Test of version 7.3.x for Android
I have version 7.3.48 installed because I haven't saved any other version. In this version, I am having issues with the map import; when I import all maps, the program crashes. However, I can import a single map. Edit: Today it imported all map…

Test of version 7.3.x for Android
I was reading the Android Play Store comments, and there are other people who have the same problem: the GPS is turned off when the phone is locked. The response from MapFactor was, "GPS is controlled by Android." :( This is the wrong appr…

" not sure why you disabled it," - I had disabled it when setting up Android 11 because it sends apps that are not explicitly set to "On" into battery management, even if this is disabled. So, when you had disabled the battery ma…

7.3.64When the smartphone is locked, the GPS navigation is stopped. I have installed an older version that works correctly. BTW, I have DuraSpeed and battery manager turned off. It seems there is a development gap.

The route optimization skipped an entire block, moved on to the next one, then went back to the skipped block, and finally returned to the next one again. Something isn't working correctly there.

But 50 meters is a bit too much, especially because you generally drive more slowly before reaching an intermediate destination. It seems that a radius of 50 meters is also used for route optimization. At least, that would explain the optimization e…

"we have not changed any of this for years" - The same problem exists in PC Navigator for Windows. Why does the software generally work so inaccurately? How many years would I have to go back to get the old accuracy (maybe I'm mist…

"try another sound channel in settings/advanced"Yes, that helped. I switched from the standard channel to the Bluetooth headset channel. The message 'You have reached your destination' comes 50 meters too early. I could also see…

The message 'You have reached your destination' comes 20-50 meters too early. I could also see that on the GPS track, so the GPS was accurate enough.

Never seen in 8 years : MFN app (7.3.32 and 7.3.48) now crashes my whole phone
"I have been running your route in simulation for 40 minutes without problem"Some people have this problem after hours; 40 minutes are not enough. And maybe simulating the route is not enough because it also has to do with the GPS or other…

Unnecessary POI symbols for regular appartment buildings
How to switch that POI off in the Map Explorer? The reason might be the tag: building=apartments. In some parking areas, there are many parking symbols displayed. For example, at the coordinates 50.8551722, 12.7847316, someone added many small area…

Where are my "download" and "navigator" folders gone ?
"Or is it MFN wich marked them as hidden" - Yes. MFN mark the files as hidden. And the restrictions came with Android 10. You can make a backup and replace the backup files with your old files and then make a restore.

Where are my "download" and "navigator" folders gone ?
The files are invisible due to restrictions imposed by Google and because MFN insists on adhering to Google's rules by an absolute 200%.

Version 7.3.7: I deleted all maps and imported the maps again and MFN crashed not. The Crash while map import seems to be not so important.

Version 7.3.7 - It works very good. Also the Backup and Restore problem is solved. It works now very fast and good. But now is a new problem. It crash while importing new maps (mca-files), but the import was nevertheless successful.
