Map simplification?
Can you give me way ID for this "destination:lanes=Apeldoorn-Zuid;Apeldoor ... " example? The number of characters should be OK (there was a problem at the beginning, now the limit is 1000chars).

Cannot calculate route from Romania to Cyprus or from Turkey to Cyprus ( osm )
It could be an issue of transit network - "Alanya - Girne Ferry" is not set as transit while "Tasucu - Girne Ferry" has set transit flag. Note, that it could be extra problem that if the ferry is connected to transit that transit…

Wrong locations when storing GPS / My Places on Mallorca
Hi udippel, did you use also WiFi network for localization? I tried 1.3.43 with GPS only and it worked as expected - the position error for GPS is typically smaller than for network ... so I am not sure what could be the problem. Can anybody else co…

[SOLVED] Mapfactor stops with shared location (URI Intent) in Android
Well, yes - there was already _unofficial_ 1.4.7 build, to fix some particular problem. But in that build there are some incomplete dialogs etc. 1.3.43 is in stage release on Google Play, so I would wait till complete release and then I would move 1…

Routing via barrier=bollard with car ?
Yes, that is what I did https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/305904673/history ... but in history you won't see if node was part of way (which is important for the conversion) or not ... and you modified it, so I expected that there was something…

access=no on motorway_link
I do not know, but in my case it routes as expected. All four ramps are white and have crosses. If you have start on blocked road then it will find the way. germany_osm_west : data version=44, data creation=201409210

Incorrect translated romanian strings
Hi, we stopped updates of translations in 1.3.x, so your suggestions may show up in 1.4.x Regarding Car, Bus, etc ... I suppose that there are named in vehicle profile.xml, which is generated on start if not available. There is a "language iss…

lanes:backward and turn:lanes:backward
From "select way, node_to, tag_value from osm_lane where tag_key = 'turn:lanes:forward' OR tag_key = 'turn:lanes'" in the year(?) old experimental conversion script I would guess that "lanes:backward" conversi…

Road types (Navigator 12 vs. OSM)
At the moment we are waiting for processing of October planet.osm - there are now logged new tags for road types/surface/smoothness ... based on the statistics we will add new routing flags ... and revise road types.

How often does MapFactor Navigator actually update its maps from the OSM site?
:) thanks hvdwolf - it is as you wrote: conversion of XML.bz2 to some global binary data (phase0), splitting into parts based on relation IDs (countries/regions, phase1) and "standard conversion step" from internal MapFactor meta data form…

Please upgrade to 1.3.43+ (available in GP beta or via direct link: http://download.mapfactor.com/mapfactor_navigator.apk ... 1.3.43 is now in GP stage release) The slow start was related to TTS, and should be fixed. If the problem persist in 1.3.43…

Lane assistant: arrow in wrong direction
Navigator is displaying the case Przemek mentioned, not the one from chattiewoman. Here I would start with the fix of the map. p.s. hvdwolf, thanks for link

note, that the first planet.osm in October 2014 was not released yet http://planet.openstreetmap.org/planet/2014/ so cut-off date will be probably 141008 (instead of 141001)

Control volumne or mute driving directions
As far as I remember "mute" is if you select "silent" mode for spoken language in settings

Navigator Free suggest route through highway=path
Yes, it is true and it is "expected" that it is different in Android and PC/Pocket Navigator :(. I hope it will change soon.

Map simplification?
Hi hvdwolf, can you give me some way/node IDs as an example? Yes, I think that we use "Doublas-Peucker" for some shapes decimation (I am not sure if streets too, but probably yes) ... but because of the routing there are no links rejected.…

Road Restrictions
The first attempt is now integrated in the conversion process. There could be OSM problem in October 2014 data due to deletion of http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/227880171 (fixed by woodpeck_repair) near the planet dump release date ... we will see…

thanks - in the original version you could select sounds, which could be not available (as far as I remember) ... now they should be filtered

Test of Android version 1.3.xx
@chattiewoman - the delay will always be there as it takes a while to TTS to present what languages are available (that's what I was told) ... or are you able to crash it again? TTS is the only change since 1.3.40.

Test of Android version 1.3.xx
I was told that in 1.3.39 there was some issue with timing and initialization - I am not sure if it was hvdwolf & chattiewoman case. I.e. if you went to settings too early there was a problem. I would just double check that hvdwolf meant it is n…

OK, thank you both - I am reverting the link back to 1.3.36, which was probably better (in the case you do not have older APK any more).
