Samsung Galaxy S4 - Selecting a object is impossible
The menu in my ICS is: "Maus/Touchpad Zeigergeschwindigkeit" In English "Mouse/Touchpad Pointer Speed" This is not the finger.

Make GPS Info to a Dashboard
But as you write: ist not big and it is max. three on my screen. On a dashboard I would have a dozen or so. And for a.m. situation I have a large map I do not need.

Lock-on-Road
I agree with tomas. On my Xperia active routing is generally snapped to the route. In some rare cases, the cursor is beside the route. For me it is obvious that it is a GPS problem. That means, that gps signal is weak and/or gps location is quite fa…

Show traffic lights on map
It would only make sense, if most of traffic lights are available in OSM data. I guess they are not, only just a few.

Traffic lights can be used for better destination time calculation
http://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/comment/7679#Comment_7679 It is really true, that time calculation is really wrong (much too fast) when trafic lights are on the route.

mapfactor stays in ram
Android has its own RAM management, one should not interfere. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/ram-boosters-task-killers-bad-android/

When driving wrong - Route will be recalculated
First thing is, what MF effectivly does. It recalculates a route that mostly goes rather straight back to the original route. Just "turn back" may not be helpful in many cases. How do you react on "turn back"? What is the place t…

route not found
But anyway MF would have to distinguish, that any start or target may be on restricted roads but never the way on route. I wonder, if this is that simple.

Toll Road setting issue in MNF! example OSM Ireland Dublin to Killarney

Even if you set map language in settings? There you have the choice of language of the application, local or English.

Navigator 14 Free - Map download fails
Try to use the PC Navigator and download needed maps with the setup utlity. Just copy all the maps of PC navigator to your SD card.

Names of small hamlets rendered on low zoom levels
I think this is a problem, other OSM maps have as well. I discussed it with openandromaps. "Seoul", a city with a 10 million population, disappears long before the name of a neighbouring city with some hundredthousends population.

You are very optimistic. Blackberry's market share is less than 1%. Android about 80%.

Map downloads
Look for "Verzenay" (it is near Reims) in Google Maps and in OSM. There you will see, that OSM has just some main roads. Coverage may be 10%, if at all. Same is valid for other villages there (seen last summer, when I bought some Chamagne …

Map downloads
As a study of university of Heidelberg said for Germany in 2011 (?) says, OSM data necessary for navigation were only short of data of commercial maps. They exspected at that time, that OSM will catch up in a couple of months. Well now we have 2015 …

Two issues/requests
Of course Oruxmaps knows turn by turn navigation and/or route planning. It is not as nice as Mapfactor though. Together with the app "brouter" Oruxmaps knows even to navigate on waterways. That is, why I use Oruxmaps for cycling (with maps…

Okay. I tested today my Xperia Active with my Renault's Arcamys Sound System. I feel, that volume is no more as loud as it was before combined with music. But MF Navigator volume one level lower than maximum is already too low. You do not unde…

I've tested the custom volume on my Xperia active connected to my notebook (Acer travelmate 8371) via bluetooth and on the second try it worked like I would exspect it playing some music "against" Navigator. Good deal! I will check on…
