Windows 8.1 Pro: MapFactory Navigator Free doesn't turn the map.
This feature of turning maps has always been available and works in my windows versions: WINCE and Windows 7. Never used it on 8.x so far. What doesn't work correctly is the North oriented map, if you don't enable it in GPS settings WHIL…

Search Function Modification
Thanks for your feedback and sorry then I don't know. I use a Samsung Galaxy myself with 4.2.2 and it behaves like every other Android device I have come across so far. I'm not familiar with the Tab 2 models.

@Roldorf If you have gone through the search process and landed in My Places, then press once the back button and then the Android menu button, that's the one with the 2 rectangles. Then you get a menu with 3 choices: a) leave search b) show la…

Ok, got it. You mean with the Android menu button. Then you can indeed go back to map with 2 clicks.

@tomas what you describe is the behaviour when you go from menu to my places, yes then back takes you back to the menu. If you do what Roldorf does "Back" takes you back stepwise through the whole search process again until you reach menu.…

Navigating a pre-recorded route
Not sure what you want with sending smilies. You're probably looking for "Route importer" in Google Play or search here in the forum for importer Only applies to Android

WIN, WinCE irritating behaviour or bugs in version 14.1.2
Yes I know that and I also knew about the existing workaround. But back I think in August MF announced Navigator 14 in their commercial products with: GPS satellite navigation 2D/3D mode allows realistic visual map display day/night modes …

Slow route recalculation ?
Imho, route calculation/recalculation time is heavily depending on the length of the route, number of waypoints, hardware and maybe more factors. On longer routes, say a few hundred km plus a few waypoints here 10-20 seconds are quite normal. And n…

As nobody has yet responded or commented on this feature I want to remind that it is still existing. Uli

Voice Navigation is Backwards!
@Chubb, thank you for calling me and others non sentient, very nice of you. I too like the way it is right now and the only thing you can ask for (not demand like you do) is making it configurable. Uli

GPX import/export
No. It only shows the track as a thin brown line. When I try to navigate, it says: you must select a target first.

GPX import/export
I use ES file explorer, click on the GPX file and select Navigator in the opening menu. Then I get a display GPX File import which shows the partial(?) content of the GPX file. All I can do here is select abort or import. I chose import. Then the Fa…

Did you also check "Early updates" in the 14.1.2 installation utility? Uli

Cycling: navigator takes unpaved paths
Now, I for my part when bicycling prefer unpaved paths over boring paved roads. It's more fun to ride, at least for me. And I'm not a a mountain biker, just normal trekking bike. Uli

GPX Import as route/track
Access rights ? Access to SD/USB storage, that's ok, but why does this app need access to all networks? Uli from the app description: "Sonstige Zugriff auf alle NetzwerkeNetzwerkverbindungen abrufen"

Instalation of v1.4 German version
PS I suppose you mean the 14.1.x windows version. As far as I know there is no 1.4.x Android version yet. Uli

Instalation of v1.4 German version
Using the free key for installation is correct. When installing maps take care that you choose the tab "Free Regions" (Freie Regionen) and not "Commercial Regions" (Kommerzielle Regionen). These request a key which you have to bu…

Satellite lock, assisted gps, etc..
I used both of these apps. Usually when I go on a trip I start GPS Status at home and download the latest A-GPS data and let it get a fix, which is normally quite fix. Don't know if GPS Test also uses A-GPS data. Then I take the device on my b…

Intalling v.14
You have downloaded and installed the Setup Utility for 14.1.2? Then before installing the application go to settings and tick "Early map access". Otherwise you'll get the 12.x version. Uli

Navigator 14
Thanks for the new version. Installed and tested it on my WINCE 5 device on a short ride. Like already mentioned for the 14.0.x testversion the GPS cursor position in north up mode is imho unfortunately placed in the lower 3rd of the display. I thi…

Navigator 14 ?
I have now used your test version for 10 days over 800 kms and found no further problems for my usage as navigator in my car. Only, as I am a map north up guy the above mentioned too low GPS cursor position when navigating in north up mode is annoy…

Navigator 14 ?
Thank you for the possibility to test the PND version 14.0.17. Just installed it on my WINCE 5 device and took a 1 hour testdrive. Everything so far seems to work like usual. Even my long awaited north up mode (do not turn maps) works, BUT.. in nort…

[SOLVED] Mapfactor bugs with shared location (Geo Intent). Android JB 4.1.2
In my opinion the team should put their efforts first on improving and completing the base navigator application (on both platforms: Win and Android) before implementing APIs for other applications which are imho of little use for the majority of Na…

Can we users do anything about routing strangeness of "Free"?
Out of curiosity I tried to route your example and it routes exactly like you expect it to go. R730 thru Rosslare Road Roundabout and N25 straight to Rosslare Harbour. No other/minor roads involved. I cannot reproduce your reported routing. Using th…

France works not
Don't know if you really mean version 0.12.18, the newest is 1.2.50+ Did you delete the old one part map of France? You should only have the new ones with W, N, E or S. And when published they needed a new navigator version of at least 1.0.41.…

"North always up" view?
Can it be that you are not using an uptodate version 1.2.50+ On my Galaxy S1 in north up mode the cursor is more or less in the middle. I think it has the same screen size. Uli
