other maps ?

Hi Martin,

Map of CZ that works has 65 438 693 bytes. I belive it is the one before last update.c02c5e20ecfdba6f8dd03d9beb744d93 czech_republic_osm.mca

I used some Microsoft app for generate hash. Do not know if generating hash has some standards.

regards

Otto

Martin,

The version you mentioned 66 316 338bytes czech_republic_osm.mca , come from last Navigator map update. And this version does not work neither at version .37 or .57. It makes that "Waiting for GPS signal" but the navigation is running behind the frozen screen. With previos map, it works as it should.

I am not sure what is the problem - here is the older (March 2012) data of Czech Republic
let me know if it helped
   thanks

p.s. delete newer mca file (if there are more versions Navigator takes the latest one)

Supprisingly I am in Czech Republic.:) And yes with those older osm data, the Navigator 11 works and is not crashing on router recalculation or wait for gps data. If I may help to trace that let me know how (I know there is a log file, but there is just a "hard crash" at the end).

No problem, thanks for attention.

@Barnd - anything in navigator.log.txt?

Sorry for that, but problem persists. Replaced newer Czech maps with older ones. Tried to navigate to Praha->Ok, changed the target to somewhere in Germany-> screen hangs.
If you know, where the menu button is, you can switch to the menu. The menu and the target selection works. So I could close and restart navigatorfree. Normal position display works, then selected a target (the same  again)->Navigate->screen hangs again. The last thing i saw is the bar "calculating route", then this dialog disapears and there is a white area where the dialog has been and the rest of the target selection.
Next thing I will try: delete all maps, leave only one for my position there.
Do you need some other information?

hi,

the log file (before starting the search) ends with:
...
CONNECTING TO com device - port: COM2; speed: 4800
CONNECTION SUCCEEDED
Routing: opened germany_osm_west as 0.


after starting the search it ends with:
...
CONNECTING TO com device - port: COM2; speed: 4800
CONNECTION SUCCEEDED
Routing: opened germany_osm_west as 0.
PROFILER: <2> Search::setContext - 0.020 secs

PROFILER: <1> narrow-row - 0.157 secs
Exception thrown: .\src\CompressCanHuff.cpp(41)

Tested a little bit more:
version 11.0.19 with actual maps: same behavior
version 11.0.19 with maps from that time seems to run (5 targets entered, hangs for 5-10 secs, then picture is running.
Another thing what I at first didn't care about is: when I try to find a target for instance in my hometown then the database shows me streets that are definitely not here. As they sound they must be somewhere in south or west germany but not here in Saxonia (east germany)

Hello,
Got 11.0.56. with only east german map and earth map seems to work (treied 10 targets, no hangs)
Now putting other maps to the device...
BTW.: yesterday I wrote: I deleted maps except of one, this wasn't true, I found in  logfile, that navigator found the maps at my SD-Card ( I didn't deleted them really, only moved them) so I don't now, if 11.0.54 without czech map  runs or not, sorry for wrong post.

Hello, agree with ahr,
11.0.56 runs fine with actual maps. Great work.
Problem with to much streetnames persists, saw it in two towns but its not a big problem, as long as the streets, what are really there, are not missing.

Thanks, Rockford
