@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.

I am getting more and more disappointed with Mapfactor's performance. I keep hoping that the next release will address the long going issues but alas nothing gets done instead other bugs get introduced. I had a quick look for an alternative app…

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…

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

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
