MapFactor Navigator 4.0 for Android brings many improvements, the major being the introduction of the new offline one-line fulltext search.

Description

New search possibilities in Navigator 4.0

mapFactor Navigator 4.0 - Search engine options

MapFactor offline one-line fulltext search is offering a more comfortable and faster search alternative to the classic method of searching. Its use is as simple as of the online Google search, but you don't need a data connection.

Navigator 4.0 also brings a new variant of online search with Google autocomplete.

As a result, Navigator 4.0 users can choose from 4 search options:

  • Prefer MapFactor = offline MapFactor one-line fulltext search
  • Prefer Google = online Google one-line search
  • MapFactor classic searching = search in more steps
  • Google autocomplete = online Google autocomplete search

When using the new search engine users can use Google voice typing for simpler input. With all these improvements searching for a destination in Navigator has never been easier, more convenient or faster.

Head-Up Display

Roundabout exit number has been added to Head-Up Display information. Users can also switch between mirrored and normal projection. The normal variant can work as a simplified navigation display.
