Test of Android GLES Alpha Version
Well, GLES 2.0.0 works as expected. It is usable. In hardware mode, the only flaw for me is that it is a bit slow when I browse the map on my device. Maybe it would be more fluid on a quad core....In software rendering, it is more or less the same a…

Beta test channel via Google Play?
That link works for me because I had registered as a beta tester a few months ago on the Plus community here https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/105361758524129041578.New beta versions were often announced on the Plus community, but that has not…

In ES File Explorer, highlight a folder, tap "More" (it's the one with 3 vertical dots), then Properties. You'll see the complete path.

Route info: tab order
No big deal. I can live as it is currently ;) . But for me "Route setup" is not a hardly used option. Driving inside and outside the city, I use two different car profiles (the default one, plus another one tailored on slow traffic conditi…

I have tried 103 and found that hardware mode was enabled by default (just as .100 version, maybe it remembered my old settings...). I don't see the pins on my phone, even in software mode. From the above screenshot, pins appear anywhere on the…

Thank you again Tantum. So this is how it looks like with JOSM... That restriction was not there with the browser editor...

Chattie, I am not an expert regarding mapping and openstreetmap, so I trust you when say there IS a turning restriction on the junction, altough I cannot see it. And I cannot see it from street view either. There is no sign saying you can't tur…

I have enabled 'small local road' and 'other road' and now the route is correct for the first example. But I get a very strange detour for the second example. I will post screenshots after lunch :)

Chattie, you are right.. the problem is worse with the new renderer, because it tends to predict your moves a bit too early. I noticed this in pedestrian navigation.

Chattie, point 1 is also related to the non-GLES version, right? I believe some delay is necessary before Navigator is "sure" that you have moved away from the right path.. IMHO, this has to do with the distance tolerance of the GPS system…

Hi all, here is what I have found. With my tablet running Android 4.4.2 there were no GPS issues with GLES .95 (I haven't tried .98 with this device).With my phone (Lg L9) running Android 4.1.2 using GLES .98 there were frequent GPS losses (wit…

I have tried.95 with my tablet for the first time while sitting on the beach. No gps loss at all. Maybe the issue is only on my phone. Will investigate further.

I believe the issue was really the loss of GPS signal. I remember the white dot blinking in the notification bar. I then switched to GPS test app and the fix was gone and then reaquired soon, only to be lost again when navigating. I guess I won'…

Both Navigator 14 and Android Navigator get stuck when computing certain routes
Strange.. maybe it was not available in all languages.. I use the English version even if I'm Italian (and I live in Rome - all roads lead to Rome, that is why it takes MFN a lot of time to calculate, hihi)

Yes, I meant 1.6.19. If the GLES version really deals with satellites in a different way to 1.6.19, I can investigate further and let you know the results. This is the first time that I notice a different behaviour regarding satellites, between two …

I have tried 0.38.95 navigating. MFN didn't freeze or crash anymore, but lost the satellites very soon. The get the fix again, I switched to GPS Test (it seems to speed up the fix) and the fix was there, only to be lost again after a few second…

They don't disturb me at all. They are also an indication of the speed I'm going at. The farther they are, the faster I'm going.
