Set the zoom level for autozoom
Yes Please.This has frustrated me for a long time, especially on a smartphone screen the basic setting is too far zoomed out. Who needs to see the map 4 kilometers in front of the direction of travel? You can manually zoom in but after a few seconds…

How to delete stopover during navigation
I agree there are 10 options in the panel button list. No 'skip next waypoint'. OK found it. Thanks

Speeds used by MFN higher than speed limits
I have found that setting my maximum speed limit to 110 kph on motorways and so on down the list gives me a fairly accurate time of arrival when actually driving. In any case I don't like driving any quicker that that.

Oruxmaps does have a setting to prevent phone from sleeping. Which means you can turn the screen off and still have your track recorded.

IPad version review. Lots of pluses but one very big minus, there is no provision to decide which POI icons you want to see on the display. That makes the screen very crowded in fact almost impossible to see the streets in cities.Also no way to alte…
