Screen responsiveness The screen responsiveness of bringing up the info panel is unacceptable. It works ok at the beginning of the navigation but the longer in navigation the response deteriorates and usually stops working. The zoom ( + / - ) button…

Displaying Waypoint labels. I understand that having voice announcement of the waypoint text label is difficult to implement. Also, understand that having the waypoint labels to be displayed as soon as the waypoint appears on the screen is not po…

Typical mistake, never look at the obvious and try a different file explorer!! Total Commander is great. The default Files explorer was the problem after all. Route-Importer, unless is updated, is now dead. Thanks

Change position of info panels in landscape mode
This is an old thread but I would like to resurrect it. Main reasons are :- New phones are getting bigger and usually on length. The majority of the motorcyclists are restricted on space and in my case a big phone must be placed in the landscape …

Any chance I can have a reply to my post - http://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/comment/17150#Comment_17150 - it would be helpful to know whether MF will interrupt the intercom connection for the duration of the announcement. Thanks

skipping waypoints, response time
Hi @lubos I agree 100% with @mes . Its very frustrating having to wait or keep taping the screen not knowing whether the 1st tap was accepted or not. I have made 4 of the panels "skip waypoint" to make it easier to click on (being on a m…

@lubos - I think you are right - it seems that it receives "Enter" after the first letter only. It will accept the rest of the letters with no delay and wait for the "Search" or "enter". This is on my BB Z30 with the de…

Update to Search Problems - (3rd previous comment ) Only search engine "Mapfactor classic searching" works satisfactory. The "Prefer Google" and "Prefer Mapfactor" search engines hang up almost all the time.

Disable waypoint/routepoint in route after passing it
@hvdwolf - I use Navigator 95% of time the same way. Use Routeconverter as well and most of my routes are between 20-40 waypoints, some even more than 60. A lot of times I stop navigation half way, sometimes switch off as well. I restart navigation…
