Test of Android GLES Alpha Version
I had a similar experience after a firmware upgrade (I wasn't using the gles version either). The 4.4 Kitkat message appeared, even if my phone runs 4.1.2 and Navigator couldn't find any maps. The choice was only to download the maps again…

New Routing Mode -- EASY mode --
Assigning high priorities to major and primary roads should be enough.. doesn't it work?

Alternative Routes
Even an old windows program that I got in 1998 had this function.. good idea indeed.

How to add maps
VVindsurfer, I'm a windsurfer too ;)You can't add OSM maps if they are not in MCA format, a proprietary format used by Mapfactor Navigator. Using the Android version, there is the "Map manager" button in the app with which you ca…

Google map directions v Mapfactor
I have the feeling that sometimes Mapfactor is "afraid" to take left turns at intersections, Maybe it "thinks" they are not allowed.. I have experienced this in Italy. Stavrich lives in the UK and maybe he experiences this regard…

Test of Android version 1.6.x
PrzemekSupak, thank you for helping me.. I tried it but nothing has changed. The funny thing is that the English UK synthesised voice says the street names. The Italian one does not :)

Test of Android version 1.6.x
PrzemekSupak. I installed 1.6.5 on top of 1.5.2 so I believe that tts.xml and navigation.xml come from 1.5.2. Maybe if I rename one of them or both, they are created again as default..

Test of Android version 1.6.x
I believe it really depends on my tts. I opened those xml's but don't know how to fix them.In the meantime, I can downgrade to 1.5.2 or live without street names, no big problem :).I may experiment a bit and see if my tablet has the same p…

Test of Android version 1.6.x
With version 1.6.5 the TTS voice doesn't say the street names anymore. It just says "turn left, turn right". Reinstalling 1.5.2 everything is ok. My phone is LG L9, android 4.1.2. I have set Android and Navigator in English but I use …

I hope navigator has a more user friendly way to download maps
Saipan is included in the Northern Mariana islands file, less than 200 Kb.

How to really (auto-)exit Navigator to save Akku?
In order to save battery consumption, you should first of all disable GPS when you don't use it. I believe that Mapfactor, when it's idle, consumes very little power, if any.

set a starting and ending destination
Using waypoints, you can save several different routes between A and B. Each route can be saved in My places and loaded when you need them. You load the route you want and navigate it.

Android : It would be nice if one could download Stable + Beta via in the same area as Maps & Sounds
He means the application.. His idea is to make things easy for those who don't have enough room for google play store. Actually if you have an old phone like my wife's Samsung Galaxy Turbo, you have only 160 Mb of main memory (actual avail…

Ban on road mapfactor does not work
You can edit the bicycle profile. Modify the maximum speed from 20 Km/h to 4 Km/h et voilà

Test of Android version 1.4.x
Well done for the toolbar.With this version, I could also move the maps to the external card very easily even with Android 4.4.2.The previous version of Navigator didn't recognize the external card at all

Funny, I work in Via dell'Imbrecciato, only a few hundred meters from Viale Isacco Newton... it's a small world ;)

Voice Navigation is Backwards!
Yes, it would be better to have distance first. I may try Przemek's suggestion..

Did you move them by changing the settings? (Settings ==> Advanced ==> Change installation SD card). I did so and my maps are only on the external card. I have Android 4.2 though. I read that with Kitkat, they only work in the internal storage…

Switching installed maps
You don't have to wait until you are in Morocco to see if it works. No matter if your GPS is enabled or not, just zoom in over a Moroccan city and check if you can see any street. If you do, then the Morocco map is properly installed. No need t…

I live in Rome and roads are 'chaotic'. I don't drive much here, but sometimes I have to. I want to try with "shortest" instead of "fastest" to see what difference it makes when driving across the city. I still bel…

Map Data Lost - Improve error handling and add "Locate Maps" feature
Sd cards can be strange beasts. I have a 4 Gb card that works on any device, except for my tablet. And all other sd cards that I tried work ok with this tablet. They just don't match when they are together, but this is not your case though.

Romanian Map Problems, Routing Issues
@GabrielMoise. I have a question about the maps found on http://download.geofabrik.de/europe.html. How can they be used with Mapfactor free? Mapfactor uses *.mca files. The files from geofabrik have a different format, haven't they?
