So, I have two old request, and three new requests to throw on the "to do" queue I hope? Old: 1> Provide a user-editable replacement table/script for text->speech. (I'm still getting "park saint" and "lilly doctor" for park st and lilly dr. )
St.;Street Dr.;Drive Peakway;Parkway peakway;parkway
2> Add a way to rename track logs (and/or route saves). It would make saving a track log that much easier. And yes, sometimes people save tracks and would like to use them as routes later. Having modRana "remind" me of a turn when driving in the dark can be quite helpful, even on a route I know well.
New: 1> Add a way to disable GPS while downloading maps. (Preferably a toggle button on the download page itself.) When I download maps, its usually for a large area overnight. No need to run the GPS while getting 500k tiles... You may also want to "nice" the process for grabbing tiles if you're getting a lot of them. (eg >20K)
2> A tool to create/look-at/modify the database for maps. (Remove/add map tiles at a set level, etc.) I'm sure I can load any SQLLite editor and use select commands to remove the entries by hand. But it would be easier to do this in a UI. (eg remove all tiles except those in levels 12 & 18.)
3> Repeat texts over voice a little more often for long spans. My old Magellan would tell me the instructions 3 times, with a 4th warning when the turn came. Once when I started on the path (after the previous turn), once at 5 miles out, and once at 2 miles out. Then it would "ding" or say "turn right/left" when I hit the fork. Seems right now I sometimes get a message mid-road, but not always. And the repeat before the turn is happening a hundred yards or so before the turn. Not helpful when going 60mph and it's telling you to exit at the exit you're passing.
This app has really come a long way in a little time. It's seriously at a level where it's better than the OVI maps already, which is saying something. Major thanks for all the work you've put into this. Is there a "donation" link somewhere I can hit?
