ETA computation in urban areas with OSM data: what is the urban trigger?
Hi, All those changes are actually work-arounds for the underlying problem: Navigator does not use speed penalties for cross-roads, intersections, traffic lights, traffic-calming options (bumps, measures around schools, s-curves in roads to slow do…

Hi,I tried the HUD tonight as I had to drive 160 km. As such it works nice until it starts raining. Even with my windscreen wipers on high speed the image gets immediately distorted due to rain drops on the windshield (and yes, I know the raindrops …

I purchased all the premium functions, but I still get the question about the purchasing of TomTom maps. For a new user this is perfectly acceptable, but it's an add as well and should be removed if I once say that I don't want to see it a…

When in pedestrian, change to car mode if the speed is too high (or the distance too long)
I did not say that I don't want it. I just mentioned some things to sort out. But in the first topic I made a big thinking errorI thought it should switch to car when below 40 km (in a town), and that's exactly what I want when driving in …

Yes, I understand what dirk205 want to see when it is 51 meters, but when it is 761 meters: Do you want to see 760 meters or simply 750 meters?Not only the accuracy of the GPS is of influence. Also the drawing of the roads is of influence, especiall…

I immediately tried that. I removed the album.style, restarted Navigator and selected the default schemes, exited Navigator, rebooted my phone to be sure, and started again. It still crashes unfortunately.

I think some if-then-else routing algorithm should be used. when distance between 500 - 1000 meter round at 100 meterwhen distance between 250 - 500 meters round at 50 meterswhen distance

The ads were during the download of maps. In the new 2.1.45 version you also get a full page add when exiting the app.

Direction change problem
I only checked your image, not the openstreetmap data. You are right. It is not an intersection. It is a crossover completely separated from the other road.I meant something like this: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/52.48862/6.12281

But my question remains valid: Do you use/test on a big variety of hardware? Samsung is by far the most sold phone. Are some of you (the team) also on some Samsung?Let's hope some more reports on "my issue" will be mentioned: whether…

I fully agree with Tomas and Oldie, but I do think mapper is right to some extend. Why add a checkbox "Don't show me this message again" if you do get to see it every x times you start Navigator? It is completely superficious. It does…

Download updates checkbox tick not visible enough
Don't you see it in front of the text "Download updates of existing maps"?If you don't see it, then that's exactly what @mapper mentions: It's hardly visible. :)

I do understand why you want it and to some extend I really like it, but it definitely needs some tweaks. If we last used MapFactor in pedestrian mode, when we plan a new route, MapFactor should suggest changing to the car mode if the distance of th…

There is no need to use the DEV anymore. The DEV version is 2.0.31 and the Google Play version is 2.0.33 (no idea why the dev version is lower)
