That doesnāt seem to work. Iāve turned off rotation yet it still updates the screen at least every second, even if Iām at home and no movement is shown. It seems it competes with my battery display (Batty) which tries to stay on top. Could it be that Navigator determines if itās the top most window and if not updates the screen?
The screen is updated every second (e.g. panel with GPS time), but the map is not āpaintedā when you do not move. The BLIT is performed always, as far as I know.
Iāve now tried it with backlight = system settings. It really turns off the backlight after my set timeout value, yet it also turns off my PocketLooX when the timeout is reached once again. Sure enough the GPS is also turned off loosing the position. How can I circumvent this?
why i love the product i am unable to figure out how to add a number address to destination. I am using the us version. I know i can search the web with google maps built in but when i am in my car with my computer that wont work. Can you but ih house numbers? am i missing something?
Thanks
Mike
Hello Mike,
you are right - the house numbers available on OSM are not converted to MCA files yet. Anyway, you should be able to search by country/city/street name (crossing) at the moment. There is no full-text search or google-like editfield

Question: change the hand drag from āVectorā to āImageā (software setting) increase the speed of the drag process.
The navigation process is accelerate, too ?
Batterie is better in āImageā instead of āVectorā ?
Question 2: The EARTH file is very heavy ā¦(like a part of Germany). If we donāt download countries (Japan, New-Zealand, etcsā¦), can it navigate accross the world on Highway (like Exx/Axx in Europe) with the only EARTH file ?
The earth_osm.mca file contains the āmainlandā info, i.e. coastline, country boundaries, major cities (only names in āoverviewā zoom) and the last update also names of countries. There are no network/routing data, so the answer is NO.
I am looking for a (preferably free) replacement for Garmin n-route. I have Satellite internet so need to be careful of download size because of bandwidth limitations. How large (mb) is your program? I have the United States in OSM routable tiles already in img format for mapsource. Could I copy them and somhow convert them to your program? Or do I need all new map files. Also, is it possible (for a price) to get all the maps For the US, or US and Canada on a CD for your program so I donāt have to download them? I did not see a list of compatible GPS Devices, and would like to know if my Garmin 76CS will work with your program. Thank your for your help.
MapFactor use āclosedā format (.mca) created 1-2 times per monthā¦files are downloaded by the application on PC and copying to āStorage massā device after.
MapFactor Navigator 10 donāt use connection of the cellphone ā¦ EXCEPT for a āmanualā location like with Google/Yahoo GPS search, but must have the connection online before (WM6.5.2) because Mapfactor donāt connect the 3G/CDMA device automaticly.
BUG: i have an HTC HD with internal GPS antennaā¦but i use an external 10Hz antenna, too.
Navigator10 not able to use a custom portā¦i can only choose a ādeclared in registryā port (COM4, my internal antennaā¦the COM6 isnāt displayed).
I view my 10Hz antenna in Navigator GPS setting (itās a bluetooth Qstarz 818XT), but Navigator canāt connect to this antenna.
I use a logger program (GPS2Blue) and have not this problemā¦(10Hz nmea log OK).
In my experience Navigator just records the raw NMEA data, i.e. as they are delivered by the GPS receiver. E.g. my TomTom Wireless GPS receiver (Bluetooth) can deliver more than one point per second. And Navigator records them all when running on my netbook without other active programs. And thatās great because the maximum possible track points are available for mapping. In other software like the JOSM plugin livegps or OSMtracker the minimum you can configure is 1 second. And even this is only reached on a fast device which isnāt busy with other tasks. E.g. with my old PDA Qtek 2020i and the same GPS receiver I rarely get recorded one point per second but one every 3 or 5 seconds.
I recommend to have a look at the abilities, the settings and the other tasks running on your device. Iām quite sure itās not Navigatorās fault.
Hi maxbolo,
it looks like some parts of PC Navigator were not properly installed? Did you manually removed some downloaded data? Can you send me whole navigator.log.txt?
thanks
Martin
