Some Changes Needed for Navigation
Colors are a personal preference. Some color schemes are not even usable for color-blind people. So mentioning that "the colors of ... are the best" is very subjective. To me that would require an xml file where users could define their o…

I'm very sure MapFactor knows that link as well as every OSM related person knows that link. And there are more sites then only this link but these are mostly for specific regions. You are receiving a free app (I don't know whether you don…

Bosnia, Tuzla routing issue
Nice of you. I was also tempted but in this case I thought: "Give the man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime". (but I did the same some time ago for the English map)

In reaction to darkbert: I have done the same tests as you, but I didn't kill the tts app. However, every time the tts didn't function from Navigator I tested the app itself via the Android Text-to-speech settings ("listen to example&…

The geofabrik files are the base files. Every OSM based navigation app uses these files as the basis for their maps.

Mapfactor supports several color combinations. Did you already try them? The colors you mention are the default OpenStreetMap colors. German OpenStreetMap colors are already different (Germany has both the biggest and most active OSM community). I …

@IU0BMP: This was really to enable downloadingthe beta. If a small text file with a serial number would be provided at the same place I could easily read that text file and make the button something like "download (Beta) Navigator Free v 1.3.40…

UK Maps
Some maps are released early in the month. Others at the end of the month (UK maps and Dutch map for example). Do yo always use the same cut off date for all maps? Or for the maps at the end of the month a later changeset?

1.3.36 has an issue with favourites. Changes (or deletions) to favourites are not stored. Edit: The behavior is strange. I'm quite stubborn and every time I start Navigator I rearrange the favorites again and delete the same one. the 3rd time i…

OV2 to MCA (Locations Wrong)
ov2 uses other coordinates then mca. mca coordinates are in milliseconds.

I downloaded 1.3.36 this morning but I have no idea what has been changed. Maybe this error. I used tts this evening and it worked. Don't know on repetitive uses.

Updates are once a month, unless something is out of the ordinary. Simply check your current map date and guess the approximate following release date .

Yes, I do that too :) It can also be done from adb. but for some that is a step too far.

I0BMP said: "I believe what you said and I agree. I have not investigated much.. but I found that simply reducing the maximum speed of my car (115 km/h instead of 130 km/h) made Navigator choose a different route. With 130 as maximum speed, …

Satellite lock, assisted gps, etc..
Android as of version 3 or 4 or something like that uses A-GPS data automatically if you switch it on. All those tools were created for older Android versions. AFAIK Android automatically does it for you and Navigator, or any other nav app, simply u…

Yes and No. Next to the speed setting you have the preference setting. So you have to adapt them all in the correct way. With the speed and/or the preference.

I did the same as Oldie. My estimate routing time has now an substantially increased accuracy.

France map split
The simplest check is to go into map view. You will clearly see where the roads end at the map boundaries.

france-map to be split?
I also create OSM based maps when I was using another nav app. When taking a small part of a country I also had issues with the coastlines and admin boundaries. What I did was simply extracting the coastlines (and admin boundaries) from the entire c…

Well, I do/did have a much bigger issue now. I downloaded 1.3.35 and in simulation mode I don't hear anything. When going into settings to language the app crashes always, also after reboot. So I removed the app, without removing the data, but…

Don't worry. You don't offend me. :) I too like the Importer much more then my own work around.

Yes, thank you for the addition. But I only learned about that app today. It's new for me as well and indeed a better solution.

@mdx: I can do a logcat and possibly even clean up the logs a bit. Do I need to attach them to a post or do I send a mail? And I know this is a tricky one, if it is a bug and not my phone.

Say the Name of the road when turning to
erdfc246 is right. Even with the synthesized voice it mentions the "road names" not the ref tag or (int:ref) tag like E49. This is what I also requested in the 2nd topic of the test of android version 1.3.2x on that 1st page. What erdf…

Map Data Lost - Improve error handling and add "Locate Maps" feature
I had the same issue and it turned out to be a damaged SD-card. I first did a "solve what's possible" and then I reformatted the SD-card. It did fine. One week later it was damaged beyond repair. I'm afraid you have the same.
