Updates HD Traffic
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…

Updates HD Traffic
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.)

Updates HD Traffic
@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".

Updates HD Traffic
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 …

Map Colours and new versions of Navigator for Android
Hi,I am not quite sure about your "was more error-safe..."; is it still ok to reuse the old colour schemes?Having set "my" colours several times now, it would be no big thing to do it again, as by now it takes me less than 15 min…

vehicle_profiles and backup strangeness (Android) - where did I go wrong?
Ooooops - how embarassing! Of course everything is back to normal - sorry to have bothered the forum; no idea why I expected the other profiles to reappear on the top level of the Route Setup screen - where they had never been!The recollection appea…

Lake Murray missing, Help!
This seems to be a recurring problem - something similar has been discussed about twenty threads down if you look at "All discussions." http://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/8600/bugs-riverocean#Item_18

vehicle_profiles and backup strangeness (Android) - where did I go wrong?
Hi, mes, thanks for your ideas. I tried both - neither brings any change - I think. However, while my question "Why?" definitely still needs an answer, it's not quite as urgent as before: after trying out your idea no.2, I decided to …

Are you using the free OSM based maps or the paid-for TomTom maps? If it's OSM: have you looked at the OSM website to see if the problem is with the original data? https://www.openstreetmap.org/

TomTom Free (limited time) trial??
Probably irrelevant for Cambodia, but for Europeans there is another aspect to consider: unless there has been a drastic change in the year since I last looked at a TomTom map, their coverage of footpaths and cycling paths is so close to zero as mak…

How to find villages without street names?
Thanks; you're right. ...and I did eventually find it - though not, unfortunately, through Navigator. :-( ...and sorry about the small letters - I forgot I didn't want to use Boat Browser any more,

How to find villages without street names?
In some cases coordinates might help, but not in mine - I had read something about Omey, Co. Galway, and was wondering whether it was close enough to the hotel I was staying in to make a visit worthwhile. As I had no idea where in County Galway it …

How to find villages without street names?
Oh - I see, my mistake: I simply took it for granted that those names would be linked to the "hamlet" icons on the map, without checking in OSM. Most of them are, in fact, the Townlands that Irish enthusiasts have been entering into OSM f…

Should one consider it a bug that Navigator is unable to show places from its own directory because it insists on being give a street to find?

Details about HD traffic information
Actually I have to revise my original claim - I really don't know the amount of data used by HD Traffic; I checked consumption twice more - same route, same time of day, nearly same duration of trip (five minutes between quickest and slowest), …

Deadly navigation: Jump down the bridge.
I just tried this; at least Navigator is consistent ;-) Crossing the bridge from East to West gives you a voice command to „turn left”.

Hi, I don't know anything about tablets or the Truck Map. All I can do is give you some impression of data usage: I just returned home from work during the rush hour with my Galaxy S4, Navigator Free, HD Traffic - lots of traffic related mess…

waypoint / drive through point
Hi, for the voice messages, while it's not „configurable”: you can edit the file TTS.xml inside the Navigator directory (useful only, of course, for TTS voices - and for the Android version.)

Handle highway=mini_roundabout the same way as junction=roundabout during routing
@daneel That would indeed be great - there is a largeish mini roundabout just a few hundred metres from my home; it's certainly big enough to feel like the „real thing” - just without grass/bushes/artwork/whatever, and I find it rather annoying…

Hi, folks, this is my last post using Boat browser. From now on I'll try to ride two horses at the same time - write in Firefox, read in Boat. That should make everyone happy.
