Test of Android version 2.1.x
To add to this:This "wandering off" only happens in hardware renderer mode and only in navigation. I have numerous tracks where I simply track where I'm going. It never wanders off, nor in sw render mode and neither in hardware render…

The SW renderer is always "jumpy" in route simulation. I have a quad-core S5 mini which is a relatively fast but it behaves exactly the same as on my older, slower less memory dual-core phone. The behaviour is exactly the same: the SW-rend…

@shrebo: I did not test whether it is faster. I simply want to have the simplest map possible. I don't want all kind of distracting "things" on my map and that's especialy valid for the 3D buildings (see here). That's why I…

@Lubos: You answered to Shrebo: "(if you disable in scheme editor greenery and builtups then it will be as fast as HW renderer on your device)" I mentioned before that I like a clean as possible map and that I don't like the 3D-build…

For some issues it does help indeed.However, I reboot my device before every trip nowadays: almost always and certainly always before a longer trip! I started doing that with the GLES alphas and continued doing that with these 2.1.x beta builds whic…

There is one more setting in the general Android Text to Speech settings in the "options text to speech". you also need to set the language for the preferred TTS-engine (the little gear icon behind it). If that one uses either British engl…

The alternative routes option needs (quite) some optimization from my point of view. The first route is OK and always the best: it is simply the route that is also calculated currently without the new functionality. The second route mostlly seems re…

Navigation system Glonass and Mapfactor
Glonass is more acurate within Russia due to the satellite orbits. Glonass is less accurate in the rest of the world. GPS is more advanced, has more satellites (32 vs. 24, hence the overall better accuracy), is more modern and up-to-date. They use t…

@Tomas: OsmAnd's maps are updated every 14 days. I was once quite involved with that.Your reference to TomTom maps is the same as mine about Here. That you want to promote Tomtom maps is understandable but saying that Here is not OSM based is a…

It is really an error in the Navigator maps. I think the error is due to the country border running through the river. When maps are created they need to be cut at the border but roads should still be connected over that same border. In this case th…

Please note that when you backup your SD and part of your data is in a damaged part of your SD, you will also backup and restore damaged data, without necessarily errors from the backup.In that case you still have corrupt data on a now clean SD (bel…

Folder set as read-only in Android 5
I must admit that I'm not up to date with Android 6. I'm only referring to Android 4.4.x and 5.x. I did not even think of 6 as the topic title was about Android 5

I completely agree it is a pain in the backside, but please search the web. You have to blame Google (android), not navigator. It is the constantly changing approach of Google to safety and security inside Android. If you read the articles you under…

"Navigate Home" icon/shortcut on phone screen
Yes, I realized that later.In Android it should be possible to create a widget that uses a predefined intent that starts Navigator and immediately starts the navigation to your home address. The other app can do that as well.

For me the navigation is worse: I can't navigate at all. Neither with tvo's hints.I had to drive 160 km today (and back as well), and when I press navigate, I do get a route but it simply doesn't start. The map is frozen.Additional: D…

Another observation in 2.1.52: After route calculation I sometimes like to examine the route by zooming in on it and panning along the route. The zooming works, the panning doesn't work. And after having calculated the route I can of course sel…

Tantum is right. It is not good at all. In my case the color of the route is also the same as the overlayed arrow: purple on purple.What's more: I changed the color to something else, but it doesn change in the map simulation, even though the s…

Hardware render versus software render:- also in 2.1.50 and the previous 2.1 version for me the hardware render is still not very useful. The GPS position seems lost and the GPS positioning on the map is sometimes way off. It is next to the road, in…
