Test of Android version 2.1.x
@lubos Thanks for looking into it. I was starting to feel like it was becoming unusable. It always seemed to stop working at the worst possible time. I was beginning to think it was just me. I still have a copy of version 1.6.11, which I will insta…

Gibt es auch Outdoorkarten?
Thanks Oldie I have installed BRoute. Have had a quick play will try it out properly over Christmas. Looks very good for walking. :)

Gibt es auch Outdoorkarten?
@Oldie. Oruxmaps can not calculate routes it can only 'follow' an existing route. However it will tell you when you stray too far from the preloaded route. It will import any gpx route such as those found on outdooractive and other sites. …

Try Orux Maps for android. Outdoor hike and bike. Offline maps. It is NOT a navigation system, but will track your position on a map.

*** Answered*** What is kitkat_hack MP3 file on my device?
I only have the /navigator folder under files. I haven't found any kitkat_hack file in any directory in com.mapfactor.navigator. I am running android 5.0.2 and navigator ver 2.0.31.

Using smartphone as GPS navigator in a car
I think MNF is mapfactor navigator.

How do you use Digger
I agree with k13ehr. There are lots of poi`'s that we could use, however many are put off by the total lack of a reasonable method to import the file into navigator. I have done it with European camp-sites but to be honest it was a very painful…

Route calculation - TomTom v OSM
I also get the same as tom tom maps with MFN and the OSM maps (fastest route) A413 , A5 30mins. Road preferences all set to 51% or thereabouts. Would be nice to be able to input a numeric value instead of messing about with sliders.

Route calculation - TomTom v OSM
Mine routes like tom tom if I set route to shortest otherwise it's the same as your osm route. Difference in distance tomtom way 11km. osm way 12km Difference in time tomtom way 11 mins osm way 8mins 49 secs.

Unable to rate Navigator in playstore
Hi Thomas, no. Updated the app just before that post and when I checked the version it was 2.0.30. The version on my phone is 2.0.31, but that is downloaded from the mapfactor website. I like to keep the stable version on my tablet.

You can't and you are correct there is no menu button in the search function.

Hmm thanks stavrich it's quite annoying to be warned you are exceeding the speed limit all the time when the displayed limit is from 4 kms previous.

I have complained about the lack of menu button in search many times in the past. You just have to keep pressing the back button until you get back to the main screen, or you can press the Android home button then from notifications return to naviga…

I have also noticed this. It seems to occur when there is no speed set for the current road section and the previous one remains displayed.

A lump of Blue Tac would work to stop the phone sliding off the dashboard.
