Less steps to find a route, to make this or that in the app

What I really don`t like, is that I have to do many many steps through many windows- doesn`t matter, what I want to do.
This is one of my most important point for MFN.

For example, finding a route, with start and end, without GPS (because often I look one day before I drive, to know when I have to start and so on):
  • It doesn`t work, when I want to do it over the tab "navigate". There I need GPS and I cannot enter a start, only an end.
  • I´ll do it with "search":
  1. Tap menu.
  2. Tap "search"
  3. Tap Adress
  4. (Tap country)
  5. Tap city, enter cityname, choose city (not so easy in mapfactor when you don`t know the region of the city!)
  6. Tap street, enter streetname, choose street (not so easy in mapfactor when you don`t know the region of the street!)
  7. Find housenumber. Many times impossible. Tap in the housenumber (only possible, if it found that one before).
  8. Set as start.
  9. It goes to the map (why???). Again tap menu.
  10. Tap "search"
  11. Tap Adress
  12. (Tap country and so on)
  13. Tap city, enter cityname, choose city (not so easy in mapfactor when you don`t know the region of the city!)
  14. Tap street, enter streetname, choose street (not so easy in mapfactor when you don`t know the region of the street!)
  15. Find housenumber. Many times impossible. Tap in the housenumber (only possible, if it found that one before).
  16. Set as end.
  17. Again it goes to the map (why???). Again tap menu.
  18. Tap on navigate doesn`t work- it takes another start location (that one I had one day before). So I tap on route-info.
  19. Tap on travel-route.
  20. Tap on "make the route"
  21. Tap on navigate. Wow, 21 steps.

Sygic:
  1. Tap on "search / navigate to"
  2. (Tap country and so on)
  3. Tap city, enter cityname (already after few letters the right city comes to choose), choose city
  4. Tap street, enter streetname (already after few letters the right street comes to choose, choose street
  5. Tap in the housenumber, the possible numbers are already shown. But you can choose also crossings. Tap your choice.
  6. Tap on navigate.
  7. The route is shown on the map, incl. time and distance.
  8. Tap on start. Now you start the navigation- after 8 steps.

OSMAnd:
  1. Tap on Dashboard
  2. Tap arrow (navigation)
  3. Different choices: Start or end to edit?
  4. For both different choices: My GPS-place, favourites, choose on map, adress
  5. I choose adress like in Sygic and Mapfactor. (Tap country and so on)
  6. Tap city, enter cityname (already after few letters the right city comes to choose), choose city
  7. You don`t have to tap "street", it`s already in the field for streetname. Enter streetname (already after few letters the right street comes to choose), choose street
  8. Tap in the housenumber, the possible numbers are already shown. Tap your choice. Or you go back and choose crossing street.
  9. Tap on an arrow like "okay".
  10. It automatically makes the route (because it always safes the last one, so it already has an end). You can see start & end as text, see the route on map, see time and distance.
  11. Tap on navigate. Now you start the navigation- after 11 steps but with as many choices as someone can dream of ;-) And everything in one place!
  12. If you want another end, you have altogether 18 steps, but much more comfortable than in mapfactor. Because in mapfactor you`re always leaded back to the map and from there you always have to go to the menu and so on and so on....


Tomorrow I`ll write more about these points....
