time-supplement for traffic-lights
I see :( In theory it is quite simple. When using the A* (bidirectional) algorithm for every shortest path segment you get a "time to pass" (taking the heuristics and road preferences into account). To this calculated time for that shorte…

It also has influence on how you cross a city or go around it. It might even have influence on a related problem mentioned in "Routing Problem". Maybe that routing problem would also have been solved if all the speed penalties would have …

That's a real bummer. I fully expected that you would have a set of speed penalties for the several "obstacles" possible, being (but maybe not complete): barrier, traffic_calming, traffic_signals(*), crossing(*), stop(*), give_way(*),…

wince has its own builtin tts. You can't change that.

No, you can't use a recorded voice. You really need a tts voice. The default tts voice could simply be google tts which you need to set up in you Android settings. Ja, es funktioniert mit allen Karten. Leider is ein Deutscher Stimme nicht so g…

Test of Android version 1.3.xx
I tried at least 10x times to stop/start Navigator 1.3.39 but still no tts. I reinstalled 1.3.36 but I still don't have tts. 1.3.39 definitely changed "something" in the /data/data/ configuration section of Navigator which is not dow…

Same for me. I can only select recorded voices or silent mode. My recorded voice is working though.

Make MapFactor the default Navigator
That's a bit strange. If I open my contacts, open one of the contacts and select the address of that contact, I get a number of options and Navigator is one of them. If I open it with Navigator it "asks" me what to do with it (destina…

Cut of is first Wednesday in the month for every map. See mdx' post, my question following (next post) and mdx' answer 2 posts further. It is indeed a bit inconvenient if "your" map is released at the end of the month.

He means google play. It also depends on the phone or tablet. If your phone or tablet does not support an app, it is sometimes not found.

MapFactor OSM Data Processing
I can easily spot some bad (multi)polygons. I will have a look at it. (does this also mean that the Dutch map will be delayed?)

Cycling: navigator takes unpaved paths
Currently I'm of course reflecting my own preferences, but in general I could imagine that cyclists would prefer paved, smooth cycle paths (asphalt, paved, concrete, paving sones, compacted, etc), over paved, rough cycle paths (cobblestones, gr…

Cycling: navigator takes unpaved paths
I don't think it will be enough. Next to that: Cobblestone is paved (to my opinion), but I definitely don't like cobblestones. This is a tricky one to implement. I think that "normal" cyclist would prefer paved whereas mountain b…

NAVIGATION NOT ACCURATE
If you take a look at openStreetMap at that location, you can see that there is a double gate (= a barrier) to the parking lot. This means that Navigator Free (or any other OSM based nav app) can't route you to the exact destination. You can�…

Thanks, and feature request
I don't understand what you mean about "... biggest one to 68" - biggest what? - what is 68? Is it associated with the blue star on the road definition? If so, what is its meaning? In your (car) profile you can select speeds and r…

Yes, they are correct. As long as Navigator uses mono you should use something like Mono Bluetooth router or an app from the same category. I use mono bluetooth router but please try others so see what works best for you. it's not only mono th…

Road types (Navigator 12 vs. OSM)
I know it is not a very nice solution, but can't you make an xml in the navigator data folder describing the road types with sections per map provider, e.g. internal app road = tomtom type and for OSM internal app road =OSM type. If you have a …
