Creating route with multiple waypoints is cumbersome
Thanks for the suggestion. However, what I am doing requires making entries in the 'Route info' screen which then ends up as a route listed in the 'My Places\routes' screen. The departure, waypoint, and destination information …

Built-in POI icons too small to see when navigating
Your icons and position marker are larger than what I am seeing. The built-in icons are especially small; it appears that their shrink factor is fairly large and so they become tiny on the screen. The icons are smaller the farther away they are sh…

Built-in POI icons too small to see when navigating
Hi JambaFee, your images show up as placeholders in the comments. My 63x63 POI icons are about 2 mm square in the farther section of the 3-D map view when navigating, and they grow to about 3 mm in the foreground. Still too small to easily disti…

Built-in POI icons too small to see when navigating
Note that on my phone's display, text when set to maximum size is approximately 1.5 mm tall. As I mentioned, too small to read from 1 meter away.

Built-in POI icons too small to see when navigating
This is still an issue. Furthermore, the displayed size of my personal POI icons is now also too small to be recognizable when navigating. I have used 63x63 pixel icons for 5+ years with the default scaling settings in DiggerQT and they were fine.…

Black screen map
Navigator performance has now deteriorated to the point that even when online the second viewing of the map results in a completely black map. I constantly have to close and restart the app to use it. To make matters worse, starting the app when o…

Black screen map
I also notice that even when online, when I open the map view, the screen is first momentarily black and then the map appears. Perhaps what is happening offline is that the software never goes from the momentary black to displaying the map. Somethi…

I removed all of the diggerQT-generated files and the downloaded country files. I then downloaded the OSM maps for Belgium and the Netherlands. Black map screen on second view still exists, so there is apparently some other issue going on here.

Ran the map data integrity check. All files check good. I'm running MFN from internal memory. Pixel 6a has no SD card slot. Since first view when offline is always good, and first and subsequent views when online are always good, I suspect …

I always have the latest beta version of Navigator, presently 7.3.24 arm64-v8a. The problem has persisted over several Navigator updates. Note that my initial post was with version 7.2.23 arm64-v8a.

Six months later, and the problem still exists. Navigator is very annoying to use offline. I get only one chance to view the map. If I open the map and then need to select a saved route or POI, I of course have to go to a different Navigator scree…

Issue exists when not connected to Internet. When connected, map displays properly over repeated closing and opening.

Spurious blue background
I should also note that the blue color is the same color as a water feature. There were no water features encountered when driving in the southeast Utah desert, so the spurious background is not associated with encountering a water feature.

Tomas, is there a way to include an image with a discussion? If I try to add a screenshot, I get an error message that there are too many characters. If I shrink the image, I can get within the character limit but then the image is stripped out wh…

Multiple waypoint and route segment clearing bugs
I notice that when the comment was posted, the horseshoe shape for the five points of the hairpin turn became reformatted so that the position of the points is distorted. If it makes the explanation unclear, please let me know how I can repost it w…

Multiple waypoint and route segment clearing bugs
I have recently observed the route segment clearing going from correct to two segments ahead. The transition occurred when going around a hairpin turn. Consider the condition for a hairpin turn which results in five route points in a horseshoe shap…

Ok, will do. It may take some time as it (naturally) doesn't always happen.

Hi Tomas, Is there anything else I can provide to help with this issue? Thanks, Alan

Recorded GPX files in Nav Free do not properly display route
Hi Tomas, Checked the setting and found it was set to 'Allowed only while in use'. Changed to 'Allowed all the time' as you suggested. I reran the sequence described above, and the NMEA file shows no dropouts in the recording, …

Recorded GPX files in Nav Free do not properly display route
Hi Tomas, I have found a way to reproduce the behavior. I started the recording at 01:03, then switched to the home screen at 01:04, then locked the screen at 01:05, unlocked at 01:06 to the home screen, then switched to Navigator at 01:07 to stop t…

I have been able to get a screen video of the map rotating 180 degrees. See the Map rotates 180 degrees.mp4. The video starts off with the distance reading synced with the actual location. The first two turns occur when the distance reached close…

Recorded GPX files in Nav Free do not properly display route
Tried saving other tracks. They seem to be OK. So not certain why there was an issue during those few days. My phone is a Pixel 3a, so not a relatively old phone. One of the tracks was walking around an open field, so hard to see how the GPS sig…

Recorded GPX files in Nav Free do not properly display route
Since I was hiking while doing the recording, either the waypoints were spaced 10+ minutes in time, or I was walking at 100+ miles per hour ????. In 5+ years of recording GPX files, this was the first time I have encountered this issue. Tracks sho…

Digger can't find digger_config.xml
I have used Digger 12 for several years to import .gpx poi files into Navigator. In general, no problems. In an older thread, someone was having the same issue. You might want to take a look at it: http://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/7/how-to-im…

Reduce battery usage for pedestrian mode
Thanks for the suggestions. I will take a look at them. When we go on a trip, we are driving as well as hiking and biking. I set up POI files using digger for entire trip including the places we are going to visit, patisseries (very important!), g…

Nav Free Android app 1.6.20 keeps crashing, needs more graceful recovery
Hi Tomas, Have been using the beta version for a while. The version seems to be more stable, with far fewer crashes. However, I have experienced some crashes with having un-check all passed waypoints upon restart. When we go for a bike ride, we …

Tried it on a trip to NYC. Good work-around; hopefully not having the long text will be a feature soon. Thanks, Fred!

Garbled speech and jittery screen with Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
