Android - strange route and wrong instructions
@Jan: Thanks for analysing it, but next time please use an Openstreetmap based routing engine like openrouteservice.org or Graphhopper or OSRM or YOURS instead of google maps.Those all use the same OSM map data (not the same routing algorithms)

Changing MapFactor Splash/Startup Screen
A feature request could be to have two splash screens: a day mode one and a night mode one. The application checks for day or night mode at start up and displays the right splash screen.It is checking day/night mode anyway, but now it has to become …

Test of Android version 2.2.x
:)Well, the changelog description which I copied was indeed a little cryptic. It is referring to the topic "Map scale and visible routes". The changes means that not all roads "disappear" when you zoom out on the map. More (main)…

fixed: Calculate route, Route not found crashes navigator free 2.2.44
No, it is not enough. And I know that it is very frustrating when others say "it is working for me", especially when it is the only answer. But Oldie also specified what he did.And yes: it is crucial to know whether you are the only one o…

Wikilocs route into Mapfactor
When you say route file with 500 points, you mean a track file. A route file almost never has more than 40-50 points.For gpx there is a difference between waypoints, routes and tracks although they can be mixed and a gpx file can also contain multip…

@Tomas: I myself occasionally encounter crashes when a new version is installed. These crashes no longer occur when I have rebooted my phone. Maybe this should be a standard remark in replies. @Jan_Gruuthuuse: Have you already rebooted your phone af…

Test of Android version 2.2.x
Immediately after the application was updated I encountered one crash when tapping on the map. so to be sure I rebooted my phone.After that one crash it was stable. (I switch off my phone anyway at nights and switch it on again in the morning: I don…

I do like the bigger lane-guidance arrows in the top, but I do have a feature request. The current arrows are all white.Would it be possible to make the lanes to choose green and the lanes not to choose white or grey?

Downloading via direct download or torrent download doesn't make a difference either. It should of course not make a difference, but tested just to rule that one out as a possible cause.

France has "disappeared"
I do have a personal color scheme, but already for a very long time and as said: I have never seen this before. I don't consider the blue color high priority, simply weird. Not being able to use the France map is high priority.Not for me at the…

France has "disappeared"
Well, I can't. Not even after downloading them again. There is another strange thing. When opening the map view in lower zoomlevels it starts completely blue and after a couple of seconds the correct colors appear. The app didn't have this…

France has "disappeared"
In my case it is even worse.I have all 4 France maps and not one single France map is viewable even though the map manager confirms all are installed. Also freshly downloaded maps in Navigator 2.3.38. Next to that: I can't search either in the …

I can confirm as well. Application language is always english.Navigation instructions are in the correct, chosen TTS language.

V2.2.37 bugs - Hotel POI and simulated route
I can confirm the POI error, but not only for Hotels. It is erroneous for all POIs.I also display some POIs for Administration, some for Tourism, etc.When adding a new one, the choice is not remembered.

Details missing to walk in mountain
Use OsmAnd for hiking. It has all these details.

@tvo: Not as criticism, but purely out of curiosity: Why do you mention the projection? On low zoomlevels, looking from "high above" there is of course a big difference between Miller and Mercator. However when you are on a totally zoomed-…

Map scale and visible roads
Currently users can't tinker with this. Users can play with line widths and colors and the like. This will not have big influence on the perfomance.Users have no influence on what zoomlevels roads, or any item for that matter, appear or disappe…

Map scale and visible roads
We can start pushing again. I still feel the same about it and I think it needs improvement. @Tomas: What is the current state? Will MNF try to improve this?We can repeat all arguments said then, but they have not changed.

Deleted destination -> last step is the destination
I agree with MacDony that you should be able to choose a new destination, but not automatically. If there is no destination in the route anymore, please make it so that by tapping on one of the waypoints you have the option to set it as destination.…

Routing error at a ferry
Because there isn't :) In 99% of the cases it is the last 50-300 meters of the road that leads you onto the ferry. Those last hundreds of meters are almost always not tagged, or tagged as minor road or tagged as service road.

Less steps to find a route, to make this or that in the app
I agree with Oldie. I guess we all had our learning steps in the app and our initially less optimal steps to get to the result, but it is therefore better to first ask for guidance than to ask for feature requests when it is quite obvious that you&#…

I never said it was easy :)When implementing "speed penalties" you have to take the following into account:- traffic signs- cross roads- roundabouts- All traffic_calming options like bumps, humps, chokers and the like- border crossings- ga…

OK, that's fair.I fully understand that you get more requests then resources allow for. But to manage user expectations it is better to make clear statements about what users can expect and what not :P That's why I sometimes repeatedly ask…

Show traffic lights on map
Yes,I can. I wrote a script to do that and shared that via this thread. Last year I also delivered mca files for 6 countries for the users who where then active in this thread.And because I restarted this thread I also rewrote my shell script into a…
