Search by address bug or feature?
@tommit:W.r.t. the "Kopernika" street: There are 3 types of addresses. One set connected to the buildings itself, which means that the address is connected to a way (in OSM terms)One set is connected to address nodes separated from the bui…

No, he has already passed 1 or more of the route points but not via the calculated route and not via the set waypoints. In that case MNF "detects" that you did not pass one or more of the waypoints and tries to route you back to the "…

@silvermapper: 1. Tomas mentioned how it would work in/from a file manager in Android.You describe how it works from within Navigator. 2. This is either a phone setting or an Android setting (4.x+). My Samsung can't be accessed either on that l…

For me it is the other way round. I used to be a heavy user (and moderate contributor) of OsmAnd but moved away from it because of its slow screen rendering and extremely slow route calculation. I only occasionally use it right now and only for cycl…

Route info: tab order
I understand why you want that. I do have a "Touristic" car mode as well where I prefer the smaller roads and avoid the motorways and primary roads, but that's only occasionally during my holidays.As mentioned: It's not a big dea…

Route info: tab order
I do not agree with IU0BMP. I use MNF only for car routing and my route setup is completely finetuned. I normally never touch it so for me it is NOT the second step but only a hardly used third option.I also want Route points to remain as first tab,…

Test of Android GLES Alpha Version
@mdx: Text size was almost to it's minimum setting in software mode and I didn't change that. At least not that I know. In hardware mode the text size setting was at its normal (default?) size. Also: the menu tells me that I can change the…

In this 103 and the previous 100 version I see "pins" on the road. Especially in curves, probably these are the nodes that define the "way".Please remove, it is quite annoying.Samsung Galaxy S5 mini (res 1270x720), Android 4.4.2,…

It also depends where those streets are. Long streets going through multiple cities/towsn/villages/hamlets, and thereby belonging to different admin boundaries, might occur multiple times.Because it runs through hamlet 1, crossing through open land …

BUG: GPX file display.When I open MNF and select to display a gpx track, it doesn't do that. It simply displays my last position. It does not move to the map location where the gpxtrack/route is to be displayed.I first need to move the map to t…

save screen space - allow swipe to access main menu instead of taking up lots of space
It should be possible from MNF. There are more apps who can do that. It's from the manifest.xmlandroid:name=".Foo" android:label="@string/foo" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen&…

It has been mentioned before but tapping on the map works terribly bad. I have the idea that it works even worse compared to previous versions.

BUG: When tapping the map where a poi exists, normally 2 square brackets are displayed and when when tapping the i(nfo) button on the right it would also display the info for the poi. The 0.38.100 doesn't in hardware mode. It does in software m…

Sorry. I completely overlooked that.

Bug in OSM map conversion?
This seems like a map conversion bug. Instead of the road it takes part of the admin border as road. It is correct in OSM However, the admin boundary has changed quite often inthe past few months.

Navigator might disconnect because Android behaves diferently in other versions and on other hardware. As MNF uses Android and its APIs to "talk" to the hardware, GPS in this case, it could also be MNF using incorrect function calls.But it…

Constantly says to take sliproad off of highway just to go back on the highway
What's more: It is not allowed to copy from Google Maps to OSM!It is illegal according to Google AND it is illegal according to OSM legislation.Don't do it!

routing problem - motorway vs motorway_link
The OSM data has not changed. The map creation has changed. MDX is now using some algorithm to simply set the speed of all slip roads/ramps/exits to 50% of the main road. He did that for a number of important countries as an experiment. I can't…

That's exactly what I thought. I assume the local city maintenance crew needs to occasionally mow the grass and prune the hedges, trees and shrubs.

Please have a look at this bing image: http://binged.it/1GAkOGm The fact that both Here and Google Maps don't have it, doesn't mean that it is incorrect. What's more: with Google Maps in Satellite view you can see it: https://goo.gl/…

I do not agree at all. Service roads belong to the routing, especially for people who do need to use these service roads. These roads are specially for them. If I'm a service man and I'm not local, I need to be able to get there.Do NOT mod…

Can you give coordinates?The simple fact that it tells you to take the the 3rd exit doesn't mean it's wrong simply because you are not allowed to take the service road. If you advance a split road and behind it another road, and MNF telly …

MF Free and Speed Camera Warning Distances
The warnings per distance are hard coded and can't be changed.PrzemekSupak's suggestion is a tricky one. What if your drive 50 km/h and what if you drive 100km/h. That 8 seconds is twice the distance at 100 km/h (222 meters) compared to 50…

Both Navigator 14 and Android Navigator get stuck when computing certain routes
Most probably you have neighbor countries around it. If you walk from Paris through Swiss to Rome and it can't calculate a route for whatever reason, it does try to find a round "around" the non-routable part. If you do have the maps …
