Reorganising saved routes (Android 8.1, MFN 7.2.23)
@tomas Thanks - helpful hint, which reduces the problem; what remains is the fact that I have rather large fingers and find it quite hard to hit only the smallish "line with dots" (especially because it lies right next to the rounded edge …

How to get my backups back? [Android 8.1, Navigator 7.2.23]
Thanks, you two. Problem solved - sort of: I had several times changed the location of the backup directory, performed a backup, found it and moved all the old backups to the same place, closed/reopened Navigator - and the old ones were not shown. …

Map for Germany/West
@Roldorf Normally I would agree with you, but right now I feel almost inundated with new streets (mostly short but important ones, closing gaps and therefore making totally different routes possible), and a few kilometres of Autobahn, in those areas…

Searching for "exit", I found that the penultimate entry in the British section... TTS-USE-EXIT take the exit ...has no equivalent in the German section. I'll see what happens this afternoon when I'll be travellin…

Right - I'll take a look and see what I can do.

Ok - I'll try, though there isn't a single parking lot along the whole way, so I'd have to leave the autobahn first.

Nightmode in tunnels
...only if it's an option, please. I recently drove a rented car with an in-car satnav for a few days that did just this, and I found it rather annoying.

@tomas Not just that - on my way to and from work (fifty kilometres on five autobahns) between Bonn and Cologne, I often (especially on Sundays) find phantom traffic jams on Navigator that were there a day or two earlier, but no longer! Conversely…

Is there a length restriction for the tts texts (Android)?
Thanks; I'll not go overboard with length, then, but certainly enlarge all those two word instructions (three if I were to re-introduce that most annoying "now").

Any reaction from TomTom yet ? [-O< a week and a half ago, I set a personal "HD Traffic record" - going along 51 km of Autobahn quite early on Sunday morning, I was less than pleased when Navigator wanted to send me on a 75 km journ…

@tomas Thanks to the helpful link from florian's entry above I've finally found TomTom's online route planner. Currently there is no congestion around Bonn Nord, whereas on Navigator it's the same as always. On March 27 you told …

Well, I usually save Routes only when they have waypoints; mostly I go straight to my destination, in which case I simply use Favourites.

@2highlander Both the original and the backup are in the order of 20kB, but thanks for your input. THAT problem has now been solved; I copied Favourites and Routing_Points into the newly created Mapfacctor folder, and both are back. Apparently the a…

I did - but this whole thing keeps getting weirder. When I looked inside the Navigator folder in Android.data, that file was still there. Thinking that it might have become corrupted, I renamed its ending and copied the backup over. Result: no ro…

@tomas Hi, I just performed a Backup and Delete operation, then made only one change: activated HD Traffic in Advanced Settings. Unfortunately, after about a minute, "it" was back, looking exactly the same as before, with one little Conges…

Weird - that traffic jam has been shown on my device continuously for weeks now; I even checked last night just before going to bed: it was there. Is there a way to "reboot" HD traffic? This is getting really annoying - especially as HD tr…

Check in what way?I looked at tomtom.com and tomtommaps.com - both appear simply to be sales points for end users and developers. (The phantom traffic jam is still there on my device.)

@tomas It's not just my device, then; your post doesn't show the time of day any more, but both on the second and the third of April there wasn't even any traffic jam there during the afternoon "rush hour".

Hi, can anyone with HD traffic and the Germany West map on Android please check the A555 north of the Bonn Nord intersection (near 50:44.8679, 7:04.1482)? I first noticed that a "phantom" traffic jam was reported there when going to w…

"Go staight ahead"? Not really!
Strange - I can't see any images (either on Firefox or on Opera) - maybe it's the new PC I'm just getting operational.

Let's hope that one of the developers will find some time to give us some helpful hints.

"Go staight ahead"? Not really!
A different phrase might be helpful in many cases, but not on an autobahn intersection: If, for example, you drive along the A4 through the southern outskirts of Koeln/Cologne, going east (passing coordinates like 50:53.0218, 6:57.4957 ) and leave …
