@tomas: Almost a year later. Can you say whether this is on the wishlist for implementation?

Test of Android version 2.2.x
2.2.28 with hardware renderer on Samsung S5 mini, Android 5.1.1 I have constant crashes with 2.2.28. I'm currently on a business trip and I simply can't use Navigator. If I select a destination and tap "Navigate" it crashes.If it…

TMC over Internet
HD Traffic is from TomTom as far as I know. If HD Traffic becomes available in Navigator: Will it be generally available (for a fee) or only for Navigator with TomTom maps?

Speed Limit
The differences you mention are exactly the conversion differences between mph and kmh.65 kmh * 0,621371192237 = 40 mph25 kmh * 0,621371192237 = 15,6 mph Are you sure you have your (conversion) settings correct?

"Carry on straight ahead" right until the turn
It is very good that you improve OSM data by expanding it and improving it by adding the tags you mentioned. Thanks for that. However, it is a big NO inside the OSM community to further modify OSM data so that "some" (navigation) app can h…

Selecting alternative routes [solved]
Older people sometimes do need high-contrast text to be able to read it ;) (I have glasses for reading)

routing problems
Just saw reports of the same weird loops in OsmAnd for gpx tracks.(I still use OsmAnd for hiking and cycling) When manually "running" pointby point over the gpx files, also the one above, they are OK.strange.

Selecting alternative routes [solved]
I know the Xperia's can work with themes. These themes (can) work on the system but also in/on apps on loads of settings.Did you apply some specific theme and changed the foreground / background colors? (I don't have an Xperia myself)

Strange route when motorways disabled
Don't forget that 2.1.97 was released on 13 April. The bug can be from both parts: map & app.Unless the April maps were also released 3rd week of April. In that case it was after the app release unless you updated/upgraded very late.But tha…

Strange route when motorways disabled
I did some tests as well with the Dutch map while excluding motorways. I really get the strangest routes when calculating routes longer than 200 km.But also sometimes they are (or at least seem) correct. I guess hurdygurdyman is right in that it is …

Strange route when motorways disabled
I never had this strange routes indeed. I think it is an error in the North-Germany map. When I try other Nav apps and either prohibit motorways or avoid motorways (depending on the app), I get fairly straight lines from Bremen to Kiel. When I selec…

Strange route when motorways disabled
In my profile I always have "small local roads" enabled. However I use 30/25/50 as parameters instead of the default 60/40/50.This to prevent sometimes "strange" routing and of course it is more according "real life" se…

Roadsegment cannot be reached in truckmodus
I thought you were using the android version. I think it is a navigator bug as I examined the specific road section in OSMand and it doesn't have any tags leading to the truck blockage.And secondly: the same tags in navigator are valid for 99% …

Roadsegment cannot be reached in truckmodus
Tomas means inside Navigator. If you click on a road segment you get the menu bar on the right with the pencil "Wijzig ..". The strange thing is though that I get the "dangerous materials" and "no trucks" with red signs…

For the German language @Chattiewoman made lots of improvement. I did the same for the Dutch language. And I think the Polish language was also improved but I can't remember who did that. So yes: it is possible but you always have to pay attent…

I guess you mean this segment: https://www.openstreetmap.org/?map=17/51.84581/5.75343#map=16/51.8428/5.7422&layers=C Why do you think it is? I can't find anything that suggests that you can't use it in truck mode.

Passed Waypoint again in recalculated route
"If it insists on the waypoint, pull over, remove the waypoint from the route, and renavigate."That's not a solution, that's a work-around. And it is impossible to do if you are on motorway or a dual-carriage way inside a town wh…

Road barrier with tags barrier=block, access=no, bicycle=yes does not allow routing for bicycles
This is definitely a bug in Navigator and already a very old one: See http://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/6387/navigation-on-bicycle-via-a-node-with-tags-barrierbollard-and-bicycleyes-not-permitted/p1

Passed Waypoint again in recalculated route
Suggestion:When you have calculated a route with a waypoint you will gradually get closer to it. IF you leave your routeOR IF the distance increases to the waypointTHEN display a large bottom bar or top bar with the message "remove next waypoin…

Mapfactor Greece routing problem
And practical and short: Add a waypoint "somewhere" in Macedonia to force Navigator to calculate a route around Kosovo if you don't want to cross Kosovo.

Mapfactor Greece routing problem
These are all assumptions.I think this is a bug or implementation decision in Navigator somewhere in the shortest path algorithm. Navigator is extremely fast in route calculation. It can only do that if it uses some A* algorithm with relatively high…

Routing - accuracy?
Please check whether you have (inadvertently) blocked certain road segments. Please check "Tools -> Disabled links"

@tomas: That's not my point about the current and the future version. I can wait as the 2.1.97 version functions fine (for me).What puzzles me is that you don't know what has been improved/fixed/added in your 2.2.x test version compared to…

@Tomas: Your remark surprises me a little. You are testing a new version (and others within MapFactor I guess). I assume Mapfactor has change & release management in place. You should know what has been solved, or tried to solve, in your versio…
