Absurd Routing Mistake between Bolivia and Chile
Somewhere in this forum I thought that Lubos once mentioned that for "the new version" (version 2.x.y or so??), you needed to upgrade all maps (but I can't find it any more). You obviously did not do that. That might indeed very well …

Absurd Routing Mistake between Bolivia and Chile
With alternative routes switched off I get one route of 66 km.With alternative routes switched on I get 2 routes: one of 66 km and one of 72 km. Do you have "strange" things in your car profile? And which navigator version(s) do you have?

Drastic routing error (5,000 km detour) on Navigator w.3. route options
Could be a bug in OSM or a bug in the navigator maps.

Your images are not visible. Please specify a departure and destination. Preferably as addresses but otherwise as coordinates. Also: If you edit the above post you can also change the category to bugs.

Strange error with OSM map
@oldie: I did check the southern lane but only for that short "between 2 nodes" part and a small part left and right of it. Maybe the entire motorway requests more analysis but actually a local should do that. I now made corrections becaus…

Coordinates
You should better learn to use Mapfactor. It has an internal Google search and that does exactly what you want on your phone. You don't even have to copy the coordinates. Mapafactor does that for you.

Strange error with OSM map
Like I said this morning: PTY2 corrected the road and made it wrong.Today it has been improved (trunkroad to motorway), but it is still not correct as the oneway tagging is missing for this part of the road.The screen Oldie shows is not correct as t…

Strange error with OSM map
I took a look at the history of that part of the A837.As you can see it has been modified on August 14 when it was changed. For a detailed description see http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/115446959 This PTY2 removed the oneway tag which is completel…

I don't understand this question either. When you are in an unknown city with a lot of directional changes I'm glad to have the instructions.When you're on the highway and the next exit is after 88 kilometer, Navigator doesn't me…

This is really strange as the admin level 6 for Germany is defined as: "county borders (Landkreis / Kreis / kreisfreie Stadt / Stadtkreis) (NUTS 3)". Your reference also mentions: "Admin Level 6 = https://www.openstreetmap.org/relati…

Address Search Function • Street Names • House Numbers (MF Navigator 2.2.61 on Android, OSM data)
This is due to the fact that 548 is in "Stadtteil" Neuhrenfeld and 654 is in "Stadtteil" Bickendorf.Both have adminlevel 10 (see here and here). It seems that this is actually an error/omission in the Navigator map making. Admin …

House numbers
Based on Nigels answer you need at least addr:housenumber and addr:city.Best is of course addr:housenumber, addr:street, addr:postcode and addr:city So yes: That would be a huge task even when you script it (in python or perl or so) to parse an osm …

House numbers
An option would be to detect within which administrative boundary of a city/town/village the address coordinates are. In that case you can search for the address directly in a city.In Germany and Poland that are hamlets where the houses have numbers…

I did have the same problem with my S5 mini, not only with Mapfactor but also with OsmAnd. There is more to read about it on the web, not specifically on Navigator but on this S5/S4 behavior.It can happen that when the S5/S4 (mini) is switching off …

1. Fully agree. Even better would be two settings. One below 80 km/hr and one for over 80 km/hr.2. Agree. The only current option is to adapt your own tts.xml but that is not an everyday job for the everyday user.3. That is possible be it manually. …

No that's not correct. Google will say that the apk is not compatible with your device (one of your devices if you have multiple).When google mentions "this item is not available in your country", then that is what it is: not availab…

POI Unlisted
I understood what you meant, but defining an area is mostly a lot simpler than creating a relation consisting of a few or many ways or other relations. Some people spend a lot of time in defining objects into great detail. I have seen the same for t…

I suppose that is possible but you should never tag for some Navigation app. It's a bug in Navigator. When I tested with my relation bug in the other topic it could be found by OsmAnd and either MagicEarth or Maps.me. I can't remember whi…

No, relations should be used when talking about relations. A way can be part of a relation. This article explains it pretty well: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Elements The simplest explanation could be a hospital consisting of multiple buildi…
