Do I need earth_osm.mca
Hi mate @Jamo, I guess you already know that all map files can be moved to your external SD card where you can have plenty of storage, don't you?The functions of this file were discussed a while ago.. See http://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/c…

[solved] Crazy problem at one street for routing
Sometimes it is a good idea to enable them, sometimes not :)It might be a good idea to have two car profiles, one with local roads enabled and the other one with local roads disabled and see the difference in the route. If there is a lot of differen…

Alternative routes
If the second (or third) fastest can exist, so can the second ( or third) shortest, cheapest.. :)

I can understand that a SD card can be 'faulty'.. But what is a 'fake' SD card? I never heard of this.

Map Update Issue
With OSM maps only, I don't experience this problem. I agree it should be fixed.

Navigation system Glonass and Mapfactor
I have used different devices, with and without glonass. Sure, the more satellites you see, the faster and more accurate the fix is. With glonass there is some improvement, but not too big. Tipically, your device will use maybe six GPS sats and two …

Navigation system Glonass and Mapfactor
If your device receives glonass sats then mapfactor will use them. You don't have to do anything different.

Folder set as read-only in Android 5
@hvdwold I am not up to date with Android 6 either and I don't know much about it. The most recent version I have ever used is 4.4.2... I made that off topic comment just to mention the latest changes in Android policies.

Folder set as read-only in Android 5
@hvdwolf, I overheard a friend of mine saying that with android 6 the user has only one big storage area available, resulting from the sum of internal and external storage, which I assume, are managed by the operating system.. this is where android …

ETA computation in urban areas with OSM data: what is the urban trigger?
Shlublu, I imported your set into my vehicle profiles file and I can use your settings. I can see how you updated them and they are still 'more extreme' than mine regarding urban speeds. I chose slightly higher values because I drive my ca…

Frequency of maps updating
I am looking forward to the next update. A new important road has been opened in Rome on December 5.. (prenestina bis)

ETA computation in urban areas with OSM data: what is the urban trigger?
This sounds like MFN takes into account the lowest value between the speed entered by the user and map data. Well, I made some simulations in Rome with urban and non-urban routes and the results are good. =D>

Fyi the latest maps.me has voice and route planning from anywhere, not just from current position. MFN is still the best, though :-)

Route calculation - TomTom v OSM
yes, the sliders can be awkward. The car parameter file can be edited. Here is how I have done it. I copied vehicle_profiles.xml from phone to PC (make a backup copy, if you want..), then I opened it with Internet Explorer ==> select all, ==> …

Earth_osm.mca is required. I can't explain why, but if you delete it, you won't be able to use any map at all..
