yes, it happens with google backup and local backup. When I exclude preferences.dmp from restoring it works. So I think the problem is related to the file preferences.smp backupfile is send by email from withing mapfactor

I narrowed the restoring problem down to the file: preferences.dmp When I try to restore all files except preferences.dmp it works fine. When I try to restore only preferences.dmp mapfactor freezes. This happens with a google backup/restore and with…

I also agree with @stavrich. A seperate webpage for the beta versions is preferrable in my opinion. Then you have all the beta versions in one place and you can keep the changelogs there. By the way: google play store still does not shows updates…

One of the nice features of mapfactor (android version) is that you can customize the map scheme's. In the settings - map customisation you can choose different scheme's. Perhaps one of these screens is the right one for you. Bu you can a…

menu items not completely visible in mapfactor 3.1.65
menu items not completely visible has to do with the screensize (4") of my phone. I also have installed mapfactor 3.1 65 in a virtual environment on my pc. The lichtblue background color of the three items is there also.

@hvdwolf I think we are living in the same area, nearby Zwolle. The river IJssel is border of the provinces "Gelderland"and "Overijsel" between the places Deventer and Zwolle. So your suggestion could be the cause of the problem…

That was my first thought also. That is why I checked Openstreetmap and Osmand. The river is properly drawn in Openstreetmap and Osmand. So this must be an MFN issue not an OSM issue.
