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):

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":
- Tap menu.
- Tap "search"
- Tap Adress
- (Tap country)
- Tap city, enter cityname, choose city (not so easy in mapfactor when you don`t know the region of the city!)
- Tap street, enter streetname, choose street (not so easy in mapfactor when you don`t know the region of the street!)
- Find housenumber. Many times impossible. Tap in the housenumber (only possible, if it found that one before).
- Set as start.
- It goes to the map (why???). Again tap menu.
- Tap "search"
- Tap Adress
- (Tap country and so on)
- Tap city, enter cityname, choose city (not so easy in mapfactor when you don`t know the region of the city!)
- Tap street, enter streetname, choose street (not so easy in mapfactor when you don`t know the region of the street!)
- Find housenumber. Many times impossible. Tap in the housenumber (only possible, if it found that one before).
- Set as end.
- Again it goes to the map (why???). Again tap menu.
- Tap on navigate doesn`t work- it takes another start location (that one I had one day before). So I tap on route-info.
- Tap on travel-route.
- Tap on "make the route"
- Tap on navigate. Wow, 21 steps.
Sygic:
- Tap on "search / navigate to"
- (Tap country and so on)
- Tap city, enter cityname (already after few letters the right city comes to choose), choose city
- Tap street, enter streetname (already after few letters the right street comes to choose, choose street
- Tap in the housenumber, the possible numbers are already shown. But you can choose also crossings. Tap your choice.
- Tap on navigate.
- The route is shown on the map, incl. time and distance.
- Tap on start. Now you start the navigation- after 8 steps.
OSMAnd:
- Tap on Dashboard
- Tap arrow (navigation)
- Different choices: Start or end to edit?
- For both different choices: My GPS-place, favourites, choose on map, adress
- I choose adress like in Sygic and Mapfactor. (Tap country and so on)
- Tap city, enter cityname (already after few letters the right city comes to choose), choose city
- 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
- Tap in the housenumber, the possible numbers are already shown. Tap your choice. Or you go back and choose crossing street.
- Tap on an arrow like "okay".
- 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.
- 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!
- 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....
