When will the update of UK map be available?
My understanding is that OSM (UK) is updated every month (25th I think). I used to copy to a SIM on my Garmin when they allowed it until my Garmin 'died'. Garmin and TomTom I have never found that up to date. I'd be grateful if someo…

New version - Speed limit indicator (SLI)!
Many thanks. Since my last post. I put the phone back on OSM and found the vehicle was truck. I hadn't changed it from when I was truck driving. On car selection the SLI is back. So my apologies.

Yes - that's what I have found. Just switched my phone over to TomTom and that brought back the SLI on the phone. But the tablet has never had TomTom maps and the SLI seems to work. Been looking for the file. Is this right extstorage*****/andr…

tomas said"TomTom maps have no expiry date, updates are charged at approx 50% you can update any time in the future, no need to do it with every release." Could you explain the update process please? Presumably if in 'Map Manager'…

I should have checked truck height again it was set to 5m. Trying heights from 4.5 upwards.... it takes the loop on 4.9m (bridge at that height somewhere on A406). I was a bit too conservative to be on the safe side! Worth setting for each truck obv…

Went to NW10 7NZ yesterday from Grantham, Lincs. 18t truck Down A1, A41, right onto A406 (North Circular) and round to Premier Park Road. But took a loop; Dudden Hill lane (Willesden), High Road, Church Road, Craven Park, Hillside, Brentfield, rejoi…

Routing points
Thanks that's the problem just done a little testing. If one puts in say a dozen waypoints (not in order)... how does optimise work? Calculate route perhaps needs to be done first (but then would also optimise automatically?).

updates cost is useful to know. Checked out Witham's B1018 route and it doesn't seem to work so that is an error. However Grantham's bridges it seems to find which is great news - experimenting today. I used to use a Trucker's At…

486 game is my preference for day and for night is Dark Night. I find these kinder on the eyes whilst in a truck with long hours of use.

yes thanks. With OSM one can't change the vehicle parameters, one gets a message to access and suggestion to install TomTom map. I changed the vehicle parameters and fine. Tried OSM just to see the difference and found the same but the route wa…

Just tried another close to where I live. Drive south from East Heckington on the A17 to Gosberton 85 High Street, PE11 4NJ. Put in a waypoint on Wood Lane, Quadring PE11 4SS which will take me down a weight restricted road Hipper Lane for a truck. …

Thanks all. Just tried 486game, Blue Night, Dark Night and High Contrast. All are an improvement on the brown i think. As john_percy mentioned Total Commander i used it... after finding 'my files' didn't provide the 'open with�…

ext SDcard - works fine
Thanks for the reply. Sorry I don't quite follow what you have tried to explain. "Extended internal will use the SD card as extended internal storage and will be encrypted (and not readable by any other device)[1]. The OS will treat it as …

ext SDcard - works fine
Ooops. Well i thought so but i was doing routing in the house. Took the dogs out this afternoon and tried a Ordnance Survey walking app. Back in the house checked a route on navigator i'd got to do tomorrow... it couldn't find maps i.e. so…

Routing - accuracy?
Thanks for the explanation. It probably is a private track beyond the shop but that's like a lot of my deliveries. It seems that Mapfactor reads the OSM a bit more critically than the Garmin (with OSM installed), Here maps or Navmii. I am not u…

Routing - accuracy?
No just the truck on the app with OSM. It doesn't seem to make a lot of difference with that of car. It may avoid some of the lanes. When I have compared the two so far there hasn't been much difference. Even with car 'fastest' v…

Routing - accuracy?
Country is UK. Perhaps we should consider another route. Looking through the list it seems 9 May was also a wobbly. Also I should explain that the truck is loaded according to postcode which is not always correct - so I am using Navigator to check. …

Routing - accuracy?
I've checked that. It doesn't matter whether set on car (fastest, shortest route) or truck (fastest, shortest route). PE38 0PU seems to be the trouble. Certainly a valid post code and compared with company address correct. By unchecking th…

Well I have put the 10 May route into Mapfactor again. Still the same problem. It seems there is a fault somehow as no problem with google maps. It would appear that there is a glitch in how Mapfactor does routing. I did get a similar message on ano…

Truck maps from TomTom
Many thanks for clarifying that. I'll give it a try. I am a truck driver and tend to use a trucker's atlas for routes as I can't afford a trucker's satnav. But then two I have tried on known routes are clearly not correct on weig…

Does that mean that they are updated 3 months or once only?
