How do you use Digger
You have to look under "imported" or whatever it is in your language. And if you searched one that POI set will be displayed on the map.Also: Do you have added an icon with the proper dimensions? And with regard to: "I thought GPX we…

Route calculation - TomTom v OSM
@stavrich: Just like Tomas already mentioned: there is nothing wrong with MNF and OSM based maps. Something is completely wrong with your settings. Your first "fastest" route from Wansford (or something in that neighbourhood) to Tongwell s…

Test of Android MFN beta 2.0.x version
Back on Android: hardware rendering: I've mentioned this earlier for earlier versions but it still isn't gone. Quite often the GPS position is not correct and another road is selected leading to completely wrong recalculations. The GPS is …

Route calculation - TomTom v OSM
Actually it are not OSM maps but OSM based maps. MNF, Navit, OsmAnd, Navmii and the others all have their own map buildup and structure based on the OSM database. Based on their own vectorial maps all apps use some sort of "shortest path" …

Route calculation - TomTom v OSM
I don't think the difference in speed attributes between OSM and TT as such is the biggest problem.I think that the implementation of max speeds versus average speeds is not valid in some situations.In flat countries like the Netherlands the av…

Route calculation - TomTom v OSM
A long answer as it needs some explanation: I think this is purely to roads not being tagged in OSM whereas they are correctly tagged with max speeds inside TomTom.If you look at the calculations you see that Tomtom is 53 min 26 secs and OSM is 53 …

Test of Windows 8.1 MapFactor Navigator
When overspeeding you get a flashing speed sign warning.Say if you go from 130 kmh to 120 kmh motorway, or 120 kmh to 100 kmh motorway and you don't slow down fast enough, you get a warning signal, but it's not a speedsign indicating the c…

Bicycle Routed Along Pedestrian-only Paths and Footways
Yes, others have this problem as well. The bicycle routing implementation is quite basic. Other users, including myself, also reported the issue that roads really tagged as cycleway (and cycleway only) were not used if a bollard was positioned on th…

I don't agree to a user option becaue I simply wouldn't use it. MNF perhaps doesn't show where the next turn is, but it always tells you where thenext move is.Yesterday, it toldme to take exit 18 which was 83 km further away. I prefer…

Adding height profile to routes and other improvement suggestions
@Oldie said: "For me the difference is, that topographic maps use a bunch more information from the OSM world data, than is necessary for navigation purposes." I fully agree. If you take a look at OsmAnd you get very high detailed and very…

Navigator does not stop
You do mention it in your post but do you really use the "Quit/close" button, or do you use the "back" button "to close".When using the back button MNF does not close. When using the quit/close button MNF does close.

"Time in Destination" is completely wrong. If I'm in a plane taking off in Amsterdam, NL and it is 12:00 and I fly to Melbourne, AU, the "Time in Destination" is 21:00 (9 time zones away incl. daylight savings time and so on…

Bicycle Routing bug
I do not understand what you mean. If I calculate a bicycle route it does lead me perfectly over the cycle path.And of course it should not tell you to turn right. The cycle path does belong to way just like the sidewalk. Oldie mentions that it &quo…

Choosing street / number problem
This has been discussed more often. Some streets are within one city and simply lead you through several suburbs. In this case the numbering is uniform and we should only see one street. If all suburbs (with the same admin level) fall into one admin…

Which tags are neede to make motorway exit destinations visible in Mapfactor?
That's not complex, but that's not how this topic started. It started with a question on how to tag them and an explanation about destination, destination:lanes and turn:lanes. My reply on your reaction even contains as first paragraph tha…

Which tags are neede to make motorway exit destinations visible in Mapfactor?
I do not agree. "destination" was first as tag. And indeed it is much simpler. It could still be used for simple exits.However, on motorways on cloverleafs with multiple lanes the destination:lanes in combination with turn:lanes is strongl…
