Not working for me. Tapping on record as gpx or nmea nothing happens. Tapping on the disk , GPS position recording, I get two options instead of three options.

V5.5.94 MY PLACES > GPS RECORDING > GPS Positions Recording - the option "Turn on/off manually" is not there anymore. I am not sure on what version this happened but on my old test phone v5.0.39 the option is still there.

@stepan - that will be better but will be even much, much better if we could have it at the " one mile from waypoint nameofwaypoint" and repeat it at the ""500 meters from waypoint nameofwaypoint" announcements as well. Not…

@stepan -TTS announcement - worked on mine using google tts - i think it has to be TTS and not recorded. Is there a chance to have the announcement much earlier ie at the first / second announcement. At "waypoint ???? reached " is alread…

@stepan - disappointing to hear this. Try to keep it as simple as possible. Just have another optional box or panel area for the waypoint label to be displayed at the same time the waypoint alert appears or announced - nothing complicated. I am quit…

@stepan - happy to hear this Stepan and I will be looking forward to it - it will be one more "pros" to Mapfactor. Any news on the Toolbar response? Every other function responds with no problem apart from the Toolbar. Many thanks

3D screen mode and Waypoint Labels. Decided to switch over to 3D screen mode and I noticed that the waypoint labels are not displayed. On 2D mode waypoints labels sometimes appear subject to the number of characters and where the waypoint appears…

@stepan - Morning Stepan Re: Toolbar response, v5.5.74 Unfortunately on the second ride last Sunday the response was not good. More misses than hits. I was looking for a pattern to narrow down the problem but there are too many areas to look at …

@stepan - Tested 5.5.74 - Screen response - Toolbar. Tested for around 40 miles / 1:20 h ride. It performed better than ever before. Most of the times the response was quick and with just one tap. There were a few times that it required a second tap…

@MacDony Thanks for testing. I presume this was a short ride. I counted 5 fails at the end of the navigation. Noticed that at the beginning the toolbar will pop up without the +/- button appearing first. Also noticed that the fails happened at th…

@MacDony MacDony, Slight confusion. I am referring to the + / - zoom in/out buttons that appear when you tap the screen when in navigation or map mode. A different Toolbar appears based on the mode. I don't think the settings have anything t…

@MacDony Hi MacDony, Waypoints - from 10 - 70. On average 20 Distance - average 70-100 miles The "out / in" zoom appears instantly no matter how long been navigating. Zoom works 100% in all conditions. The Toolbar is the problem. I notic…

@Stepan Toolbar ongoing issue. A couple of hours motorcycle ride today and trying to get the Toolbar to appear was very frustrating and I feel that nobody is looking at it. I can appreciate that most users are not using Mapfactor the way I do ie nav…

Navigating from A to B is usually OK as there are no increase in recalculations. Missing a waypoint causes a lot of recalculations and the longer mapfactor is running the screen response gets worse.

@tomas - I think what you call "toolbar" is what I call "info panel" . I have four of the buttons set as Skip next waypoint. The problem we have is that the Toolbar / Info Panel won't activate when touching the screen. Espec…

Alternative routes is disabled. As my rides are pre-planned routes with a lot of waypoints the alternative routes function is more of a hindrance to me. Everytime a waypoint is missed or bypassed for whatever reason Mapfactor tries to re-route back…

@stepan @tomas Back to Info Panel screen response . Today the response was worse than last time, v5.5.49. I noticed that when a lot of re-calculations are taking place ( which is expected after a missed waypoint ) the response time deteriorates dra…

@user_mf - unless I misunderstood you - mine works the way you want it. All my rides / routes use a lot of waypoints and after any unexpected shut downs, controlled exit or even device re-starts I am able to restart navigation from where stopped - j…

@stepan V5.5.49 - Info Panel screen response. On a two hour ride. Good improvement. Info Panel responded some of the times on the first screen touch but most times it required a 2nd or 3rd/4th screen touch. On a few occasions there was no respon…

@Tomas @MacDony - Tomas are you saying that the Info Panel responds on your device or are you referring to the "back to the menu" button.

Version 5.5.42 Android Pie Screen responsiveness -NO/slow response of info panel. Still Info Panel not responding. On every touch the +/- zoom buttons appear instantly but the info panel is too shy to make an appearance.

Offline search is OK but not what is expected at this high tech age. We must have a similar or better search facility than Google. I am prepared to consider a charge or a subscription payment (as I do with the Tom Tom maps). I am not sure how the o…
