HD Traffic for Navigator Free on Android - licence problem
I too am having a licence problem with HD Traffic. I recently changed my device & re-installed Navigator. Alternative routes, head-up display etc. all work fine but HD traffic reports a licence problem. Is it possible to transfer the licence to …

can´t close navigator
After closing Navigator does the Navigator icon remain in the taskbar at the top of your device? If not then Navigator has shutdown. However, the apps section in settings will show it is running as it checks automatically for map updates & a sli…

OSM Map Update
Tomas. As you say the maps are updated at different times. I commented because many of the European countries I have did not update at all in April. United Kingdom for example hasn't been updated since late March. This is not a criticism. When …

Vehicle Profiles
I believe speed restrictions uses the "speed limits" you set in your vehicle profiles to estimate journey times, plot fastest routes etc. when Navigator is calculating routes. Can someone confirm this?

Mapfactor 3.0.92 with hardware render on Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Android 6.0.1. Crashes continue when wrong/missed turn taken & MFN has to re-calculate route. As well as the Navigator has stopped working message I also get a enhanced TTS error me…

No sound for speedcameras
@roby - In Navigator select Map Manager-Sounds & check that you have downloaded at least one language. Then go to Settings-Localisation-Navigation voice. There should be two options. Voice engine & Voice language. Voice engine has the option…

@Allan_Whoops - The "carry straight on" instruction happens when Detailed navigation is checked in Settings-Navigation. Uncheck it should stop this.

@MKZ; I can confirm crashes in v3.0.83 when re-calculating route after leaving previously calculated route. This has happened twice on two journey's.

I've encountered this in the 3.0.75 build. The turn "now" warning comes 500yds before it's needed then repeats itself 3 times.

Route Not Found
I've tried a "live" navigation from my current GPS position to the middle of Vicarage Road & it provided a route. You could try going to a nearby place then try to navigate home.

Route Not Found
One more thing. When you first run Navigator it asks you to choose free or Tomtom maps. I assume you chose free. I think you're then prompted to download at least one country (UK?). Did you also install the required files earth & sound sign…

You may have to sign up for beta testing to get the 3.0.74 version. I think v2.2.78 is the latest stable version but someone from MFN should be able to confirm this.

Route Not Found
A silly question perhaps but is your device location service service switched on & does Navigator have access to it? In Navigator Tools select GPS info. Are satellites available?

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. Android. 6.01. As I stated earlier I do get map update notifications. I also have the early maps access box checked. If you open the Europe area of maps in map manager the map name shows the date of the latest map on your de…

Route Not Found
Are you using the same start & end points? If your start or end point is not close to a road (for example in the middle of a field) Navigator will give a route not found message. Try enabling small local roads in vehicle settings. This has been …

check for map update
Maps are usually updated once a month then rolled out country by country during the following month. This means any changes in OSM can take up to two months to appear in Navigator. I get a notification telling me when map updates are available.

During last week the road bridge acrros the river Forth in Edinburgh was closed. I plotted a route across the bridge expecting a 35-40 miles detour but MFN with HD traffic plotted a 5 mile route across the bridge? It was a calculated route using the…

I purchased HD Traffic (€4 for 3 months) & used it on a return trip from north east UK to Brugge via Eurotunnel. Seems to work OK but had a couple of problems. 1) App crashed twice after a short period in HW render mode. Switched to SW render &…

Change position of info panels in landscape mode
This makes a lot of sense. I use landscape mode as it does look more natural. having the info panels on the side would be better.

Traffic circles and number of exists
Another option for MFN would be to use signpost information as some other navigation systems use. e.g. Take the 3rd exit towards "name of town" etc. I believe OSM can be tagged to give signpost information at roundabouts & junctions.

France has "disappeared"
Thanks to everyone for your comments. MFN did update to v2.2.39 but France is still missing. I downloaded France North earlier but no joy. I'll try going back to a stable version then re-establish maps from back-up.

Pc Navigator V 16 (Latest) TomTomMaps (Latest) Routing Error
OSM shows no restriction when turning from North End Road onto West Cromwell Road so navigator will give the turn right instruction. Based on your comment that this restriction has been in place "for years" I've added the no right tur…
