Navigator 7.2: Full Access to All Favourites in your Navigation for Android Auto, and More

Pervious version 7.1 of MapFactor Navigator brought fullscreen mode and map gestures to navigation for Android Auto as well as searching within POI search results in the phone app. Now, Navigator 7.2 comes with further handy features for both smartphones and Android Auto.

Access all Favourites on Android Auto - thanks to the new search

It is now possible to quickly and easily search Favourites across folders in both the standard app and Android Auto. This is great news for all users, especially those using MapFactor navigation on Android Auto as it solves the Google limitation of only being able to display 6 items on one screen.
