routing & speed settings
"...but also the routing and the calculation for the time consumption of the route. " That's why I adjusted the profile of my own car (separate profile) by substantials margins. I.e. inside towns from 18km/h to 25 km/h according to t…

My post refers only to the Setup Utility, not to the navigation program. With that program I have just version 14. But for the setup utility I have 12 in the start menu and in the windows control panel and as name of the utility and for the directo…

Intalling v.14
You are missing one step. After checking early acces in setup utility, don't choose install application but "product updates" and this will offer Navigator 14 for download. Download and install just after that.

Intalling v.14
Oh, now I understand. What I did yesterday was setting the setup utility of version 12 to early access and it installed version 14 of the setup utility. Installing Navigator from the setup utility 14 installed version 12 of Navigator again (as to F…

Failed to download list of available maps
Map download in Chemnitz, Germany, was no problem today. I was in vacation last week, so nearly 2 GB new maps had to be managed. That was done by 1,4MB / sec. So download server seems to be ok from here.

Navigator displays german instead of indigenous city names.
If I change to Czech language, I will no more understand the menu. May be, we need a separate option, which let us choose just the language for text displayed on the map. Then I have the German menu and the name of a city as I find it on road signs …

It is the same for CZ. It is hard to know where you are, if you have only the (old!?) German names on the maps and the Czech name on the road signs.

Straßenkarte etc. in englisch ist "map". "card" ist eine Karte im Sinne von Spielkarte oder Registerkarte etc. ;-)

Test of Android version 1.3.xx
Drehen Sie um, wenn möglich. Just skip the Komma. There no need to set it in this sentence. Or just say "Drehen sie möglichst um" ;-)

steps allowed for car
And just today I experienced steps are also allowed for bycicle. Three steps down one can do with bycicle but 10+ steps up? Okay you could carry your bike, what I didn't want to do. But on the other hand I never would have used the proposed ro…

Surprise, surprise, those steps have the tag motorvehicle=no. So I don't why you assume, they are available for vehicles. They are n o t . So the route should not go there.

Yes, car-routing never should use any way with tag motor_vehicle=no. Very simple rule.

Romania Map Coverage
I wonder, if the size of the download is of significance for map details. It may be just a matter of map-format. Openandromap of Romania (including moldova) has 211 MB, that is five times that of Navigator. The reason is, that this maps covers hikin…

Romania Map Coverage
Map coverage of 16 % was that of tomtom maps in 2012: http://discussions.tomtom.com/t5/Map-quality/Romania-and-Eastern-European-Coverage/td-p/240839 So this is not for OSM maps today. You should check with the local romanian OSM community about tod…

Navigator is great, but...
If you just want to search for addresses other than POI, you have to go back to the menu with tabS "address, Google, POI and coordinates" as the first line of the program. May be, the most left tab addresses is hidden so you have to move t…
