With a car you can´t drive a cycleway
This way is tagged access=yes and motorvehicle=no and foot=designated, bicycle=designated Should be that way: "If an OpenStreetMap object is meant only to be used by specific designated transport methods (overriding whatever defaults may exis…

Half right or straight direction
At this intersection half right should be the better voice command. That may be right. But there other situations less obvious, where one user would expect a turn command and the other user a go straight command. I think it is impossible to meet …

Street numbers in MapFactor Navigator in offline mode
... the number is not selectable via user interface... What I noticed only recently is that, if you have a list of housenumbers in one line (separated by komma) from Navigator, you may not be able to select just one housenumber from this line. But …

A tutorial on POI
I loaded MiG's file to routeconverter.exe and exported it from there to gpx. While the original gpx file did not connect to digger, the exportet gpx did. So I could create a .mca file. I could find stations now in PC Navigator. Yould should …

Countries not visible
There is no "Europe map" available. Just single countries, several countries even have more than one map. What means "media contains map files"? You find the paths to folders according to the relevant Android (?) systems on seve…

Reading maps without gps
Äähm. Why should you have online capability for GPS? Off course GPS as such does not need data. Only so called assisted GPS (aGPS) downloads up to date satellite data, which help to speed up finding satellites and "fix" them. But GPS also …

Take next exit - what does the French voice say?
Google translates into German "Nehmen Sie die Auffahrt in 500 Meter". Not "Ausfahrt"! Auffahrt is entree or access (entry), not exit or sortie. This may be correct, when e n t e r ing an highway, but not when l e a v ing. In E…

Take next exit - what does the French voice say?
Nobody can tell me? Or is there a file, where I could read it? Ok, I think I found it in tts.xml. It seems to be the term A-SL-00-00 (Prendre la) Bretelle d'access. That sounds most as the non tts language. Though I am no French, I as…

MapFactor vs Norstra Map
Probably not. Mapfactor uses its own maps created from OSM data (free) or tomtom maps (charged).

Routing via barrier=bollard with car ?
Hm, you may be right. openrouteservice.org's car-routing also routes via any bollard, no regard if acces=no or vehicle=no :-O

offline navigation
you probably use Google search, which indeed only works, if the phone is online.

How often does MapFactor Navigator actually update its maps from the OSM site?
But MF is not Geofabrik. MF needs to convert OSM Data to their own fileformat. Geofabrik charges 1500,-€ / conversion of world data: http://www.geofabrik.de/data/shapefiles.html. So I am very much pleased to get each month one time free converted d…

Feature required - Repeat last instruction(s)
If I remember well my old tomtom Software (may be more than 7 years ago) I could press the arrow at the lower left corner of the display, which carried the next turn and tomtom made a voice command with updated distance. So that was more a command &…

Test of Android version 1.3.xx

By the way, it should read "apks" not "apk's". It is just plural ;)

routing & speed settings
"... urban speed settings have absolutely no effect for routing and time estimation. It is just a meaningless value (for OSM maps!)...." I disagree. It is just not sufficient to decrease speed by only a few kilometers (or miles) /h. &quo…
