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…

Thanks - I hope they will find a solution.

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”.

Details about HD traffic information
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…

How to correct faulty lane assistant info?
Hi, I looked at two spots with faulty lane assistance, intending to correct them; however, I'm unable to do so, because I can't see any errors. I'd appreciate it if someone "in the know", who's got the West Germany ma…

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…

HD Traffic for Navigator Free on Android - licence problem
So, my license problem is still unresolved?! Currently everything works. What should I do if „you do not have a valid HD Traffic license - do you want to buy one?” ever shoes its ugly face again (before the year is up)? Send another log file righ…

How to correct faulty lane assistant info?
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.

How to correct faulty lane assistant info?
@hvdwolfDo you mean to tell me that the font settings I use on my own device somehow determine how my entries appear on other people's devices? That's weird, because I should then see other people's (bigger) texts the way they set th…

Navigation Speech goes off
Are you using TTS or one of the recorded voices? On my device, TTS occasionally stops, whereas the recorded voices never do so; therefore, I switch to them in situations where I tell you need the spoken instructions.

can´t close navigator
Hi, Wulf, this annoys me as well, but for me there was a simply solution: I use an alternative Launcher (Apex); here a long press on the Navigator icon gives me direct access to „App Info”, where I can stop Navigator completely.

switching to Android Marshmallow - HOWTO?
The way I understand it, internal is still ok when using Marshmallow; it's external where you are forced to use that blasted /Android/data directory if you have an app that needs t write.

switching to Android Marshmallow - HOWTO?
I did not put that very well - the backup was just for safe keeping, in case I had miscalculated. I have all the data for Navigator in the directory /storage/sdcard1/Navigator and when I uninstalled the app and subsequently reinstalled it, t…

@hvdwolf Strange - I am on 5.1.1 and just tested it: copied the whole Navigator directory on my external sd card into a second directory, deleted Navigator and reinstalled it via the Play Store. It first took me through the New User screens, then s…
