Map renderer - any implications?
Hardware renderer always takes more energy. Why did you not put it on software renderer?Navigator might still be the most energy consuming app, but the energy consumption would be considerably lower.

It would help of you specified which version you use, also android or windows, and on which device.

Navigator identify's the waypoint/poi-list only as a Tracking/Routing-List
Waypoints were originally meant as "points of interest". The fact that MNF makes it into a route is how waypoints gradually changed over the years. If Navigator would do it correctly, it should parse the file and then ask the user to impor…

Mapfactor on Android Auto
It is not only doing the programmatic changes. There is a complete testing program before your application is approved for android auto and only at that moment it appears as applicable for android auto in the play store. That takes quite some time.

New Navigator Version doesn't work anymore
The uninstall on Android will always remove everything under /data/data/com.mapfactor.navigator and under /data/app/com.mapfactor.navigator. That's not the issue.However, if you have installed maps on your sd-card you will also have data under …

What he means is that he doesn't have a tts.xml to start from. He needs a link or so to the latest version.

POIs for MapFactor
No, that is not possible. All external POI files are treated as imported POI files and are not part of the categories defined inside the country maps.Next to that: when it comes to POI mca files containing thousands of POIs (like my traffic light PO…

I'm sorry to say but this is really a bug in Navigator.OsmAnd and Magic Earth do this without issues.

Navigate from an address on Google-Contact
My 2 centsAll nav apps use latitude/longitude (at least the ones I know).Digger uses longitude/latitude. Does navigator the same by default?That would clarify why Navigator reverses the values.

Settings -> Localisation -> Map language Don't ask you question twice. That doesn't help you. It only makes it very annoying.

Digger and TomTom Poi's - ov2
In the conversion tool the default is longitude and then latitude, which is not what you know (and come to expect) of any other tool where you use latitude/longitude.I had the same issue the first time I used digger.

POIs for MapFactor
Yes, absolutely :)But being a convenient, useful addition might not be the same as a feasible legal option

POIs for MapFactor
If it is about legal consequences because of the bundling of MNF software with poibase software, I fully understand that Tomas does not share that here but directly with Tobias. I hope that we "some day" hear what the outcome is.

You have to register yourself as beta tester on Google Play for Navigator. Then the "beta-channel" will be activated and you get the beta builds. Currently at 4.0.64 (or so).When you have enough off it , you simply deactivate being a beta-…

This is a very vague description (to helpdesk: my computer doesn't do what I expect it to do). Please mention your problem. In this case you "might" have a known problem but if you don't share it nobody can help you.

It is not BT SCO only. I use the "Default" setting on my car head unit, and the "Use custom volume" on my phone. On both devices the mute command only works for one command. I delayed this answer as I waited for the 4.0.54 in the…
