Startup Splash Dialogue for NavigatorFree
I've just updated MFN from the playstore and don't know if the checkbox "Don't remind me" or such was there in earlier versions. Anyhow it is there now and you can skip this window.

Navfree disregards bollards between Lange Brücke and Große Arche, Erfurt
I inserted bollards at three places in OSM data during the first half of this week. I found it a bit tricky to manage. On two places there was no other point of the line where the bollards in reality exist und I did not find a way how to insert addi…

Route Not Found But Navigation Starts
If I search OVI for airport MFN navigates me just to the helipad of Eisenach hospital :-o OSM tags are aeroway helipad and landuse aeroway. "Flugplatz Eisenach-Kindel" is not in the list of MSN, but it exists in OSM data as "aerodrom…

Upgrading to paid Tom Tom maps (Europe) - questions
OSM Maps are much more detailed than tomtom Maps (+ one third). A survey from Heidelberg University found in 2012 that the lack of navigation data in OSM prevalent at the time of the study will be closed by the end of 2012 (now it's 2014!). The…

Strassen-Namen - Street Name
This is strange, chattiewoman's post from June 2 is always the latest behind posts of June 4. May be the reason is, that heckflosse answered chattiewoman's question not by a new post but by editing his old post?

Strassen-Namen - Street Name
@heckflosse PC Version lists 3 Frymburk, if you skip the postal code. Two of them seem to be the same. You would have to chose then which one you want. I never use the postal code for searching in Navigator.

Routing in Greece for foreigners
tomas is from Mapfactor. And I think he is right. If OSM maps do not have (English or other) tranlation tags, Mapfactor would not be able to provide them (but only with substantial effort). You could go to OSM, register as a contributor and provide…

You will have to contact support at mapfactor com together with your order ID, when you bought the tomtom maps. That's what you find in different posts in this forum.

Export gps/gpx files
Depending on Android version, not Navigator version. I was quite confused, when I installed Navigator on my friends new Xperia with the newer directories structure. I should have mentioned that in my first post.

Export gps/gpx files
gpx files are located in navigator/data/gpx (Android). You could use a filemanager software to handle them.
