How does bypassing of traffic jams work in MapFactor?
OK, that's great. the "No interaction" was confusing. Any idea on when it will be ready (for beta)?

How does bypassing of traffic jams work in MapFactor?
@tomas: The only reason for me to abandon Navigator is because of the HD Traffic implementation. I was so enthusiastic when it was announced in 2017, but the fact that it automatically chooses the route is really a deal breaker. In your last post yo…

Please switch "small local roads" on.Most roads in Noyant-la-Plaine in your screen capture are "small local roads" (residential/alley/etc) apart from the D70E/Rue Principale and the "Route Martigné Briand".So again: Pl…

@MacDony: Do you also have "small local roads" switched on?To me that is the biggest mis-configuration of Navigator leading to these kind of sometimes complete wrong detours.By default it is switched off. It should be on by default, maybe …

keep map centered
Oldie is correct.

Set the zoom level for autozoom
This is really contradicting: set a zoom level for "auto" zoom :) In that case it should be called as min/max zoom levels (or something better) (Note that I'm not against the feature request)

Serious routing error
with or without ferries in the settings? First route is only taking bridges.Second route is taking the ferry from Falster to Rostock. In this case I agree with Tomas: Check your settings.

Voice guidance messages cut in Navigator FREE on WinCE
I know that you have that all-in-one unit. That is exactly what I described. Even if you have such a unit and Navigator for WinCE has an option like "audio via bluetooth" that might help.Of course the audio will still come from navigator o…

How to define Home in favorites ?
That is the negative view. You loose your phone and the good, friendly finder knows where to send it to. :) Next to that: Even if they steal it, they first have to hack the pin code or whatever security you have on your phone.Unless everything is on…

When talking for Android and Android head units in cars, your "conclusion": "It looks like on my device the voice files are played "too early" - before the voice control is given to the navigation software."It takes som…

When will the update of UK map be available?
I do not understand why map generation can't be automated. I have been involved in another open source navi app where I spend quite some time with the main developer to make this fully automatical. And that was already in 2011-2013 (or somewher…

error on gps altitude
wrong answer. deleted. Please search for WGS84 (WGS 84), geoid, altitude(oder WGS84 (WGS 84) geoid, höhe) It is not about relative altitude. It is about the "deviations" in the WGS84 model. The links will tell you more. This link (English)…

error on gps altitude
Android never does altitude correction! The GPS altitude from android is simply the altitude above the WGS84 reference ellipsoid as given by the satellites. It is not the real altitude above ground level or sea level. The app using the GPS data shou…

If you encounter map issues in the future, then this will only affect a smaller part of the total maps. Other regional maps can "simply" be updated, while the analysis for that one smaller regional map can continue. I think it is good to f…

How does bypassing of traffic jams work in MapFactor?
@Tomas: This question is now 1½-2 years old. For me it was the reason to switch to another nav app although I still like (and want) navigator (and keep coming back to this forum: you never know). The app should ALWAYS ask what you want. There should…

Do not receive HD Traffic
In your Settings you also have the several vehicle profiles. Check the road parameters for your car profile. By default it has "small local roads" switched off. Please switch it on and try again. From my point of view this is a "bug&…

To check on errors in the France West region: Did anyone use overpass turbo to do that? See this wiki page to check on errors: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Overpass_API_by_Example/QA_Tool_Overpass_Queries I do understand that it …

Sorry to say, but they are already in other OSM based offline nav apps.

Severe error with “small local road” enabled
I assume it has to do with the A* algorithm and the "shortest path" determination. And in this case a limitation in the number of paths to check.

offer the "ad-free" option
Change paypal password. Do the actions on your friends phone. Change password back.Or simply change your password afterwards. It is always good to regularly change passwords.

Most probably the routeimporter has not write access on the sd-card. You should copy the routing_points.xml from external memory to internal memeory and then try the import.And then see to copy it back. With regard to default apps: You can't se…

You have to make a distinction between the tagging and the name.The tagging is "historic=memorial" and "memorial:type=stolperstein".The name is then simply and only the name, not the tag and the name.It is exactly the same as wh…

And it is simply not allowed to do this kind of additional tagging, simply because it is more proficient for a certain user(group). It would be much easier to extract them from the Germany osm.pbf and put them in a separate mca using digger. In that…
