Test of Android GLES Alpha Version
100 km behind me today and no crashes however: - it lags(just a little) every time I pass a node (probably relevant for osm only) on the road...then it's smooth until the next node on the road - the map is kinda "stretched" when I rea…

Test of Android GLES Alpha Version
First observations: - new map layout is an improvement to the right direction - rendering is smooth while driving - sometimes the arrow is cca 15-20 meters behind the current location however it catches up after a little while - POIs seem to be flo…

GPS signal lost/reaquired
thanks mdx, it would be nice to bring this feature back as it happens from time to time that the signal is lost and I think it's important for the users to be notified...majority of other products have this feature...and it could be turned off…

thanks mdx, but it's android The only thing I see in navigation.xml is and not sure what to change here: waiting_for_gps_signal A-OT-07-00 gps_signal_lost A-OT-05-00 gps_s…

U-Turn algorithm
This is very tricky because in some states (e.g. Slovakia) the U-Turn (as demonstrated in the route above) is not allowed...unless explicitly permitted with a sign

Lock-on-Road
on this note....I experienced this quite a few times lately...when I wait at the lights or just in general...and I am locked to 10+ satellites the "arrow" just starts jumping around. After it changes several positions on the map..it gets b…

Hi - I can confirm that the exit number works and is visible, however it's shown with the same color/font as the destination and is at the very bottom For example this is what I see: Destination 1 Destination 2 Destination 3 Exit # I think it…

Service roads should be displayed differently
+1 for this

speed limit in OSM
Hi folks - are you planning to implement the maxspeed:forward/backward tag in the near future, or is it off the table for now? Quite a few roads have been tagged with this, especially before/after the crossing/intersection. Thanks

Test of Android version 1.6.x
@lubos One comment on the "smoothness" of the rendering - I assume that's what you meant by "attempt to reduce GPS delay" ... I do not see it to be honest. You said (in a different thread) that for some phones it's rea…

Android Mapfactor and Speed Camera waring sounds
Thanks, this could work -- but is this not gonna affect any other "warnings"? Maybe something else uses this file as well. I'll rename it for now but I think a more elegant solution could be implemented for this as I can imagine that …

Android Mapfactor and Speed Camera waring sounds
Hi folks, qq on the Overspeed warning - I've played around with the settings but I can't set it up in this way ->> I'd like to see the Maxspeed sign but I do not want to hear any sounds in case I start speeding. Is it possible?…

MapFactor OSM Data Processing
so if I fixed some issues (routing problems in OSM) after the early access map releases...will they appear in the final release to the general population in a couple of days?

Comment by Tantum March 2015 permalink
MapFactor OSM Data Processing
so what's the point of early maps then? if not fixing some known issues before the final maps are released?

MapFactor OSM Data Processing
Hi Martin, if we determine that these were errors indeed, will they be visible in the Feb 2015 OSM conversion after they are fixed in OSM? I assume the that's why we have the "Early access maps" to fix issues like this before the fin…

Routing on Gerlos Alpenstraße
Hi JambaFee, by looking at the map data, the roads seem to be incorrectly tagged. The bottom one has a part that is tagged as one way, where I believe it should be a "two way" road. If you confirm that you should be able to make the route…

Also some navigators zoom in when you are cca 200m from the next turn - which is very useful as well cause it focuses on the area where you need to deviate from the current dirrection. I'm not sure what's the algorithm that Mapfactor uses.…

Possibe improvements
I also noticed that some navigations out there treat the highway and various multi lane roads as 2 separate roads (one that goes your direction and one that goes the opposite way) - exactly as drawn on openstreetmap.com. It seems to me that mapfacto…

Google Serach - no house numbers
The strange thing is that it's always been there before. I checked for other smaller villages as well and it's the same issue. I believe now that there must have gone something wrong when they updated their search engine with Tom Tom maps …
